Nintendo is encouraging players to use motion controls playing arms. You won’t be restricted in using other options, however. For months we’ve known that it will be full possible to play with traditional button controls. This month’s issue of EDGE explains how it’s done, at least with a single Joy-Con.

The magazine writes this month:

“Punches can be thrown using the triggers, or two of the face buttons – jump and dash are mapped on to the other two. You click the left stick to guard. Everything you need is here, and it works – but something’s missing. Since the left stick controls the angle of your punches, you can’t move in one direction and punch in the other. You can’t strike at a different angle with your other hand until the first punch is fully extended, either.”

EDGE does say that “ARMS isn’t quite the same” without motion controls. Still, the option is there if you’re not keen on moving around.

Note that EDGE’s information appears to be based on using a single Joy-Con. It’s unclear how the controls change with two Joy-Con or a Switch Pro Controller.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

First up is the lovely piece of art attached above. Slightly less exciting is the very brief clip below, but is still worth giving a look in any case.

The Japanese ARMS Twitter account posted yet another update tonight. Two tweets were sent out: one relating to alternate costumes, and another for an ARM.

Nintendo’s first tweet confirms that all characters have four alternate colors / outfits. This was shown with Helix, pictured above.

We also have a look at another ARM (Geru Geru / Gel Gel) below. This is the same jelly-esque weapon first shown in Helix’s trailer last week.

The latest ARMS Twitter update highlights a neat little detail in the game: each fighter has their own set of supporters who appear in the crowds and dress up like them. In the image above, you can see fans dressed up as Min Min, Ribbon Girl and Ninjara.

One of the items supporters use to cheer on their favorite fighter are these inflatable sticks, which they’ll clap together:
