Even though I only own one switch game this definitely isn't worth an impulse buy for me. It also wasn't the best idea to release so many "Competitive" games in the same few months following the system launch, mario kart 8 DX is out, splatoon 2 is really soon, and now pokken DX is coming, possibly smash too. We need some variety Nintendo.

2017-06-08 22:05:18 +0000 UTCGreat review, it was just about what I expected from the game. I'll be keen to pick this up. One tidbit I think the review should mention is that the game is planned to be followed up with regular updates.

2017-06-07 20:12:25 +0000 UTCI wasn't able to give the Global Test Punch a whirl, but the final product looks like a fun enough game to consider purchasing at launch. Thank you for the well done review!

2017-06-07 18:25:02 +0000 UTCHa, can we get Splatoon with the Arms soundtrack?? That'd be my ideal combination!

2017-06-07 15:41:33 +0000 UTCVery helpful review. Curious to see how they expand upon the game. Splatoon really exploded after launch.
2017-06-07 14:32:50 +0000 UTCAfter playing the test punch, this is about what I expected. Not my kind of game really though, so I'll hold off until Splatoon.

2017-06-07 14:31:14 +0000 UTCGreat job Huber, as always. I imagine (and hope) this game winds up feeling like Splatoon in that, at release, felt very bare-bones...but a few months of free content later; really fleshed out the game. Thanks for all you do, Allies!
2017-06-07 14:24:26 +0000 UTCI was expecting a score around this mark. I knew it wouldn't be very deep, but it looks great and is innovative. I bought the Switch for that Nintendo innovation and novelty. Luckily, I was able to pre-order this for 50.99. 👍

2017-06-07 14:14:12 +0000 UTCMan. I just can't get enough of that soundtrack. Been planning on getting this right away. Hopefully they pull through with free updates as meaty as Splatoon was. Nicely done Mr. Huber.
