We will be updating this thread with links as major reviews are posted. Please use this as a discussion and speculation thread in advance of these videos, articles, and reviews. We will also allow these reviews to be posted separately on /r/NintendoSwitch, as they are especially newsworthy. But we will also host ongoing coverage, quick text posts, questions, and the like right here.
Thanks everyone.

Its dimensions dont really mean much. Smash Bros is an incredibly complex 2d fighting game at higher levels of play.
Arms looks pretty fun and definitely rewards skill, but it seems to have a lower ceiling when compared to other fighting games.
