Nintendo Switch: Arms, the extendable arm punching game, confirmed for Fall 2017

13 Jan 2017

Nintendo today detailed Arms, a new game for the upcoming Nintendo Switch.

The name of the game is hitting opponents with extendable arms.

Each Joy-Con will control one of your players’ arms; when you punch, your character also punches. You can curve a punch by twisting your fist. Player movement is controlled through a tilt of the Joy-Con, while shoulder buttons are used for actions like jumping.

Arms will be available in Fall 2017. The Nintendo Switch will be available from 3 March.
