If you’ve been craving to play ARMS, now is your chance. Round 1 of the ARMS Global Testpunch has recently taken place, with five more rounds coming up during the course of the weekend. Each of these rounds are sessions where Nintendo Switch owners can try out the game, with more sessions occurring next week. Round 2 will begin in about 11 hours and round 3 takes place 6 hours after that, so if you couldn’t play now, you’ll have multiple opportunities throughout the day tomorrow.
The ARMS Global Testpunch Has Begun
Almost over lol
Round one, yes. The event as a whole, no.
well played. ^^
The game is alot of fun. Definitely tiring if you play it for an extended period. I found the traditional controls fine actually. This may have persuaded me to pick it up!
the motion controls don’t work well in a gaming chair like mine, since your motions kind of mix up with the motions of your chair, but otherwise it was fun. i can definitely see how it will be a fun and competitive game.
I was playing standing, and I only had hard time when I panicked.
This game is the worst game for 2017-2050. !!!!!!
Kidding: Motion controlls really faild me i change after 5 mins to pro controller and then i start playing.
It was very very good game with very nice strategy
I enjoyed it, but I definitely need more time to get used to the motion controls- I’m not used to holding my Joy-Cons straight up so I wound up curving my punches without realizing it or intending to. I think grabs need a nerf because that’s all a lot of players tried to do because they do so much damage!
Also would have been nice to know holding the dash button also lets you charge punches BEFORE getting wiped several matches in a row.
Personally, I’m not a fan of the motion controls. Dunno if it’s just me, but the controls were quite weird. The JoyCon Grip worked very well for me tho.
Really wish I had a Switch now. I tried to buy one, but they are all sold out. So sad :(
I don’t want to pay for the console overpriced either, so I’m just going to have to wait. Which means, I’ll miss out on the ARMS test fire and I’ll have to keep staying away from any sort of news that might spoil Zelda!!
Jealous :(
Me too…
:(
Fun game! Motion controls worked fine, except I didn’t work fine with motion controls lol. Harder than I thought…. I didn’t win once -.-
I used the pro controller and I almost won every time. I ended with 77 points, which was more than anyone in my little lobby thing, the seconded highest scores were around 50 something.
Dang that’s crazy ! I thought I was a gamer a could play anything but ARMS w/motion stumped me :(. My ands naturally went horizontal when I punched so my arms were always punch in a curve lol. I’m gonna give the standard controller a shot on Saturdays test and hope I do better. Regardless it was a blast though ;)
Once I discovered you could use ZL and RL for the punches with the pro controller it was on like donkey kong 😁
They’re going to take quite some time to become adjusted to, I believe, at least in my case.
I didn’t win much either- I even had matches where I couldn’t hit my opponent at all (and one where the only damage I took was from one grab), and any team battles I had I felt like my teammate was carrying lol
Whatevs, I’m looking at this as extra practice.
Lol, I was the same way. It felt I couldn’t hit them and I could stop myself from getting hit. Everytime I tried blocking I got thrown… I’m gonna have to work on my reactions because ppl seemed to be reading everything I was doing lol. I’m gonna try the standard controller on Saturdays test punch but I’d like to improve with motion controls cuz I fell that how ARMS is meant to be played..
It’s good there’s other control options though just incase I don’t get the motion controls down.
It was awesome and the motion controls worked really well!…plus I dont understand how people don’t have a Switch, there’s a few in shops here, and a couple dozen second hand lol
Cuz people still saying Nintendo it’s a bad console, they don’t how to do videogames and the console is for kids.
