Nintendo has said that it’s done updating ARMS with major new content, but it will continue to provide minor patches that balance the game and add in other quality of life features, along with continuing the popular Party Crashes. The latest of these updates has now gone live, and it surprisingly makes a number of notable changes.
The headlining feature of this is the addition of the “Dashboard” which shows information on the latest regional and worldwide rankings, data on the current Party Crash, and videos containing helpful tips for advanced fighting. In addition to this, there’s been several balancing tweaks made, too. Here’s the full list of patch notes:
· New “Dashboard” feature added.
· Check out the latest rankings, and tons of useful videos!
· From Dashboard you can see the following.
- Latest Worldwide & Regional Rankings
- Party Crash Ranking by time slot
- ARMS “Tips & Techniques” video collection
- “Fighter Focus” video collection with tips for each fighter
- “Tournament Clips” to so you can learn from the best
· 15 Images added to Gallery.
· Korean language is now supported.
· Adjusted abilities of some fighters and ARMS as follows.

Sounds like a good update. I like to play ARMS with friends and family so I don't get to play it too often.
"Korean language is now supported."
I guess ARMS is expanding its reach...OK I'll see myself out.
I still play for party crash and ranked every now and then. The game has a lot of depth if you get really into it
Keep On Going ARMS doing Great
If it didn't cost so much I would buy it for sure.
Wow !
I will update my ARMS after worktime.
@dunnyone what, the price of a decent meal out too much? This is an essential game as much as Odyssey and ABOTW is for the Switch.
Costs enough for 3 meals out in Cape Town. Prices are screwed up here.
take note game devs, this is an example of a company who has publicly stated that they will not update the game any more - - that was 3 large updates ago!
buy this game folks, enjoy the nintendo magic
is the dashboard just a link to the website they've had for a while?
A welcome addition! Although, I can't help but want more badges.
I never knew how much I wanted the Dashboard in ARMS until it actually came. This and the tips are going to be big for players, especially newcomers (now if only I could climb into the top 200...)
Beat Splatoon to it lmao. The Arms team have done a great job at adding features.
Bring PUBG to Switch Please
Because this is an online game, I suspect Nintendo sees this as an evergreen, or at least pseudo-evergreen title. Constant updates, even if just balancing, or error-correcting patches as needed, are a good way to keep the game a solid evergreen, especially if it has online.
Way to go, Nintendo!
