Nintendo has dropped a new update on its arena-based fighting title ARMS. The new patch is already live and updates the cartoony brawler to Version 5.3.
The main purpose of the new update is to tweak the game’s roster for rebalancing purposes, but there have also been some dashboard updates and a selection of new artwork available in the gallery. Korean language support has also been integrated.
