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. What do you think? Are you excited to play the full game? Underwhelmed overall? How quickly did you turn off motion controls? Who is your favorite character?
Here are my answers: Pretty fun, yes, not particularly, after one round, and Ribbon Girl. For more eloquent thoughts on my early impressions of Arms, head here, or watch the video above.
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.
