Switch eShop listing says you’ll be able to try out all ten fighters in ARMS Global Testpunch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 14 Comments
What we’ve heard within the past few days indicated that the ARMS Global Testpunch will include seven playable characters. Everyone aside from Kid Cobra, Byte & Barq, and Twintelle were thought to be available. Based on fresh information though, these fighters might be in after all.
Have a look at this listing from the eShop:
The listing clearly states that all ten fighters will be in ARMS Global Testpunch. It also highlights the inclusion of local multiplayer, Hoops mode, and connecting online for exhibition matches.
We should note that this eShop listing isn’t official confirmation. We’ll try to get a response from Nintendo, but we should have a definitive answer soon as ARMS Global Testpunch begins in less than a week.

ARMS disables usage of Home button when playing online with thumbs-up grip
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 8 Comments
Nintendo is recommending that players use motion controls with ARMS, but the final game will include various options. One setup involves the thumbs-up grip.
For those who end up using this option, Nintendo disables the usage of the Home button when playing online. It won’t work while in matches, lobbies, and other online menus. By doing so, it ensures that you won’t accidentally quit a match.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
