== Gameplay ==
[[File:Arms title.png|450px|thumb|right|The ''ARMS'' title screen.]]
Each player controls one fighter from an over-the-shoulder third-person point of view. The game optionally takes advantage of the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers' built-in motion controls, allowing players to throw punches, block, and move around the arena by flicking or tilting the controllers. Using traditional button controls with a Pro Controller, Joy-Con Grip, a single Joy-Con held sideways, or the Switch in handheld mode is also an option. The game is playable locally by up to 4 players on one system, up to 8 players and systems per lobby in local wireless, and up to 10 systems with 2 players each in an online lobby. The game includes online party and ranked battle modes, and local wireless mode.

''ARMS'' received generally positive reviews. Critics praised its simple, straightforward gameplay and its creative twist on the fighting genre, but some criticism was directed at its lack of content on release and its learning curve.
 
In its first month alone, ARMS sold 1.18 million units globally<ref>Nintendo Co., Ltd. [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2017/170726e.pdf Nintendo Consolidated Financial Earnings Report], {{#dateformat:2017-07-26}}, retrieved {{#dateformat:2017-07-26}}</ref>.
