Good old ARMS, it's the game that keeps on giving and getting better with each free update. Update 5.2 launched last month and brought a whole host of improvements, including the excellent Party Crash mode, "Big Time ARMS."
Next up of course is version 5.3, which has just been announced by the Japanese Twitter account for ARMS and will be arriving tomorrow:
Here's the Google translation to make sense of this:
Suddenly ... It will be delivering Ver.5.3 tomorrow!
This time I got the materials from the ARMS Association Public Relations Office in advance! ... I got it ... that spilled coffee from the top ...
Well, you can barely read the word "useful content"!
We're really intrigued to see what improvements will be on offer, you can never have enough, "useful content," after all.
Let us know if you are looking forward to this incremental ARMS update tomorrow with a comment below.

Any ARMS stuff is good stuff.
@AlexOlney can't do anyone any 'arm can it?
Hmmmmm........useful..........doesn't matter what it is my sons will be excited to try it out
Internet H8rs: ARMS is dead!
Nintendo: releasing Ver. 5.3 Wait, what?
I'm really enjoying arms, it was a tad bare to begin with but like splatoon 1 you knew that when buying it, over the last few months it's got more refined and more like a finished product and a higher standard, plus unlike most fighters today your not getting charged through the nose for a extra character. On top regular in game events although not very competitive and more fun orientated , still a great addition, hopefully this new update will offer monthly competitive multiplayer or leagues and ranked games of sorts
"This is somewhat out of the blue, but... Ver 5.3 is due to release tomorrow!
This time we received advance briefing from the ARMS Association. Well, I say we received it, but... there's coffee spilled all over the top...
Hmm... Still, looking closely you can still just about make out the words "USEFUL CONTENT"!"
@onery I find your pun stretching the limits of good taste. It's rather disarming.
@AlexOlney definitely, it feels like how splatoon made me feel first time round and it's the only fighting game that has me hooked as of late , couldn't get into pokken so didn't bother double dipping, they changed it to much from tekken rather than sliding pokemon aspect into tekken mechanics they tried to hard to change everything and it didn't work for me, not saying it's a bad game at all just not what I was expecting, where as arms I had no idea what to expect it didn't have anything to live up to so to speak, it's just a good game especially for a new ip in a already busy space
What ?!
ARMS is such a great game...
I need to pick this game up
This game is a must have for every Nintendo Switch owner. 500hrs and counting!
Awesome local multiplayer game. We’re at over 120 hours
I can't wait for the sequel ARMS & LEGS which will include a totally dignity-preserving leg strap accessory that allows 4 Joy-Con controllers to be used by a single player.
I don't know why anybody who owns a Switch doesn't at the same time also own Arms...should be a law made or something. Critically acclaimed, now just needs commercially acclaimed.
Nintendo: And we are done supporting ARMs outside of some game updates.
ARMs team: how much wiggle room are we allowed in “game updates?”
I meant to get ARMS in the recent spring eShop sale but missed out. Am beginning to regret it
Hype!
It's a great game that really deserves attention. If you haven't tried it, I would strongly encourage checking it out.
@wazlon
I missed out on the Rocket League sale, I regret that. Arms is worth paying full price for. Do you have Rocket League?
@wazlon i did get it in the sale and it is actually a blast to play it.
Every time I think I’m ready to take a break from this game I get dragged right back in. It’s far-and-away one of my absolute favorite games on the system.
Please give us a paid DLC adventure mode like Splatoon 2.
@abbyhitter That would be awesome, but I don't think there's even a 0.1% chance for it. If they wanted to include something like that, that wouldn't simply be a "5.3 Update", plus it would probably cost money, and they would've advertised it more (like in Splatoon 2).
I'm kinda hoping for alternate costumes or something, but I don't know if those could be considered "useful".
Nice! I noticed it has been back in the bestsellers list on the NA eshop. Good to see more people checking it out.
@MH4 I'm honestly quite alarmed by your comments...
@MH4 Yeah. I don't really play ARMS that much anymore, but I'll be sure to check the update out.
I've got 3x the time in Arms as in Rocket League.
My personal opinion is that Arms is more fun, but clearly Rocket League is vastly more popular.
The first 10 hours of Arms is brutal, but after that it is a blast!
... And unlike Rocket League, the online match making in Arms is fantastic!
@onery lol
@nab1 What? Did I say something to hARM you? Don't coyle in fear, Spring back, Man! (Pun fight haha)
DEFINITELY one of my new favorite Nintendo IP's. I really hope that they bring background themes to the Switch soon so I can jam to the theme song constantly.
@cyrus_zuo Everything you just said was true.
more badges and more artwork to unlock along with the standard balance and bug fixes, just in time for this weekends event.
this game needs more love and happy to see it in the charts on the eshop after the recent test punch!
AHMZUH!
I need to play this again and take a break from rocket league
I'm glad these new content updates don't cost us an ARM and a leg.
New content surely won't do any arm!!
Bring PUBG to Switch Please
@Bengals76 I completely forgot Rocket League too. Time had flown by and before you know it the sale was over 😟
I did get a couple of games though.
