If you have to choose, it has to be Splatoon 2. That's no slight on Arms, I have it and think it's fantastic, but Splatoon is on a whole different level.

I played ARMS on my nephew's Switch and I owned a Wii U so I definitely owned Splatoon, pretty much playing a good amount of time on it.

If I had to choose on getting ARMS or Splatoon 2, I'd choose Splatoon 2. ARMS can be fun but something about it just didn't capture the joyous feeling of playing Splatoon. ARMS controls definitely pale in comparison to Splatoon's controls on the Wii U. The same can be said for the music, while ARMS' music is alright, Splatoon's music was more memorable. I feel like ARMS comes across as more of a one trick pony than Splatoon.

Maybe I'll like ARMS more after several updates but from playing the game, I'd wait until it goes on sale and buy Splatoon 2 on release. Only reason I don't play the first one so much because most my friends moved on from the game and also the end of the Splatfests.

Personally I didn't like Arms local MP (which would have been my main mode of play in that) because it was messy and hard to follow so I sold that. Splatoon doesn't have split screen so I'm not buying that.

My answer: none of them!

The new hedlock mode helps with the local MP a little bit. Still not enough for me, but it's an improvement. I hope a substantial update with another new mode is released soon.

Splatoon 2 seems to be the wisest choice as it looks to have far more content.

I like ARMS but it's pretty bare bones and the gameplay inst especially deep or anything. I kinda regret getting it as ive only put in around 2 hours since I got it on launch day.

ARMS feels like a direct arcade port of an arcade game that doesn't exist. If you're into that kind of game, that might be fine. However Splatoon 2 is likely going to have more longevity.
