Out of the games shown prior to the launch of Nintendo’s new Switch console, Arms stood out as one that really surprised me. The controls were a lot more stable than things like the old Wii Sports boxing that came with their first motion controller system. Not only that but the JoyCons give a different feel to fighting with the Wiimote and nunchuck. Instead, you have a joystick at the ready for menu options, and can press...

Today Nintendo premiered a new Nintendo Direct video presentation all about its upcoming ARMS game for the Nintendo Switch console which dove deeper into...

Then there’s all that footage of that wacky game “Arms” with various boxing fighters with extendable arms! What in the WORLD is going on? So today I got to check out the Nintendo Switch at a press event in downtown Toronto. Of course I...

I’ll admit it. 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. ARMS is just as strange at first as I remember Splatoon looking when it was revealed. The game looks weird at...
