Reader Discussion: What Do You Think Of Arms For Switch?

The first leg of the Arms "Testpunch" finished up on Sunday. What do you think of the game after this early look?
New IPs are rare from Nintendo these days. Arms is not only a new world and collection of characters for Nintendo, but also marks the Switch's first major original, truly exclusive game.
