ARMS releasing on June 16th alongside Neon Yellow Joy-Cons + Joy-Con AA Battery Pack

During today’s Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo shared some more details about its upcoming fighters: ARMS. Many of the details were previously shared via trailers a few weeks ago (click here for said details!), but we did get some new tidbits.

First, here’s the list of attribute each ARM has, and that activates when delivering a charge punch:

  • Fire
  • Ice
  • Electricity
  • Explosion
  • Stun
  • Blind
  • Wind

Each ARM has one special attribute, and can be customised. Since you can actually equip two types of ARMS, the possibilities are not quite endless, but there’s still a lot of possible variations.

As you progress through the game, and more specifically when you win fights, you earn in-game currency that can be used to play the ARM Getter. This is the name of a mode where you can try to win some new ARMS for your fighters.

During the presentation, it was revealed that ARMS would be playable with either 2 or players, in 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 battles (with the latter being considerably more chaotic than the former). A new playable character was also revealed: MinMin, a super-fast female fighter with ramen-arms.

 Here’s the ARMS segment from the Nintendo Direct presentation, along with some screenshots and the boxart:

On the same day, Nintendo will release some accessories:

  • Neon Yellow Joy-Con
  • Neon Yellow Joy-Con straps
  • Joy-Con AA Battery Pack

Now, you may be wondering what that “same day” mentioned above refers to exactly: it’s June 16th. Naturally, that date is for all regions: Europe, North America, and Japan. The Upcoming Releases page has been updated!
