Not only did we get to see a new ramen-noodle-styled fighter named Minmin. But most importantly, we have a release date. Arms will arrive on the Switch June 16. Take a look at the recent reveal below.

Minmin looks as interesting as the other fighters in this novel approach to boxing, especially with the ability to mix and match gloves and attacks. Announced alongside that news some new Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons to play to use with Arms when it arrives in June. We’ll add more as it develops.
