ARMS update out now (version 5.4.1), patch notes
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo has started distribution of a small update for another Switch game, and we can now mention that ARMS players can download version 5.4.1.
The official patch notes mimic what we saw today with Splatoon 2, Super Mario Maker 2, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons (see here, here, and here respectively). Once again, Nintendo simply states that “several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.” Although we don’t have any other information, all of the games that were updated tonight were likely done so for the same reason.

Nintendo has been a bit update crazy with a few different Switch games tonight, and the pattern continues with Animal Crossing: New Horizons moving up to version 2.0.6.
If you’ve kept up with our posts about Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Maker 2 (here and here respectively), you probably know what to expect here. Nintendo says of today’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons update: “Several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.”
Super Mario Maker 2 update out now (version 3.0.2), patch notes

The 2019 Switch game Super Mario Maker 2 has been given a new version 3.0.2 update. All players can download it now.
Like the new update that just went out for Splatoon 2, the patch notes for Super Mario Maker 2 are keeping things simple. Nintendo only states: “Several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.” The fact that a couple of Nintendo’s older titles were updated at the same time suggests that something more is going on here, but the Big N doesn’t want to elaborate.

A new version 5.5.1 update has just gone live for Splatoon 2 – though it’s admittedly not very exciting. According to Nintendo’s patch notes, “several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.”
While it’s far from massive, it’s nonetheless the first update for Splatoon in over a year. The previous patch, version 5.5.0, included a ton of changes such as weapon adjustments. You can find more information about it here.
