Cut to 2018 and a new game called Murderous Pursuits has revived the cat - and - mouse stealth action that made the aforementioned Assassin's Creed mode so compelling and placed it in a silly and fun, albeit sparse, online multiplayer murder party.
But after wildly flailing my limbs around in Arms, a gesture - based fighting game coming this Spring, I'm reminded just how good Nintendo is at crafting competitive multiplayer experiences disguised as sillyparty titles.
