  • Fantastically deep and strategic fighting, Lots of customisation options, Well-balanced fighters, Sharp motion controls, Power ups change the flow of a match without ruining it, Robust online play, Sharp visuals that aim for 60FPS
  • Steep learning curve, Brief tutorial is too hands-off

  • Abstract:  What would happen if you stuck some boxing gloves on the end of some really long springs and used those as a character's arms in a video game brawler?That, in a nutshell, is the zany idea behind Arms for the Nintendo Switch. JC Rodrigo, manager of produc...

  • Abstract:  Today's Nintendo Direct has let loose approximately 80 release dates for Nintendo Switch and 3DS games. I'm but one man! Have mercy! That said, one date I'll definitely want to keep track of is June 16, 2017 -- that's when Arms, Nintendo's long-armed figh...

  • I had a lot of fun playing the game in small bursts at a time, but it's hard to keep invested when all I'm doing is beating someone up for each and every round. Let's hope that ARMS will continue the path that Splatoon laid before it by giving players new...

  • Strip away its motion controls and Arms is a fun but forgettable affair, albeit one that you can carry wherever you please thanks to the Switch's portable wizardry. With a pair of Joy-Cons clasped in your hands, it's a different game entirely, becoming on...

  • Abstract:  It was no surprise that the Nintendo Switch got first-party titles from popular franchises such as Mario and Zelda, but few would have predicted Arms, a new fighting game revealed at the Switch launch. Arms pits fighters with extendable arms (hence the...

  • Lo bueno, Accesible pero profundo, Personajes carismáticos, Batallas en línea dinámicas
  • La curva de aprendizaje es dolorosa

  • Lors de sa première présentation, ARMS avait de quoi laisser plus d'un joueur circonspect. Pourtant, il suffit de quelques minutes de jeu pour apprécier son gameplay accessible, et profiter d'un jeu très dynamique et qui plus est très fun à plusieurs. S...

  • Le contrôle avec les Joy-Cons, Une mécanique simple, Parties en ligne délirantes
  • Peu de personnages, Pas de mode histoire
  • Si vous jouer avec des manettes traditionnelles, vous verrez qu'Arms est très fun, mais vous passerez rapidement à autre chose, même si vous pouvez l'emporter partout avec vous grâce à l'ingénieux système de la Switch. Avec une paire de Joy-Cons, c'est un...
