ARMS might not have captured my imagination quite like Splatoon 2 did this summer, but the way Nintendo keep adding new content makes me want to dive in when I find some time to do so. Shown off at Nintendo World Championship over the weekend, ARMS Ver. 3.2 brings a new stage, badges and a new fighter that looks eerily familiar…
The Sparring Ring arena that you can dip into while waiting in the lobby to practice your air punching skills is going to be added as a straight up arena to fight in, while badges will track and unlock your various achievements in the game, letting you then have these as your in-game icon to show off to those you’re facing off against.
However, it’s new fighters that are always the most interesting addition to a fighting game, and how they can affect the balance or offer something new to explore. Entering the ring is a familiar looking figure, but with a distinctly robotic makeover. It’s Spring Man, but not quite as you know him.
