  • Abstract:  If the games industry ever found itself with a shortage of wackiness, they can always turn to Nintendo to serve up something crazy enough that it just might work. Their latest concept is the experimental motion-control fighter, ARMS, where players control...

  • A refreshing take on the age-old fighting genre, Offers a ton of depth despite its casual appearance, Can be very difficult at times, which is a nice change for Nintendo
  • Difficulty might be too high for people looking to pick up and play, Motion controls are good, but have a steep learning curve, Would benefit from a little more content
  • At the end of it all, though, those are small gripes. I still think that most people who pick up ARMS will enjoy their time with it, and I hope people do buy it, if only because it means that Nintendo will be able to refine and improve this excellent form...

  • Deceptively deep, deliberate mechanics, Strong variety of fighters, ARMS, and modes
  • Limited customization options for online play, Game formats and combinations become repetitive if you don't fall in love with the action
  • ARMS is an exciting, offbeat Nintendo Switch game that takes the tournament fighter genre and gives it a Splatoon-like quirky twist...

  • Abstract:  My first hour or so with ARMS was underwhelming.My expectations weren't all that high to begin with, as I really didn't know what to expect from a first-party fighting game on the Nintendo Switch, but the monotony and repetition of the genre rarely holds...

  • Abstract:  If you had told me a year ago that Nintendo would have made motion controls fashionable again with the Switch, I would have laughed. If you had gone on to say it would be doing so with a fighting game, I would have laughed even harder. Yet here we are in...

  • Both motion and stationary controls work well, Lots of depth among the fighters and Arms, Party mode is rad, Vibrant cast of characters
  • Get Arms is haphazard and random, Lackluster singleplayer experience, Simplicity of Grand Prix mode
