The ARMS Global Testpunch is up and running once again. Switch owners can try out the game before launch with online battles. Nintendo has added in some new content this time around by changing up a couple of the modes, adding a new stage, and making Twintelle available.
For the full listing of times, head past the break. Note that each session lasts for an hour.
Just ahead of ARMS’ launch, Game Informer spoke with producer Kosuke Yabuki and art director Masaaki Ishikawa. The two developers tackled various subjects.
