I get paid tomorrow and was thinking about picking up ARMS. Anyway, I don't have any Switch friends and also mostly play games alone. Is this game worth getting? If I don't have someone to play with, does game have an online aspect? Thoughts appreciated
I'm not saying this as a total bad thing but is just my opinion. "The game looks like they ruined Punch out."
Ignoring that, like it was mentioned earlier, a demo for blaster master zero exist on nintnedo eshop and I wrote a review of it, also recommend it. 2 dlc characters Azure striker Gunvolt and Eroko (From gal gun) exist for the game with more updates to come exist for a low price of 10$. I also suggest getting Mighty Gunvolt burst which i also am reviewing and will be published sometime this week both by same devs for same price.
Honestly I suggest avoiding buying retail games right now as most of them are wildly out of reasonable prices for what they offer. Puyo Puyo Tetris is $30 on eshop and $40 at retail. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe should not be $60 in my opinion, but nintendo will continue to be greedy with ports while others will actually sell ports at reduced prices, Ultra street fighter 2 the Final Challengers is $40, a game that is over 25 years old updated once again adding 2 new characters, some minor tweaks and balances, some extra game modes, is not really worth that much. Super Bomber man R a game that hasn't had a new game since PSN and XBOX Live arcade which was over 5 years ago, should least be reduced to indie status and be digital only for less than $20. $50 for it is a bit much but we all know is Konami. Cave story + which is basically a steam port is cheaper on steam than the switch port. I dunno if anything else was added for switch exclusive but again $30 is a bit much for a game which was Freeware>Wiiware>DSIshop>Steam>3DS>Switch.
Keep in mind these are just personal opinions. You are free to purchase the games you wish. But I strongly recommend a discount for most of the retail games. There is a few Download indie game gems on eshop like shovel knight Shantae, Wonderboy, which is about $20 and some which are less like blaster master zero and mighty gunvolt burst and all the neo geo arcade ports. Honestly I only purchased 4 games so far and I only plan to get 3 more currently as far as i seen for this year. Shovel Knight, Shantae and Wonderboy are great games but $5 less would make them about perfect. So far Inti creates have been pricing the games they publish at affordable prices and worth it for the price as well, is nothing short of shallow.
