Meet the creepy, spring-armed fighters of Nintendo's 'Arms'

It's a boing boing bash.

Why do these seemingly human (and one mummy) punch-masters have springs for arms??

There's a new trailer for Nintendo's bizarre, Switch-exclusive fighting game Arms that introduces the full cast of characters, in all their flailing, floppy-limbed glory. Do you think there's some kind of bone structure going on in there? Or were they all part of some Weapon X-ish human weapon program?

The game turns each Joy-Con controller into a grip that you tilt and swing to make your chosen inhuman monstrosity move and put the smackdown on other inhuman monstrosities. You can also see the weapons of Arms in another new trailer.

Look for Arms on Switch sometime in 2017.
