Hogge Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 There's no thread for this game, so I thought I'd make one. My impressions are: quite pretty graphics, seems like fun, but I sort of have the sneaking suspiscion that if you don't want to play it online, it'll have a very limited life span.
nekunando Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 There's no thread for this game, so I thought I'd make one.. It doesn't look particularly good so far and the names of the characters are lazy! Ribbon Girl?
James McGeachie Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Looks like the type of game they were trying to sell the Wii on in 2006.
FireMeowth Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 It's the Luffy game I never knew that I wanted!! Looking forward to learning more about it.
Zell Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Looks like Nintendo were watching The Simpsons when they came up with this.
James McGeachie Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I actually thought it looked fun. Project H.A.M.M.E.R looled kinda fun. Wouldnt have bought a Wii for it though. This title falls in the same category for me.
Charlie Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Looks like the type of game they were trying to sell the Wii on in 2006. Basically an extended version of Wii Sports Boxing. ANother game that no one ever played.
MindFreak Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Could this be what became of Project Giant Robot? Or HAMMER or what was that called?
Mr_Master_X2 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 With this and 1-2 it makes me glad to see Ninety hasn't ditched it's motion stuff. Heck, it all seems to have gotten better and more intricate. This is essentially Wii Boxing's evolution. Why do I now expect a Wii "Crazy" Golf Evolution where after putting the ball it goes flying through the air, sprouts wings and then you have to motion guide it through some crazy sky obstacle course to the hole...?
khilafah Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 i watched the presentation and thought to myself it isn't 2006 anymore. this game didnt interest me one bit.
Julius Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 This is Nintendo being very, very aware of the current success of eSports in my opinion. And that's great, because this game looks like it could be great fun!
Rummy Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Looked pretty vibrant and fun to me; very Nintendo-esque. Can't say I saw lots of value in it though - I presume it's not aiming to be a huge title?

Serebii Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I think this game looks great, but I fear too many won't bother simply because it has motion control
Hero-of-Time Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I think this game looks great, but I fear too many won't bother simply because it has motion control This is me. I simply can't be bothered with that stuff anymore. I had my fill of it during the Wii era. One of my mates was also watching the conference live and sent me a text after the showing of 1 2 Switch and this. It said " I thought we were passed all of this mini game rubbish and waggle!". I gotta admit, I thought exactly the same.
Retro_Link Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 To me it look like it could be fun and have hidden depth - but it also looks like it could be fun for 10mins. I presume it will have a single player mode. The characters look lazy compared to PunchOut. Quite why this isn't PunchOut Switch I don't know.
Fused King Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I imagine this game to be quite the work out, but looks like a lot of fun for those who aren't afraid to move their arms in front of the Television.
Serebii Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Seems it was just confirmed in Treehouse Live that Arms has traditional controls
Hero-of-Time Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Seems it was just confirmed in Treehouse Live that Arms has traditional controls Now i'm interested in it.
Serebii Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Now i'm interested in it. Me too I was hesitant because of motion controls but was going to give it a go, but now I am 100% in. People are complaining it's barebones, but like Splatoon's reveal this is just a very small microcosm of the game in a demo
Julius Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Me too I was hesitant because of motion controls but was going to give it a go, but now I am 100% in. People are complaining it's barebones, but like Splatoon's reveal this is just a very small microcosm of the game in a demo Too right, this game looks genuinely fun at a glance, and to find out it has great depth with strategy too? Can definitely see this taking off in eSports Edited January 13, 2017 by Julius Caesar
Ashley Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Quick hot take: more fun than expected. At first it feels like Wii Boxing but once you start being able to be strategic it makes it more interesting. Hopefully this is just a small slice though as there were five characters, three or four areas and one mode. Oh and each character could have three gloves (some shared amongst characters).
liger05 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I thought it looked fun but they should be packing it with the system. I don't think many people will go out and buy it.
