I really like the characters, style and music of Arms. The gameplay is fun but I can't really see myself playing a lot of it since the fights all end up feeling pretty same-y despite the variety in arms. I would've liked to see all the great characters in a more traditional fighting game. The difficulty of the AI in the arcade mode is impressive for a modern nintendo game, though Hedlock is stupid and begs the player to cheese the fight. The minigames are fun enough but the AI can't figure out how to play them. The online works surprisingly well for a modern nintendo game as well. I also like all the art you can get in the gallery, plenty of soul.
