A new ARMS update was released tonight, and it is a big one. Lots of rebalancing was done, and Sparring Ring has gotten a lot more love. In fact, the tutorial stage can now be seen in Ranked Matches as a fully playable stage. There are loads of patch notes that Nintendo released with the update, so we’ve included the full list for you down below. Feel free to check it out.

Good to see the constant updates. I haven’t played since splatoon came out but I’ll get into it again eventually
Same here, I like the game a lot but Splatoon pretty much dominating my gaming time.. Keep wanting to get back into ARMs more seriously though.
I tried my best to play this game, but I just keep ‘switching’ it away all the time xD
Fist me <3
That sounds odd.. .. ?!
I forced myself to like ARMS and I just can’t, I don’t like fighters (smash Bros is the only one I like) and there’s not much to do after you do a fighter campaign which takes 15 mins… This could of been much more :( … Inline the style and look of it though
I like it, but online can be better, not just 1 vs 1. Ranked should be like in the testfire.
