I know gamestops still do and best buys do. with gamestops they're given just slightly more space than the Vita (and yes they still stock Vita games)

Definitely. It's really fun any way you play it. And online is pretty fun too.

I know that Donkey Kong was originally named such because Miyamoto thought donkeys were stubborn and that described Donkey Kong or whatever, but if they're retconning the original Donkey Kong this is one hell of a way to do it.

Still nothing. They removed it from a listing of upcoming stuff so we were hoping for a stealth "now available"... and nothing.

That sucks. I've been holding off the pc and PS4 version cause it seems perfect for Switch in handheld mode.

I would say no until I saw the exhibition match with the developer of the game against the guy who won the tournament. Now I'd say that the game definitely has a solid base to it, but look forward to many months of growing pains and grab spamming if you buy it right away as everyone figures it out.

I'd also say the motion controls were a huge letdown but poo poo, that guy sure knew how to leverage them...

Step up from X for sure, but that seems a bit intense for a normal battle theme.

I think whether or not you buy ARMS on launch should depend on how much mileage you think you can get out of the online, cause that's the real meat of the game.

If a wacky boxing game with a surprising amount of depth seem interesting to you then yes. It seems light on single player content but the online is very good.

This is the only thing worrying me about ARMS. I'm a solo player 90% of the time. That said, if the ai is reasonable I'm the kind of player who can spend hours smashing bots in fighting games.

Honestly I don't really see any reason not to dive into the online of ARMS, unless you have garbage internet or something. There are plenty of casual modes you can just play for fun. The main thing that makes online suck is salty people talking poo poo, but its a Nintendo game so they can't really do that. Or at least you can't tell when they do :v:

Donkey is just his adjective and had been this whole time. Much like Funky Kong is a Kong who is funky, Donkey Kong is a Kong from Donk.
