Arms releases for Nintendo Switch on June 16

Nintendo plans to go into the summer swinging.

The Japanese game company revealed during its Direct presentation today that its fighting game Arms will release on June 16 for the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo revealed Arms earlier in the year. It features characters with extendable arms (hence the name). Players can use the Switch’s motion-based Joy-Con controllers to fight, but they can also use traditional controls.
