Lol, good to see I'm not alone in feeling this way. Hear that, Nintendo?
Man, I think I'm getting a little obsessed with this game. Any good sfw fanart floating around yet??
Edit: After a quick 30 second search... none? Bomba confirmed? /s

I hate when people say shit like this when they know it's untrue. Stop shitposting.
This is exactly what people said about Splatoon at first.

The artstyle looks pretty awesome. And Ribbon Girl looks like Karen from street fighter and she ate the ribbon ribbon fruit.

Excuse me? Why do you think that was a shitpost?
Arms looks like a game that doesn't deserve a retail release and should cost 10-20 dollars. You might not agree but that doesn't mean I'm shitposting.

Motions controls optional?!
Okay nevermind what I said earlier:
Now I'm 100% on board.

How is it 10-20? What's the full game entail?
Man, ARMS looks AWESOME
I'm sure this has already been posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zXEQ14IDeM
The character design, and art direction in general, is gorgeous. I love the animation on the extending arms. The moves and mechanics look like so much fun. I'm really excited for this... and I already want Ribbon Girl in Smash, lol.

Based on what evidence
His punches seem slow as shit too, making it pretty hard for him to deal damage to the quicker characters, although I imagine he has quite a lot of hidden tech to help cover that. This game is way deeper and more fun than it looked in the reveal stream - played four or five fights today so happy to field any questions people might have as best I can.

You are shitposting. You know damn well why. This is the first reveal of the game, it's going to look better and and polished as we get closer to release. We don't even know what different modes, and mechanics will be introduced, there certainly will most likely be along with more characters. So your first initial "reaction" to the game is hyperbole and comes off as a way to devalue the game. I'm sure you know that.
And please don't act like you don't know how game development and previewing works.

What he's saying is the exact same shit people said about Splatoon when it was first revealed and they were wrong BIG TIME. I remember it very clearly. Splatoon ended up 100% worthy of being a $60 retail game.

Game is DOA without online imo. They need to have it.
I'm kinda intrigued by the game. The movement options look super fluid and skillful, and the art is colorful and clean. Not being forced to play with motion controls is also nice. Could maybe be a sleeper hit?
Yes.

That and the overwatch comparisons bode well for this game's chances.
Only kind of joking.
Sick artwork. This needs a cartoon,stat.

Yes, they said so during the reveal at the conference.

Good to hear. Hopefully the netcode is competent.

Wow, graphics look really good here, and that's 60 FPS right?
OK, cool. I must've not caught that detail since I was talking to my roommate during the presentation.
So ARMS has single-player, local multiplayer, online multiplayer... Motion controls and classic controls... At least five characters, mix-and-match gloves, stages with interactive elements... And it appears to be made by the Mario Kart team. This looks extremely promising so far.
Man, how do I access the timeline where Zelda, Mario Kart and ARMS are all out at launch?
Although MK8 and ARMS should make for a fun spring, followed by Splatoon 2 in the summer.

It was in Splatoon, Mario Kart and Smash, which are their 3 big fast paced online games. I have no reason to think it'd be shit in this
Online is planned. They told so during the presentation.

Nice to see Nintendo take inspiration from SEGA. 
Based on the video that Nintendo decided to show me. The same video that everyone in this thread is using to formulate impressions and speculation with.
If they show me that there's more to the game in a later video, I will say "There is more to the game than initially hinted at, cool." What is the problem here? What is the hostility for?
You don't have to be offended at the notion that Nintendo may be choosing to release a small scale game. Some of the best games ever made in history released at well below $60.

It's on like Expand Dong!
They'll be easy pickings for all of us superior motion control users
No-one knows. Hopefully we get a direct blowout soon.
Based on the guy who presented it, it appears maybe the Mario Kart team? (Someone correct me if I'm wrong)
Again, the game is not available. There is no such thing as a conclusion for a game that has not released.
