ARMS (Nintendo Switch)

ARMS is a fighting game from Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch in which you trade blows using extendable arms. Described as a unique multiplayer fighting game, it supports one to four players and carries a PEGI 12 rating.

A fighting game with a twist

The hook is right there in the name. Instead of ordinary punches and kicks, fighters throw extendable arms, which changes how a match feels and what skills matter. As a Nintendo-published fighting game, it is meant to be approachable and distinctive, with the extendable-arm idea giving it its own identity among fighting titles.

Gameplay and features

• Fighting game built around extendable arms
• Unique multiplayer fighting concept from Nintendo
• Player count of one to four
• Rated PEGI 12
• Published by Nintendo

Because the game is designed with multiplayer in mind, it works best when you have an opponent beside you. A fighting game that supports up to four players can host more than a simple one-on-one duel, which suits groups of friends who want to take turns or play together.

Why play it on Nintendo Switch

ARMS was made for Nintendo Switch, a console that lends itself to sharing the screen and passing controllers around. The physical game card keeps the game simple to store and swap. As it is a first-party Nintendo release rated PEGI 12, it is a good fit for teens and older children who want a competitive game that does not look or play like a standard brawler.

Released on 16 June 2017, ARMS has been part of the Nintendo Switch library for years. Nintendo describes it as a unique multiplayer fighting game, and the extendable arms are what earn that description: they change the feel of a fight compared with ordinary punches and kicks. With up to four players supported, a group of friends can rotate in and out, and the PEGI 12 rating keeps it open to most of the household.
