Update (6/26) 1:06PM PM ET – Change-log:



”LAN Play” support added. You can now battle against players via LAN. On the Top Menu, click and hold the Left Stick and then press L+R to switch between “Local” and “LAN Play.”

”Arena Mode” added. This mode focuses on serious 1-on-1 matches and can be played via “Friends,””Local,” or “LAN Play.” Up to 4 players can be in the arena, and players not currently fighting watch as spectators.

Fixed issue where Kid Cobra was able to repeatedly do a charge dash while riding snake boards.

Fixed issue where Barq would warp a great distance away after Byte & Barq perform a rush attack while on a snake board.

Fixed issue where ARMs such as the Chakram would pass through the purple light boxes in the Ribbon Ring stage.

Fixed issue where Biff referred to the “ARMS Grand Prix” as the “AMRS Grand Prix.”

Nintendo has released a new update for ARMS on Nintendo Switch, and is available for download now.

From our first impressions with the update, they’ve added a new menu, which now you have the option to choose between Party and Arena mode for local and online multiplayer.

In the Party Mode, just as before, you can fight a variety of stages and modes using customizable rules. Max 10 consoles per lobby.

In the Arena mode for those who are into playing competitively, it changes, for now, you take turns fighting one-on-one matches, while the rest spectate in the new spectator mode. Max 4 Players per lobby.
