i was interested in ARMS but compared to every other game that came out for the Switch in 2017 (BotW, Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 DX) it just didnt capture my attention enough to pick it up, and now i feel like ive missed the hype train. i have little desire to pick it up now because any form of a fanbase that could have formed out of ARMS is already there. comparatively - i picked up the original Splatoon on day 1, and what really made that first month more exciting than anything was getting to be one of the first to try out this new game concept. people made mistakes, experimented with different weapons, uncovered the game's hidden lore, developed their own strategies, and i got to be a part of it. but ARMS has been out for over a yea now, so i wont get to be a part of that this time around. i would be playing catch-up, and probably just end up playing standard online matches for a few weeks until i get bored with it. and i really do think that is what stopped it from being a smash it, its a good game, just not as good everything else. kind of a "wrong place at the wrong time" scenario
