​

Are you ready to box to the top? This weekend, the ARMS Global Testpunch returns to Nintendo Switch and gives you the opportunity to bring a variety of opponents to the boards ... and all of that is free!

During the event, you can play against other players online. You fight each other with retractable arms. Fighters include Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara and more.

The fun starts on Saturday, March 31, at 6:00 am and ends on Tuesday, April 3, 5:59 pm. In between, you can play as much as you like. We wish you a lot of fun with "ARMS"!

Prepare yourself now so that you can start right at the beginning. All you need is a Nintendo Switch console, an Internet connection, a Nintendo account and the free ARMS Global Testpunch software from Nintendo eShop.

Bait for people to update

 

[Lodad]

Nice try, Nintendo. No way I'll update my switch for this load of bollocks.

 

[Hells Malice]

You should update your switches just because it's retarded not to. No benefit to keeping on lower firmware. The only notable switch exploit is the mod chip and that's claimed to be future proof.
Anywho

Nintendo is trying, really hard. It's almost commendable...but mostly just kinda sad. They really, really want Arms to be a thing. They should probably just focus on Splatoon since that at least has a playerbase and fanbase.

Dunno if I'll update since even 5.0.1 is cfw able

The only notable switch exploit? Sorry but nope, SciresM is developing a CFW with emuNAND for ALL firmwares with the bootrom bug. So the TX chip it's not the only exploit for the switch. And we still don't know anything from release date, price... anything.

Thankfully, ARMS is still playable on 4.1.0. Not updating.

 

[DarthDub]

Update, you dirty pirates! (I haven't updated beyond 4.1.0.)

 

[kumikochan]

Wow Nintendo finally learned to do it properly and is letting people play over a span of days instead of 1 hour a day like they did before. Took them long enough

 

[Bimmel]

Funny game for a short while. Try it out if you dare to update.

Arms has quite a fanbase actually... sure it's smaller, and more niche than Splatoon but it's still there, many people love the game: just because it's not for you doesn't mean it's not for anyone y'know (kinda like Sea of Thieves)?

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

You could have least mentioned the tournament like I did in my post.... It's also 30% on the eshop.

​

 

[SomeGamer]

Can't believe the stream is 30 fps.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

In case anyone wanted to know the results.

He "Resolved" his way to victory

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Seriously, he was a very solid Spring Man player and I respect that. Time to play global testpunch and beat some other people who only play this game during that same time.

I hope none of you who own the actual game is downloading it just to school us noobs.

 

[Ericthegreat]

If you update for this, you kind of don't deserve cfw.

 

[SomeGamer]

ARMS works here on 4.1.0, more than 200 hours in!

It's confirmed that cfw is coming out in the summer, and that it will be more complocompl to install on 5.x.x.

annoyingly, i kept getting paired up with people having like 30 times my points.
on a regular basis, 2x2 matches had me, a guy with 0 points and two people who just wiped the floor with us.

still nice to know that the game wouldn't be for me.
now just gotta wait for another splatoon global test
