What happens when Nintendo lets their Mario Kart team stretch a little bit and reach for new ideas? Well, you get ARMS!

And of course the fandom has started to really let the fan art flow, specially after Min Min appeared in the last Direct and quickly positioned herself as the flavor of the month.

Since it has one of those hip "one word" brand names, if you search for arms you'll mostly get, well, the body parts, so it just makes sense to dedicate a space for us to share and follow. Here it comes!

And of course, crossovers!

There is more where that came from! Share your favorites x).

 

[RareFantasy64]

Artists blow my mind. I just can't draw

 

[Cerium]

Bookmarked.

 

[AquaWateria]

Jojo ARMS is amazing.

 

[lvl99 Pixel]

are body parts that stretch into ribbons etc a known phobia?
my brain cant interpret ribbon girls nose in that pic to be anything other than a finger D:

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

I have questions about the real world anatomy of these characters.

 

[CharminUltra]

Which game kickstarted this thread meme? Was it Splatoon?

Neways, some nice artwork there. M0ar Minmin plx!

 

[Dimitri LH]

Which game kickstarted this thread meme? Was it Splatoon?

Think so, if not then it was Overwatch.

 

[Dark Cloud]

lol at slinky.

 

[Crayolan]

This thread took longer to show up than I expected.

It was splatoon after the E3 reveal i believe.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

the first one crazy

 

[dhonk]

I have questions about the real world anatomy of these characters.

I did not want to think about these things but the fanart here has me also wondering D:

 

[Cerium]

I have questions about the real world anatomy of these characters.

It's some kind of special power only select individuals have. These individuals have weird swirly eyes.

The only "normal" human in the cast is Mechanica who fights in a mech.

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

Can the next fan art thread not have this style of title, I remember it from the Overwatch thread and a couple of others. English is a multifaceted language and there's many ways to say the same thing differently other than "game X is developing fan art following"...

That being said the fanart looks cool and I'm nit picky. Should be a cool thing to go back too

 

[Neoxon]

Think so, if not then it was Overwatch.

It was Splatoon, followed by Overwatch.

 

[Nanashrew]

This thread took longer to show up than I expected.

Yeah, I was expecting it days ago.

 

[Defect]

Nah, this is one of the "gaf meme" titles I actually like.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

Man I had zero interest in this game at E3, but it looks really cool sometimes and I'm in love with the character designs.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

I showed off the announcement trailer to someone a couple of months back, and they said it reminded them of Coil-Man from this old cartoon called The Impossibles. Specifically, they said the game is like that character is fighting himself.

That's what got me to have this crossover piece commissioned.

at E3?

My bad, haha, I meant the Switch reveal in January. Or March. It's late, forgive me.

 

[Neoxon]

I can't find JoJo-ARMS art......I CAN'T FIND JOJO-ARMS ART!!!!!

 

[Gleethor]

Are you from the future?

 

[Cerium]

Mechanica. An inspiration to all ordinary ass humans with normal biology.

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

The artist style is bomb digtty

 

[Eliseo]

FE, smash bros, splatoon, tokyo mirage and now ARMS and Nintendo still resuses to make a freaking anime/cartoon show sigh.

[Mushroomer25]

Do the fighters in ARMS have to have their arms amputated to compete, or are they just naturally born without them?

Is ARMS cyperpunk?

Still no JoJo-ARMS art that isn't already in the OP, but I did find these.

I'm pretty sure they're androids. Mechanica seems to be the only human fighter.

 

[Cerium]

I'm pretty sure they're androids. Mechanica seems to be the only human fighter.

I think it might be a natural superpower or mutation.

 

[Not]

Don't think I'll be able to handle the ones that turn other characters arms into springs

Unnerving for some reason

 

[-Mutsukki-]

Oh man oh boy. I wasn't hyped for this game but now I may be...

 

[Neoxon]

Man I had zero interest in this game at E3, but it looks really cool sometimes and I'm in love with the character designs.

I think you mean the Switch Presentation. ARMS was only announced this past January.

 

[TI82]

Jojo ARMS is amazing.

damn didn't even put two and two together before that pic, may have to get this game now...

 

[Mistle]

a lot of the quick 2D sketches sell me on the character designs more than the official 3D render art.

 

[lvl99 Pixel]

Yea arms comprised of noodles is definitely creepy to the point of not sure if I could play this game, and this is from someone who really likes Sylveons design. Unless theyre cyborgs or something.

Don't think I'll be able to handle the ones that turn other characters arms into springs

Unnerving for some reason

yep, its like ghost in the shell with peoples faces opening up. Or Parasyte (anime/manga)

 

[LegendX48]

Armless Spring-Man is kind of... bizarre looking

 

[TheProphet]

i really want to slurp Minmin's noodle hair. i hope the carpet matches the drapes

 

[Cerium]

The official art is amazing.

 

[-Mutsukki-]

The official art is amazing.

Oh hey these are pretty cool! But isn't this still 3D but with some touching up in Photoshop? I have this weird feeling that this wasn't really "drawn" (i love the effect though)

 

[CEJames]

Forget the arms. Lookit dem LEGS!!!

 

[Cerium]

Oh hey these are pretty cool! But isn't this still 3D but with some touching up in Photoshop? I have this weird feeling that this wasn't really "drawn" (i love the effect though)

Nah it's definitely drawn. Almost resembles the BOTW ink brush art in a way.

Monolith does a lot of art for other Nintendo studios, I wonder if they had a hand in this too.

 

[RedBoot]

This is gonna be even more prevalent than the Starfox Leg Amputee thing.

That's how it is in my head though. The question is, are they amputees getting a new lease on life? People who have volunteered to be modified for sport? Cyborgs manufactured by corporations? I need a 13 episode animated series to explore this.
