Round 2: After the first round of Testpunch sessions last weekend we’ve dusted ourselves down and are ready to battle all over again, are you?
It’s not been hard to make the link that ARMS is very much to Switch what Splatoon was to Wii U. A game that aims to disrupt its genre norms – in this case a fighting game with quirky controls – that also needs to win over fans as a new IP. Nintendo’s tactics with it are extremely familiar, too; we have a late Spring release, plenty of Nintendo Direct showcases to highlight the game, and timed online demo sessions to try it out. Splatoon 2, despite only being the second entry in its own series, arrives later almost as a senior figure, the grizzled veteran in comparison to the precocious and untested ARMS.
So, in the interest of being helpful below are the times for the upcoming festivities, with timezones meaning the dates vary a little depending upon where you are. Every session is scheduled to last about one hour.
