Topic: Arms Announced for Switch

[Br26]

Have you always dreamt of having big 'ol fighting arms? Well, this game's for you!

A new IP was shown tonight at the Switch press conference by Nintendo called Arms.

It is a fighting sports game that features you having expendable arms. Movement is similar to boxing, but also like shooting where you aim and fire at distant opponents. You use Joy-Cons in "thumbs up" poses to use moves like twist fist and punch curves. You move your character by tilting the Joy-con, where they can dash and jump.

Footage shown was that of two characters, Spring Man and Ribbon Girl. Action was fast paced, and while you can guard, a lot of the action required none at all.

Arms is set to be released this spring.

I suspect Spring Man and Ribbon Girl are going to be a lot more fun to play as in Super Smash Bros.

I'm glad they're still making games with motion, however this particular game doesn't really appeal to me. The gameplay looks kind of interesting, but I'm just not into 1v1 type games.

Now, if this somehow has some sort of single-player mode... maybe.

Don't sell ARMS short! Maybe it's got legs, too!

I really am enamored with this game. I am going to sink a buttload of time into it.
