Gaming ARMS New Testpunch sessions

[Captain Library]

During January at the Switch Premiere I enjoyed playing ARMS with the Joy-Cons but for more serious and homey sessions I found the Pro Controller more convenient to use, and quicker to react with than the Joy-Cons. The Joy-Cons are an entertaining way if you're against someone locally but via online I'd always go with the Pro Controller.

ARMS was supposed to be the Mario Kart/Splatoon of 3D Nintendo fighting games but it really flopped hard but hey, maybe "ARMS 2" will do better if Nintendo takes liberty in making it more Smash-like.

Anyway, pre-ordered Xenoverse 2 and will get that instead of ARMS.

Pro controller is definitely more convenient, but it dampened the effect of the fighting gimmick as an actual playstyl... For me anyway. I dunno, I spent just about long enough with it to decide I won't be buying.

Xenoverse looks quite fun. There's lots to look forward to just this year, so I don't mind at all that ARMS wasn't for me.
