ARMS Global Testpunch Thread: Let's see if this has LEGS

It is quarter past midnight, I am sick as shit, tired as hell, and yet staying up to play ARMS for an hour.

Nintendo have a hit on their hands.

Poor Kid Cobra being left out.
 
Played a couple rounds with my housemate. Went from 'this seems a little gimmicky' to 'your pre-order has been confirmed' in about an hour.

Edit: last weekend
 
It's soon 2am still tired from work but I don't have to work saturday like last test week when I had to skip the 1st punch. Will try to attend every 6 this weekend :D
 
Anyone from the UK with an order from Amazon?

Does your order say: "Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date."?

I'm wondering if they may have stock issues already? I preordered in January so it seems a bit odd. :/

I think it took me roughly two hours with the game to preorder. Stopped after the first half hour because I got mad at the Motion controls, then played the next testpunch in Handheld mode for an hour straight and was sold cause the controls actually worked flawlessly, still didn't know if I should get it but while playing my third testpunch on tv with traditional controls I was in awe as the characters finally punched and moved the way I wanted them to, that was also the round were I reached 104 points and it finally clicked with me :)

I'd order here if I were you, especially since you're from UK. I got Persona 5 one day early, even though I'm not from the UK.
 
Alright, 12 Minutes left, I guess I'll get to that starting screen already :D

Thanks buddy. I'll put an order in either here or the Shop of To. It does seem odd Amazon has this message on it :/

I can't speak for amazon.co.uk but I didn't have good experiences with preorders from my amazon, it doesn't seem to matter much when you pre order there, when it comes to shipping stuff, as I know that I had to wait 2 days while someone else that pre-ordered after me got the same game on launch day...

Today is the 'next testpunch'.

This is the last one til the game launches.

Tomorrow will be another 3 though ^^
 
Looks like I'm gonna be late. My little brother decided to be late to a graduation party today of all days for something & I have to take him.
 
Anyone have any idea how much data the game uses over an hour of playing? Debating trying to use my phone as a hotspot for my switch to connect to. Haven't had a chance to try the game out yet but am out of town for the weekend.
