ARMS

About This Game

ARMS is a fighting game built around the concept of characters with spring-like, extendable arms. Battles take place in three-dimensional arenas where you punch, grab, and dodge. Unlike traditional fighters, ARMS emphasizes spacing and timing with its long-range attacks. You can play with standard controllers or use the Joy-Con motion controls to throw punches by physically swinging your arms. The game features a roster of unique fighters, each with their own set of customizable ARMS weapons. Matches can be one-on-one or include multiplayer modes like team fights and a volleyball-inspired game. Published and developed by Nintendo, ARMS launched as a flagship title showcasing the Switch's motion capabilities.
