New IP: ARMS and 1-2 Switch announced

Nintendo revealed brand new IP at the Switch event this morning to showcase the motion abilites of the Joy-Con controllers.

ARMS is the first title, a unique multiplayer fighting sport that lets you trade blows using extendable arms, this game includes elements of both boxing and shooting games, plus an all-new cast of characters.

After customising a character with a variety of arms, the player holds one Joy-Con in each hand and throws left and right punches at the opponent. Characters can jump and dash, and players can bend their punches by twisting their hands as they swing. As players learn the game and improve their skills, they will discover a deeper level of advanced tactics.

Players can compete against the computer, against a friend on a split screen using a second set of Joy-Con (sold separately), against worldwide rivals online, or with two Nintendo Switch consoles over a local wireless connection. ARMS will be available this spring.

The other new IP is 1-2 Switch, a completely new kind of experience - This is the first Nintendo video game in which players compete in fun activities while staring into each other’s eyes instead of at the TV screen.

From Wild West gunslinging to copying each other’s dance moves, the games in 1-2-Switch make creative use of a broad variety of Nintendo Switch features to liven up parties.
