It's like breathing, but more important.

Welcome to quite possibly the only ARMS (2017) Shrine on NeoCities idk I haven't checked

ARMS is a fighting game developed by Nintendo EPD and released for the original Nintendo Switch on June 16th, 2017. The game has sold ~2.72 million units worldwide as of December 2022. The lastest version of the game as of 2025 is Version 5.5.1 - which optimized the game for play on the Switch 2.

The game centers around 15 different playable fighters who all have extendable limbs, called ARMS, which can be equipped with 42 different boxing glove-like weapons, which are also called ARMS. ARMS Fighters equip their ARMS with ARMS to attack each other from the across the stage.

ARMS is a professional sport with its own league and it is also a medical condition 10-20% of the world's population has. People wake up one day and they just have extendable arms now. Some people also just have the condition from birth.

This page is dedicated various aspects of the ARMS franchise, including my own personal theories and headcanons.
