I played ARMS back in 1996 but it was on PS1 and it was a game called Robo Pit

That's not even remotely the same OP. Come on now.

Inspiration implies anyone on the dev team even had the faintest idea this game existed, and thought "hey, that's a good idea!"
Or, someone picked up two joy cons as was like "Hey, let me punch you", a far more liekly scenario.

You're a year too early cause ARMS is based more off Virtual ON.

It was about 100x better too.
The control scheme isn't just innovative, it's a HUGE part of the design and tactical system in the game. Come one man.
In no game mentioned can you curve a punch around or counter, nor can you throw a shield out and curve a punch over or to the side of it. That's another game in itself.

I played a lot of robo pit on the saturn. It was mediocre but interesting.
You blew any chance of an interesting discussion with this stupid thread title. What is so hard about saying something like the game design of arms reminds me a little of this old game?

I see we're at that stage of new Nintendo IP where we drudge up obscure-ass games from 400 years ago to get the 'lack of innovation' narrative rolling.
Same.
Yes! The boxing glove absolutely reminds me of Monkey Fight! I had the little spark of recognition, but I couldn't quite place what it reminded me of.

That is for sure some 90s ass arcade music.
Oh, outside of those 2 things, eh? So, name a bunch of other games that share those traits?
Come on guys. It's similar on more than one level. And who cares if it is. It doesn't mean you'll enjoy the game less.
You can review my post history but I already said that ARMS does in fact take a few keys off older games.

that's true too
How do you detach those things to do two-player and play on the TV?
exactly ARMS is going to be great!

I played breath of the wild in 1986 but it was called just Legend of Zelda
This is a meme now
Even if the games looked as similar as the OP implies, what reason is there to point it out? Apply the same title to other recent games and it would sound ridiculous:
"I played Horizon back in 2016 and it was a game called Far Cry: Primal"
"I played The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild back in 1986 and it was a game called The Legend of Zelda"
"I played The Surge back in 2016 and it was a game called Dark Souls 3"
"I played Knack back in 0 and it was a historical event known as the birth of our lord and saviour."
I just don't understand.

Regardless of whatever the OP is talking about it looks kinda cool.
I remember when people kept trying to downplay Splatoon's gameplay mechanics as well. it was supremely embarrassing to witness.
This so much. I wonder if Sega will try to leverage the hype.
that's true too
Let me make this easier for you since we went over it a hundred times in NX speculation​ threads:

I don't think a similar camera perspective or customization options are really indicative of a game being so similar that you can say they're the same when the core gameplay loop is so divergent.
That's like saying: I played Minecraft in 1997 but it was on N64 and it was a game called Goldeneye. Because both games use a first person perspective and let you switch your equipped item on the fly.
If someone made a thread and said "I played Horizon back in 2016", Horizon fans would say "cool". This thread, though, is full of folks who actually seem ... offended... that someone suggested that a new game resembles an older game in some way.
And that's amazing.
He's not literally saying they are exactly the same, you know. Not sure if your post was serious or not.
I had sex back in 1994 but it was on PC and it was a game called Virtual Valerie.

Nah. Plenty of folks in this thread agreeing that Arms seems to be closely inspired by other games like Virtual On. They just don't agree that it looks like this particular game.
Not a single person is saying anything like that at all.
Many people can see that it could have gotten inspiration from Virtual-on or the like. But to think that Nintendo is cribbing from a poorly received Saturn/PS1 game is really pushing believability.
I liked Robo Pit. I used to play it in college but it's not the first game to have customizable weapons or that view. The game also has similarities to From Softwares "Frame Gride" but I would never claim that either game was even known by the ARMS development team.
That's like saying "I played Skyrim back in 1995 but it was on Saturn and it was a game called Virtual Hydlide"

Like, for real. People have been comparing it to Virtual On for ages, but OP just needs this "gotcha!" moment for his idea that ARMS is based on a game that came after Virtual On, and that has less similarities to ARMS than Virtual On.
I'm sure there is an indie VR game that has done something closer than ARMS, this game is nothing more than two people in an arena / third-person camera, which TONS of games have done.
To me ARMS is all about, as the name suggests, the arms they use and the unique control and tactical design behind it.
This, sorry but being enlightened about video games and knowing better than to believe Nintendo is any good is not allowed here.

I played the shit out of Robo Pit on Saturn back in the day and they're not similar at all.
I'm guessing you've never tried to criticize Horizon on GAF. I go to bat for Horizon and even I know that's a dangerous proposition.

Yes, Nintendo never gets criticized for anything on here. Star Fox Zero, Metroid Prime Federation Force, Hey! Pikmin, NES Classic shortage/discontinuation...
All received universal praise from us fanboys.
Okay, but there aren't a lot of games like this, viewpoint and customizable weapons. Can we agree to that? If you disagree, then just name me 10.

You might want to look up the word criticism in the dictionary. 😂
Also, Nintendo gets attacked more than any other company. The golden child is Sony. They're the greatest of all companies.
