The next update for ARMS will be adding a new character. Additionally, new ARMS will be added as well. Nintendo has started teasing the content on Twitter.

Nintendo has not yet said when the next ARMS update is happening. Given the recent teases, hopefully it isn’t too far off.

Nintendo is finally starting to send out some extra Switch stock. Thanks to that, the system was the best-selling console in the United States last month. NPD has confirmed that Switch outsold the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One in July. The system is also contributing to a healthy gaming market in the United States.
NPD analyst Mat Piscatella says that hardware spending has increased by 20 percent compared to 2016 to $1.6 billion. “Performance of the Nintendo Switch continues to be the primary cause of the year-on-year gains,” Piscatella said.
