What fresh new wrist-based interactive entertainment can we expect to see when the Apple Watch launches next spring? How do you feel about arm wrestling? Flying Tiger Entertainment, so excited the press release subject was in all caps, seems quite pleased to announce the first game for the Apple Watch and Android smartwatches, iArm Wrestle Champs. If the name sounds familiar, you might be one of the dozen or so people to download the phone-gripping version already available for iPhoneand Android. What iArm Wrestle Champs does is transform your boring old arm wrestling into Y1 Games an over-the-top spectacle, complete with commentary. Here’s a video of the phone version being played by young men using Y1 com foul language.
