Nintendo Switch’s Arms ‘Global Testpunch’ Play Times Revealed

Nin­ten­do’s upcom­ing fight­ing game Arms will be playable for short peri­od time. This will be more akin to a stress test rather than a prop­er demo.

The Glob­al Test­punch will be avail­able for two week­ends March 26–28th and June 2–4th. These days are also split into hour long chunks with the first day hav­ing a sin­gle hour, the sec­ond day hav­ing 3 hours, and the last day hav­ing 2 hours. The Test­punch demo can be pre-down­loaded now from the e‑shop and played the moment the Test­punch begins. 

The exact times for the Test­punch can be found on the offi­cial Arms web­site.
