Soon You'll Be Able To Customise Your Controls In ARMS

Good, should be an option in every fighting game.

I'm saying goodbye to guarding with the left joystick.

Hm.....

A long awaited feature... Well, maybe not that long. I'm going to remap guard and rush button.

Have you guys covered the Japanese ARMS Dashboard already include global ranking? Here it is: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/aabqa/dashboard/ranking/index.html?global-ranking

I don't really understand why mapping buttons isn't just a feature of the Switch in the first place. That removes the need of having this feature in every single game.

That's great, could someone remind the Mario Kart team that many of us played Super Mario Kart back in the day and would like to use B to accelerate and Y to brake?

Would be nice since I atruggle with guarding to be honest

Good to see options like this in games other than Smash.
...but having this as a standard is many generations overdue. Few (if any) games have an excuse to not do this. Mario Kart next please, so I can cram everything onto one side of the controller and drink with the free hand!

Wow didn't expect this. I've become accustomed to dodging rather than blocking due to the controls. This should give me some more options to mix it up. Good job

This means I'll actually be able to block while using the Pro Controller. Clicking the left stick is horrible.

This is great! My biggest issue with the game is that after a few games my left thumb is really hurting from guarding by holding the analogue stick

Finally!

This is phenomenal. Mapping block to a button while playing with motion controls will make for the perfect control setup.

Setting the right button to do the target switch will be absolutely useful

Does this apply to all control schemes? I'd like to hit with motion controls but move with the stick and guard with a button.

I'm not that fussed about the controls since I've gotten used to them, but customizable controls can never be a bad thing. This is going to be a fantastic update, what with this and a new fighter, new ARMS and a new arena. Can't wait!

Nice! More evidence of Nintendo listening. I might pick up this game soon.

I want to re-map guard to one of the face buttons, since I punch with the triggers!

Is this option only available on certain days, or.....

I will be prepared to re-map the guard button to SR/R

Great addition. But should be in the switch OS though to make it possible to remap buttons for all games. The jump button changing between Zelda and Splatoon drives me crazy.

@janfritz
Absolutely! I hate having to do that.

Wish this was an option for Zelda! After 80 hours with the game I still found the control system uncomfortable

Fantastic news! I've become very used to the controls so it might actually mess me up, but longer play sessions of guarding really take a toll on my wrist, leaving it kind of sore for the rest of the day. Guard can move to A/B since I punch with triggers, or maybe L since I activate special with R....maybe up on the dpad since that's unused entirely. Anything but holding that stick inward for hours!

Awesome! I don't really like clocking the left stick to block now, so I'll be definitely changing that. Also the button to change targets. That's pretty much uot of your range while trying to move.

@janfritz Exactly! Definitely going to remap that the first chance I get. I've been asking for this since the game was released.

Now, if they would only do something about party mode ... I'm tired of ending up as a spectator every other match when playing with a friend.

I like using the motion controls for punching, but I'll switch blocking and garbing to the trigger buttons so I can do them on commanded easily, Put my power move on the A Bottom so I'm not always hitting it when I jump, put grab there I hope I get lucky.

Awesome addition.

I would like this update for Splatoon 2 as well

All the button mapping in the world couldn't lift my game. I've gotta get back in the ring and get my head in the game!

i would buy Splatoon for southpaw controls

This is great news because I use the motion controls and I find blocking sometimes doesn't register, so hopefully I'll be able to map it to a button instead.

ABOUT TIME! Stupid grabbing with control stick button...

Yay I'll actually be able to reliably block now!

It's about time. Long overdue imo. Also what about the devs "knowing how the game should best be experienced"? I guess that mentality is largely in the Splatoon 2 because at least Arms is finally giving players options

@Octane Agreed, XB1 has this option.

@Grumblevolcano Yes, both Xbox One and PS4 have this option, hence my comment.

This is a nice addition. Granted I'm a motion control player, it would be nice to have guard assigned to a button. Also the analog stick to move but that's wishful thinking on my part.

And yet, I still can't reassign buttons on 3DS Virtual Console games? Come on, Nintendo.

Ive been waiting for this patch, when is it coming out? =( takes so long wish they had the consistent update such as splat. The buttons update are great and all but ive already gotten used to the current controls.
