ARMS releasing on June 16th alongside Neon Yellow Joy-Cons + Joy-Con AA Battery Pack
During today’s Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo shared some more details about its upcoming fighters: ARMS. Many of the details were previously shared via trailers a few weeks ago (click here for said details!), but we did get some new tidbits.
First, here’s the list of attribute each ARM has, and that activates when delivering a charge punch:
- Fire
- Ice
- Electricity
- Explosion
- Stun
- Blind
- Wind
Each ARM has one special attribute, and can be customised. Since you can actually equip two types of ARMS, the possibilities are not quite endless, but there’s still a lot of possible variations.
As you progress through the game, and more specifically when you win fights, you earn in-game currency that can be used to play the ARM Getter. This is the name of a mode where you can try to win some new ARMS for your fighters.
During the presentation, it was revealed that ARMS would be playable with either 2 or players, in 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 battles (with the latter being considerably more chaotic than the former). A new playable character was also revealed: MinMin, a super-fast female fighter with ramen-arms.
Here’s the ARMS segment from the Nintendo Direct presentation, along with some screenshots and the boxart:
- Neon Yellow Joy-Con
- Neon Yellow Joy-Con straps
- Joy-Con AA Battery Pack
