Switch punch-up still fighting fit
Nintendo has dropped a new update on its arena-based fighting title ARMS. The new patch is already live and updates the cartoony brawler to Version 5.3.
The main purpose of the new update is to tweak the game's roster for rebalancing purposes, but there have also been some dashboard updates and a selection of new artwork available in the gallery. Korean language support has also been integrated.
Despite Nintendo's comments that made it sound like they were all but abandoning the title. It's good to see that they game is still being maintained, so fans can continue to enjoy its trademark brand of madcap mayhem.
