ARMS Version 5.2 Update Is Now Live In-Game

Nintendo is chugging along with new ARMS updates, and the big version 5.2 update for the game is available now. This update brings the Party Crash mode Big Time ARMS, new fixes, and a variety of other content. If you’re still hanging on to Nintendo’s newest IP and waiting hopefully for what’s coming around the corner, check out the full patch notes below for the latest updates to the game in terms of fixes and additional content.

ARMS recently added some new DLC fighters as well as some additional updates in previous rounds of downloadable fixes, so hopefully there’s a new selection of heroes coming in future installments. The game still has a lot to offer players with its unique spin on the fighting game.

• The Party Crash mode “Big Time ARMS” can now be selected in regular battle as well, so you can try something a little different. Feel free to use it as a handicap!
  • Prior to battle, when selecting ARMS, you can toggle this on and off with the Y button.
  • This feature can be used in Versus – Fight.
  • Can’t be used in online battles.
• Added 15 new images to Gallery.
• Fixed issue where fighters with super armor would not have their ARMS disabled by electric attacks during a rush attack.
• Fixed issue where a noise would repeatedly play if communication was lost while Dr. Coyle had her extra ARMS out.
• Adjusted abilities of some fighters and ARMS as follows.
