Nintendo's incredible year continues

It's inevitable that a few of those games would fall by the wayside, then - time is limited, even when you're able to play wherever you wish, and there's simply been too much to keep up with on the Switch. The biggest casualty? For me it'd be Arms, the impeccable fighter from the minds behind Mario Kart 8 that remains, despite some fierce competition, one of the best games available on Nintendo's system. Come the year's end, it'll only be with a slight contrary glint in my eye that I'll personally declare this as Nintendo's greatest game this year.

What makes it so special? Seeing new Nintendo IP is hardly a regular occurrence (even if, as Arms' producer Kosuke Yabuki pointed out to me, it's not quite as rare as some of us might think), and when it's one of the company's most talented teams behind it, it's worth sitting up and paying attention. Like Splatoon before it, Arms knocks it out the park on its first attempt, and it's a dazzlingly adept and enjoyable fighting game, delivered with the kind of polish and character that only a handful of developers could ever attain.

The problem - and, again, it's not exactly the biggest worry in the world to have to endure - is that Arms is in danger of being squeezed out of the conversation by the likes of Splatoon 2, whose release ran uncomfortably close, and by Mario and Zelda. Arms belongs up there with the very best, because it's truly up there with Nintendo's finest. Everyone deserves to feel the satisfaction in taking down a grab-spamming Ninjara in a ranked match, or in the exquisite dance when you face up against someone on your own skill level. Everyone should be embracing this brilliant little fighting game with open arms.

Yeah I've been thinking for weeks now, I feel like Arms is secretly Switches best game. I don't feel it gets the credit or buzz it deserves. Whenever I go back to it I'm grinning ear to ear and it feels so satisfying when you battle it out to a hard won fight.
