ARMS Online Tournament This Month, Another Global Test Punch Coming
During today's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced a tournament for their fighting game ARMS, as well as another Global Test Punch coming later.
To participate in the preliminaries, players go through the game's online Ranked Match mode March 8 - March 18. The top players then move on to the online finals on March 31, which will be streamed live from Nintendo of America headquarters. All finalists get official art from the game sent to them, as well.
Starting on the same day as the finals, Nintendo will also be hosting a three-day Global Test Punch for the game. The Test Punch acts as an online demo for players without the game to test it out and see if they like the game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
