15 Hotly-Anticipated Nintendo Switch Games Coming In 2017
14. ARMS
An idea that only Nintendo could think of, ARMS will pit you against a series of A.I. opponents or your real-life friends with... elongated, spring-loaded boxing gloves.
Because, Nintendo.
Early reports of ARMS describe something with a deceptive level of skill, as not only are you attempting to duck and weave out the way of incoming attacks while landing your own, but the Switch's deft motion-tracking tech will pick up on any remote curvature of your hand during a strike, meaning you can 'angle' shots to catch your opponent as they move.
A potential successor to the mighty Punch-Out, ARMS is playing to the strengths of a motion-controlled system better than most.
