I did have a bit of a huh moment when the trailer started for this game. Nintendo tends to do silly little skits when they introduce a new game or concept, but this one was a bit bizare at first. But once it started to show gameplay it made a bit more sense.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARMS<\/em> is just as strange at first as I remember <em>Splatoon<\/em> looking when it was revealed. The game looks weird at first, but then starts to look like it could be a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->In <em>ARMS<\/em> you will choose a fighting champion from around the world, equip your own combination of extendable arms, and then use a mix of button presses and quick hand motions to really take the fight to your opponent. Throw punches and guide them midfiight to hit agile fighters, avoid incoming attacks with dashes, or trampoline high into the air to rain down fists from above. Power-up your punches to deal extra damage or curve your fists around obstacles to hit skittish opponents. Fill up your special gauge to dish out devastating combinations and finish them off. Unleash your inner fighter in this unbelievable sporting event!<\/p>\n<p>Check out some of the features of the game, as well as the box art and some screenshots from the game. The game doesn&#8217;t have a firm release date yet, but is planned for a release in Spring 2017<\/p>\n<p><strong>FEATURES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fight via simple motion and button controls <\/strong>\u2013 Grab onto your Joy-Con with a unique \u201cthumbs-up\u201d grip and use simple motions and button presses to outthink your opponent. Toss and curve punches when you find an opening, and dodge a flurry of incoming attacks. It\u2019s fast-paced fun for everyone!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Select from a variety of fighters<\/strong> \u2013 Select from brand-new fighting superstars like Ribbon Girl, Master Mummy, and more! Each fighter has their own special attributes to learn and master.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fight in arenas with unique obstacles<\/strong> \u2013 Throw punches around (or through) mysterious liquid-filled columns in a spooky laboratory, or in certain arenas, toss fighters onto trampolines for epic aerial skirmishes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose your arms carefully<\/strong> \u2013 Each weapon has its own strength. Some are slow and do tons of damage, while others are fast as lighting, but will only serve to set up larger combinations. It\u2019s up to you to mix and match your arms to fit your play style.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k7s3UB_8dFM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><center> <\/p>\n<div class=\"tumblr-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/embed.tumblr.com\/embed\/post\/jQUko9niqkGxW6XoVVWQ4w\/155830772555\" data-did=\"53498727d8404aafcb73a078a0dc428f85b27a90\"><a href=\"http:\/\/darkainartsgamers.tumblr.com\/post\/155830772555\/more-at-httpgamersdarkainartscom\">http:\/\/darkainartsgamers.tumblr.com\/post\/155830772555\/more-at-httpgamersdarkainartscom<\/a><\/div>\n<p>  <script async src=\"https:\/\/assets.tumblr.com\/post.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ll admit it.
