Through its most recent Direct Nintendo made the case for ARMS, the upcoming new IP on Switch. We were introduced to new modes, characters and stages, and the end result gave us a rather positive picture of a game with plenty of depth, colour and personality.
As you may have seen we shared detailed preview impressions right after the broadcast as we'd been hands on with a lot of the new modes and characters. We also captured a lot of footage, though of course can only share a limited amount.
So, our previewer Steve Bowling and video man Alex Olney teamed up to pick out some of the best bits; below you can check out the three new characters that were introduced along with some 2v2 local multiplayer action.
Enjoy!
Kid Cobra
Byte & Barq
Twintelle
2v2 Splitscreen - Local Multiplayer

Looks ARMazing.
Sorry.
@Janus1986 That pun was a bit of a STRETCH
ARMageddon! Now see what you've started.
To ARMS, gentlemen.
How did they NOT think of a character who had Nintendo Ultra Hands as arms.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Hook !
Jab !
(Punching at you)
You're goin' down !
ARMS will punch you if you keep so negative.
Excited about the game after this NDirect. I will check the Global Test Punch for sure!
Looks good. Won't be buying but I hope it sells well and the public receive it with open arms
I'm floored with how good this game looks. It always looked good, but now it looks spectacular. Like Splatoon level of awesome... probably the coolest looking fighting game I've ever seen.
Music is epic too btw. Start up that Testpunch demo and just let it play
I was excited for this game from when it was first revealed, and t's come far. I can't wait for this to come out!
minmin for me. i like food. tho' twintelle does have something very minaj aboutt her. it's on the rear end of my mind.
@NickOfTime90 maybe the power glove will make an appearance.
@Jamotello yeah with the Nzapper in splatoon... why not?
Twintelle just killed Etika
@NickOfTime90 Would be cool if Little Mac was in the game using a pair of Ultra Hands...
@Janus1986 Wow that pun was Incredible, i didn't use a pun! Isn't that ARMmazing aswell, well.. dangit..
