Where were you when ARMS flopped?

Where were you when ARMS flopped?

>fighting game
>in a non-traditional format
>on an untested system that nobody wants
>from a company that hasn't been relevant in fightan games since SF2

is anyone surprised by this?

>Switch version of Nights of Azure 2 isn't on the chart

Uh oh

>Everybody's Golf is beating MHXX
Looks like gooks wont fall for the same trick twice

Sup Forums was convinced it was going to be the next Splatoon and people were going to have to eat a bag of dicks again.

>Splatoon has more pre-orders than a mainline Dragon Quest
Is Splatoon the next Pokemon? It has the potential to get a bunch of other media franchises too.

No, user, as soon as we start talking about the success of Splatoon then we need to throw preorders out the window because then it goes against the narrative that Nintendo is failing.

All those preorders just mean that the masses are stupid and will eat up anything Nintendo shits out. Keep up

>the Sup Forums is a one person meme again

Japs really have a hard on for Splatoon. There was some media saying they hadn't seen a game take off like this since Dragon Quest on the NES.

Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Pokémon, Monster Hunter = Switch domination in Japan

Dragon Quest is on it's way out though. It's a very generic series and if it weren't for brand loyalty and the fact that they can pump out a new game whenever they need to with minimal effort, it would already be dead.

You know nothing, child.

Only popular in Japan which is like 1/100 America's population

Go back fucking redditor

Smash Bros.

>is splatoon the next pokemon
You filthy smelly grimey stinky dirty uncultured weebs need to know your place.

given that if combined it has more preorders than Splatoon 2 I'd say you're wrong.

yeah but you are combining 2 different games.
the 3ds version is unique.
it beating each game individually is a big achiveemnt.

>that Splatoon 2
lmao
good luck finding a switch in japan for the next year

>most recent estimates, switch has sold 770k switches
>splatoon 2 has about 642k preorders
what did Japan mean by this?

hes right, DQ is the McDonalds of RPG. Pretty much like CoD is for FPS. You could make a list of the best 5, or maybe 10, best RPG ever made and not a single DQ title would make it into the list.

what were splatoon initial preroders in 2015?
i remmeber the opening week was around 100k or some shit wich wasnt that great but had some astounding legs.

Is monster hunter flopping?

More like 1/3.
I think a much higher percentage percentage of the population buys video games though.
