'''The ARMS Global Testpunch''' is a free online demo of ARMS that is scheduled to take place May 26 through June 4. It became available to download ever since the ARMS Direct on May 17th, 2017. Upon booting it up, the player will be taken to the demo's title screen, where they must press '''L'''+'''R''' to start. If the player attempts to start playing outside of one of the scheduled time slots, a communication error will occur and they will be returned to the title screen. Staying on the title screen without pressing anything will eventually play small attraction clips of gameplay. | '''The ARMS Global Testpunch''' is a free online demo of ARMS that is scheduled to take place May 26 through June 4.

==Limitations== | |||
As the Testpunch serves as a demo, several restrictions are placed on players compared to [[ARMS (game)|the full game]]. The primary restrictions are that: | |||
*Players cannot use [[Kid Cobra]], [[Twintelle]], or [[Byte & Barq]]. Curiously, these characters are shown in attraction clips, and the North American eShop page implies that they can be used. | |||
*The only usable playstyles are standard battles and [[V-Ball]]. | |||
*Neither local multiplayer, [[Grand Prix]], [[Get ARMS]], nor Ranked Online are available for usage. | |||
