    • @ThomasGameDocs
      @ThomasGameDocs  5 ปีที่แล้ว +324

      Yeah, it's a bit of a shame. I mean, it didn't do _badly_ or anything, but compared to Splatoon's HUGE success, it doesn't really measure up...

    • @checkers-xd
      @checkers-xd 5 ปีที่แล้ว +171

      It doesn’t get updated much and the variety is very limited to splatoon in elements such as gameplay, game modes, game designs, and overall complexity not much replayability. Without question arms is a very fun game and is always fun to play with friends and family, yet the lack of “freshness” coming from the gameplay itself is where it goes down. In my opinion it’s Nintendo’s fault for this since they weren’t focusing on the game as much as they should, and of course the price..

    I was just thinking about Min Min's name for a moment because you spent so much time talking about her development and how she was based on noodles. Well... I just found out something I'm impressed I didn't realize earlier. Min Min's name is directly based on the word for "noodle" used in Chinese and many of the languages that evolved from it such as Korean and Japanese. It also may or may not be a coincidence, but "Min min" is one way to say "noodle" in Chinese. I can't say for sure whether it was intended or not as (well, obviously) the devs were all Japanese so it's hard to tell. But at the very most we know for a fact that her name was based on the word for noodle no matter which language it was truly based off of.
    Edit: Something to note is that we Asians don't say "ramen" the same way "those diggly darn westerners" say, if one thinks the name was based on how the name sounds, it isn't. The "men" in "ramen" almost always has a sort of curve to it. I would assume it was just a spelling thing rather than a sound thing.

    Ok, don't read this comment the wrong way.
    First of all, I love this channel's take on content. They explain things in a very detailed way.
    Secondly, I am in no way saying that Arms is a bad game. I actually love Arms, designs and concepts. The game is incredibly clever and I'm a sucker for when developers make worlds immersive by making them feel just like the real thing.
    But I really wouldn't claim that Arms is a new thing in any way. In fact, most of what Arms did in terms of mechanics was already there. Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi on the ps2 already had solved the over-the-shoulder camera problem, simply because the game is based on long range fighting! It didn't have customization per se, but it did include an enormous roster of characters each with their own set of ranged and close combat attacks.
    And again, is it the first Nintendo fighting game? There's several versions of Punchout, there's Wii Boxing, there's Smash Bros... and there's also game modes in other games that are reminescent of what a fighting game is. Say, Mario Kart's battle mode for example. I wouldn't think these were untested grounds for Nintendo.

  • @thebenwilbert

      @ThomasGameDocs  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, that makes a lot more sense, actually. I kind of meant like a corkscrew _shape_ , like a spirally thing, rather than an actual cork screw used to open bottles, BUT I did show a picture of a bottle-opening cork screw, so that was kind of dumb on my part. Glad you enjoyed the video, though!

    • @alexsantee

      @@ThomasGameDocs in mathematics this "corkscrew shape" is called a helix. This is a point where many people get mistaken because it's usually called a spiral, but a spiral is the curve you get when you revolve around one point while getting away from it. If you want to put emphasis in the shape I think saying helix would be the best way to go.
