A refreshing take on the age-old fighting genre, Offers a ton of depth despite its casual appearance, Can be very difficult at times, which is a nice change for Nintendo
Difficulty might be too high for people looking to pick up and play, Motion controls are good, but have a steep learning curve, Would benefit from a little more content
At the end of it all, though, those are small gripes. I still think that most people who pick up ARMS will enjoy their time with it, and I hope people do buy it, if only because it means that Nintendo will be able to refine and improve this excellent form...

Fantastically deep and strategic fighting, Lots of customisation options, Well-balanced fighters, Sharp motion controls, Power ups change the flow of a match without ruining it, Robust online play, Sharp visuals that aim for 60FPS
Steep learning curve, Brief tutorial is too hands-off

ARMS is an exciting, offbeat Nintendo Switch game that takes the tournament fighter genre and gives it a Splatoon-like quirky twist...
Abstract: If you had told me a year ago that Nintendo would have made motion controls fashionable again with the Switch, I would have laughed. If you had gone on to say it would be doing so with a fighting game, I would have laughed even harder. Yet here we are in...

Solid and definitely has an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun. How we score: The Destructoid Reviews Guide...
Arms' clever take on boxing provides a simple premise with a startling amount of depth for those who would seek to master the stretching appendages. Its rapidly evolving lobby system had me sticking around for “just one more match.” There may not be a lot...

Abstract: What would happen if you stuck some boxing gloves on the end of some really long springs and used those as a character's arms in a video game brawler?That, in a nutshell, is the zany idea behind Arms for the Nintendo Switch. JC Rodrigo, manager of produc...
