Lmfao, EDGE rarely is baised towards Nintendo. There would be tons of issues gone by with little to no content for Nintendo and poor scores to boot. Arms is a fresh game series with no previous games to pull it down. Tekken seems like more of the same which is the same bug that bit Street Fighter. People are craving new fighting experiences and Arms fits the bill. 

It took me about 4 plays before I really started to feel and accept the motion controls of ARMS. Since then I think it is a phenomenal experience with a ton of potential. I doubt most of the reviewers submitting for the game really took the time to investigate it in its entire experience. Many reviewers look at unique and untested fighting game styles, creative graphics, motion controls, Nintendo, or any other quality of ARMS with a good deal of bias and scepticism. As a new franchise, it is even more susceptible to this. I would say that a combined review of 7.7 as a first franchise outing on metacritic shows that the game is amazing.  To me, as a first game in the franchise, a 9/10 is not unreasonable for the solid game it delivers.

Eh, don't agree with that Tekken score but oh well.
