I received a download code for free from Nintendo for the upcoming Nintendo Switch game ARMS. It is being released on June 16, 2017 and is going to be a lot of fun for the whole family. My impressions of the game are completely my own.

Andrew and I played this game for the first time today. We played a bunch of times before we made the video so that we could both get a feel for how it works. Then we played a bunch more after the video, too. We tried all sorts of different play options. We played Volleyball, Hoops and many more. I even played online with whoever else was online and I liked that because I went through all sorts of combat modes to see how many options there are to play the game.

We had so many laughs playing the game. I can’t wait until the whole family can play together on teams. Once we are all together we’ll give it a go. One of my favorite play options is Hoops. It is hilarious when you slam dunk your opponent into the basketball hoop. Volleyball goes by too quickly, but that is probably because we didn’t volley. If the ball hits the ground it explodes.

I held my own when playing online. I actually beat the other players in the first three games and then I started getting beat. Here is Andrew kicking my butt while I try to talk about the game and play at the same time.

A Free Preview of Splatoon 2 on the Nintendo Switch – YES PLEASE!!

Well, I took my meager work bonus and set aside money to pre-order a Nintendo Switch. I’m not sure about affording many games yet but one we will definitely be getting will be Splatoon 2. I’m excited for the Free Preview weekend that is coming so that we can play the game before we buy it. You can read all about it below. But first check out the preview of the game from the Switch presentation. It looks awesome!
