I think comparing this game to Splatoon is not fair to Splatoon. It makes it sound like all Arms have to do is just follow Splatoons model and it will be successful. Like without that neither Arms OR Splatoon has much going for it. I dont think thats the case. I have a feeling many want it to be big just because its a new IP from Nintendo. Im sure it will sell decent, but I think it will be more like 1 2 Switch. Just something to do while waiting for a bigger title.

You think, but fact tells us different: ARMS is new Nintendo IP, its very fun and interesting game with focus on online play, its Nintendo take out on existing gener, it will have test demo, strong marketing, it will have future free updates for content, impressions of previews and people that actually played game are positive and all saying that game is very fun to play, we talking about new game of Mario Kart team. It's so obvious that even blind man could see why people are comparing this game with Splatoon and why this game could easily become quite popular and one of must have Switch games, even if doesn't hit Splatoon popularity.

You would be very aware of this facts if you are not very close minded about this game, I dont doubt you were very closed minded about Splatoon before launch also. Fact that you try to compare this game to Evolve and refusing to compare it to Splatoon, tells that you dont know what are you talking about.

Ok, lets compare it to Splatoon then. Splatoon was pretty much unfinished when it released, so they gave out free DLC throughout the year instead of delaying it. Is Arms unfinished as well then? Best wait until they finish it then?

You are so hyped about this game that you cant possibly see why someone dont think it will be anything but a smash hit and loved by everyone. I can see the similarities in the way Nintendo markets this game, but comparing it to Splatoon just makes it sound that it really wasnt much to Splatoon other than free DLC. Everyone says its great, so it must be great. No, not really. Every preview of Evolve made it sound like a game changer as well. Thats why I compare it to Arms. I didnt trust the hype from reviewers around Evolve and I dont with Arms either. It looks shallow as hell imo.

You can keep telling me that I dont know what Im talking about if it makes you feel better, but just because this is from Nintendo and made by the MK team doesnt mean its a guaranteed hit.
