Customer Ratings & Reviews

Arms is fun and wacky and way deeper as a fighting game than any surface similarities it may share to wii boxing. The motion controls are very accurate so you quickly learn that this game is not about flailing your 'arms' wildly. The characters and arms themselves are quite varied, with a nice selection of options to outfit your arms with. Even though I recommend playing with motion controls you can change your controller scheme to single joy-con or pro controller if it suits you better (but I feel it would detract from the experience).Overall I think this game is worth it if you want to play something a bit different on your Switch and don't mind motion controls.

ARMS is Nintendo's newest IP of fighters with extendable arms. Play it with motion controls using the Joy-Con or sitting on the couch with the Joy-Con Grip or the Pro Controller (or single Joy-Con), ARMS gives you freedom to control the characters as they fight in very unique and interactive arenas. Even if you are a veteran of the fighting genre or new to it, there is a lot to like about ARMS. Nintendo also promises to regularly update the game with new characters and arenas throughout its first year, and the first character update has already been release.

Awesome game love the graphics and all the characters one of the best games in the Nintendo switch

ARMS is a new twist in fighting games. Each fighter has extendable arms in whitch they can equip dirrerent gloves called "ARMS" each has different abilities. Their are 10 (now 11) careacets tochose from each are unike as well. lts a fighting game with extendable arms. They could have put more backstory into the chacters with a story mode or even ulockable, lf you are looking for a dikkerent kind offighting game give ARMS a try.

Arms takes the competitive excitement of Boxing and mixes it with some unique motion control that only Nintendo could pull off. Character design and game play is the highlight of this game. Online matches for Arms run very smooth and is handled flawlessly by the unique match making lobby. The game is fun for all ages.

The gameplay itself is okay fun but the singleplayer portion leaves a lot to be desired. I enjoy games that are more story-oriented and this only has a minor Grand Prix. I feel that Nintendo is focusing more on multiplayer games and wishes to capitalize on this by forcing players to spend money to play online ($20/year). I don't approve of this direction, and will only support more story-focuses games. Buy it if you plan to play online a lot; I cannot recommend otherwise until there is a significant price drop (down to $30).

Great game for my kids! Amazing!!! Just remember to buy more control if you want to play with some else

This is the kind of game that is a mix of miner 2040 miner and whisper destruction. Amazing concept!

My son loves it and can't put it down. Need to get him his own gaming TV.

This game was fun for the first 3 days. Lost my interest fairly quickly.

First of all, this game should not be purchased at full price. It is fun, but this doesn't feel like a $60 (or $48 if you have Game Club) game. The graphics are colorful and the gameplay itself is decent, don't get me wrong. It just feels a bit empty to me. It can be quite fun in spurts though. I just don't find myself going to this game much when I want to fire up my Switch.

very colorful graphic and fun. fast pace and challenging for beginners. Very nice single player mode

My son wanted it because he saw someone playing it on youtube. Once he got it though, he played for about 2-3 days and hasn't touched it since. Pretty one dimensional for such a high priced punching game. I probably would not recommend and would return if I could. Waste.

Something different and pretty competitive. Mostly play competitive PC games and this is pretty fun; also got pretty good at the game in the small amount of time it was available for. Global test punch didn't offer much but a few modes in small 6-10 people game lobbies but it got it's point around and was an overall success I think. Definitely going to be picking it up when it comes out.

Game is addicting and fun! There are several ways to customize your fighter and make him or her suitable to your play style. Once you get the rhythm and flow of battle, you will be KO’ing fighters in no time!

This game was well beyond my expectations. The controls and depth of the movements, blocking, jumping, dashing and of course, punching is all very high. There are also lots of extra 'arms' to collect for various fighters, so there is a lot of replay ability. Added bonus - when you get up off the couch and use the Joy Con remotes configured for the arms, you'll have a lot of fun AND burn some extra calories! Small warning - the story mode on level 4 or above is NO JOKE when you get up to the higher stages, especially the final boss. I'd STRONGLY recommend playing on a lesser difficulty if you are just starting out. All in all, great fun and even the little ones (3 and 4) got the hang of it quickly, although the dashing and such was more involved than they could handle (yet!). If you have a Switch, get this game, you won't regret it.

My 7 year old son loves this game, and it's pretty fun for me too. We don't have a second set of controllers yet, so haven't tried the head to head, but playing against the computer is still a good time

My son and I really enjoy this one. It sounds really dumb when you read about it, but it's quite fun. You choose which fighter you want to be, then go fight. You have long arms that you control with motion controls (there are multiple control modes, but one controller in each hand, using motion is the best one, in my opinion). You can unlock and use different Arms on the fighters. I do with there were additional animations for some of the attacks...especially the 'grab' attack. Other than that, if you can grab this one on sale, go for it. Not sure I'd say it's worth $60, but Gamers Club 20% off or lower would be fair.

ARMS is another great Nintendo game. It's a blast to play with friends and family. The gameplay is great, and it's a unique experience. My only issue with it is that it lacks content. There's not much to unlock, beyond extra arms to use. All in all, the game feels complete, though. There's plenty of characters, and a few extra modes. But, if you aren't planning on playing this game with friends/family, or online extensively, I'd recommend waiting until it goes on sale.

Sweet game. So many different ways to play it. I prefer to use the joy con and pretend I'm boxing. Lots of cool characters. Easy to learn. Hard to master. Fun for all ages.
