13 hours ago when I woke up with my son, I bought Arms on a whim, maybe to celebrate his first day of summer. We have paused to eat, and rearrange the way we sat so we could play and charge. This is the most fun I've had with a game in a long time. The party match mode is absolutely perfect. the ability to locally pair up for the online matchmaking is great.
The way the matchmaking works, with the lobby showing everyones game, and keeping a constant rotation between players and modes, time just melts away. Between volleyball, B-ball, one-on-one, free for alls, team battles, co op against a super-armed AI monster, and little variables being thrown your way the longer you play, this is the perfect matchmaking. I'm not particularly competitive, and can't make my way through the Grand Prix on a high enough level to even unlock ranked mode, but this game i had no interest in before today now has my ringing endorsement. Hope people take to this, I'd love to see some new fighters and maps over time.
