Arms’ first DLC character is Max Brass, the boss in the game’s single-player campaign. Downloading him will be free. The game is also adding a “Spectator Mode.”

Nintendo will hold free “Global Testpunch” online beta tests for its motion-controlled Switch brawler Arms, it said during today’s Nintendo Direct. You’ll be able to play a selection of characters and modes during the weekends of May 26-28 and June 2-4.

The Switch’s fighting game, Arms, will drop June 16th, as are yellow Joy-Con. Arms is a boxing game with some colorful characters—you’ll be able to equip both your arms with elemental powers. Cool to see a game take their core concept and run with it, even if that concept is “arms.”
