Nintendo Switch Presentation: Stretchy boxing game Arms announced

Nintendo’s next big game announcement during the Switch Presentation is a fighting/sports game called Arms. Think of it like Wii Sports: Boxing meets Stretch Armstrong (or a fighting game where everyone is Dhalsim for you Street Fighter fans).

To play, you push the JoyCon Controller forward to punch and pull back to block. Nintendo also showcased a short a demo of Arms featuring two characters, Spring Man and Ribbon Girl, with lots of wacky action. Arms will also feature local and online multiplayer. I think it looks frantic and fun with a very cartoony visual style.

Arms will be released for the Nintendo Switch this Spring.
