Huh? That would be rating it properly.

I feel like the reviewers might actually do Nintendo's new IP justice this time, as unlike Splatoon ARMS is less reliant on the free dlc since it already has a solid amount of content and variety from the get go, so there's nothing to offset the amazing gameplay with. Beyond that it doesn't look like there are any significant flaws with the game, so I could see it getting enough 10s to reach the 90s.

No, it wouldn't be rating it properly, because absolutely nothing about this game screams 90+ outside of the character design.

 

Splatoon did well because it filled a gap in Nintendo's library; team-based shooters. It had all the necessary Nintendo quirks/quality and was a genre that had been demanded. But Arms? But nice is that trying to fill for Nintendo? Fighting? Smash Bros has that covered.

Amazing gameplay screams 90+ to me.

That there is a most improper way to rate games. A game is not suddenly worse due to the existence of other games in it's genre, nor is it magically better due to the absence of other games in it's genre. I mean that makes absolutely no sense at all.
