ARMS Global Testpunch – “Warm-Up” practice mode can be played outside of event times with a trick
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The ARMS Global Testpunch demo is mostly nonfunctional outside of active hours. Yet Reddit user NefariousSquid discovered one way that you can continue playing the “Warm-Up” practice mode even when the servers are down.
Assuming you already have save data where you’ve progressed past the tutorial, simply follow these steps:
- On your Nintendo Switch, go to System Settings -> Internet -> Internet Settings -> [your network] -> Change Settings.
- Enable proxy settings, and change the server address to
1.1.1.1(or some other fake address). - Save, then open the ARMS Global Testpunch.
- Select Party Match, select a character, then go to Warm-Up.
After 2 minutes and 30 seconds, you’ll receive an error message. It’s fine though, since you can just go right back in and continue practicing.

Hoops is replacing V-Ball in the ARMS Global Testpunch next week
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 11 Comments
This week’s ARMS Global Testpunch has come to a close. However, it will be returning next week with another round of sessions. When it does come back, it’ll be bringing in something new.
During an ARMS Global Testpunch stream promoted by Nintendo, it was confirmed that Hoops will be replacing V-Ball. That does actually make sense. Hoops was specifically referenced in the demo’s eShop listing, so players were wondering why it wasn’t available this weekend. Now we have the answer.

ARMS displays a notification when maintenance is about to happen, can quit Grand Prix and return later
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 10 Comments
The ARMS Global Testpunch has been taking place over the course of various rounds throughout the weekend. There are a couple of things worth highlighting here as we didn’t know about them previously.
First, ARMS can display a system notification when maintenance is about to begin. You can see this in the left-hand corner both in the game and Switch’s home menu. It’s a neat and useful way to inform players when online play is going down for maintenance.
We also have news about Grand Prix. If you want to quit the mode but have already finished a few fights, it won’t be a problem. That’s because you can leave and then return later. It’ll certainly be helpful for those who don’t want to complete Grand Prix all at once.
