Japanese Arms players rejoice, as Nintendo has unveiled the Arms Japan Grand Prix 2017, scheduled to take place in the autumn of this year, providing an esports platform for the new Switch game.

Qualifications for the final of the competition will take place in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka, and those who do well will battle it out to see who can be the biggest champion of them all. Aside from that we know very few details, so stay tuned for more on the competition if you're interested.

Do you think Arms can make for a good esport?
