The next update for ARMS will make its way out to players next week, Nintendo has announced.
Specifics about the patch are mostly under wraps. However, we do know that balance adjustments will be implemented. The update will be pushed out in the middle of the week.
The most recent update for ARMS released about a month ago. It was rather significant, adding in Max Brass as a playable character, his ARMS and stage, the “Hedlok Scramble” mode, and more. Next week’s update may not be as big, but will still be worthwhile.

New TumbleSeed update includes Switch-exclusive 2-player Battle Mode
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The “4 Peaks Update” for TumbleSeed arrived on Switch today. There’s quite a bit here, including six new game modes, new persistent unlockable abilities, a weekly challenge, and more. On top of that, aeiowu added in an additional feature that we didn’t see coming.
Switch players can now try out an exclusive 2-player Battle Mode. aeiowu describes it as follows
It’s a 1 on 1 King of the Hill style competitive mode. Basically, stay in the “hill” (blue diamond in this pic) and accumulate points to win. You spawn with a new power after dying. Those are based on if you’re winning or losing. We’re having a lot of fun w/ it here at the office. Controls can be two joy-cons, a pro controller and a set of joy-cons or whatever you can dream up. It’s all local, on-the-go or docked.
Rounding out today’s TumbleSeed news is an imminent sale for the game. The discount isn’t actually live yet due to some sort of mixup, but when it is, you’ll be able to grab it for just $9.99.

Here’s a comparison:
Nicalis will continue updating Cave Story+ in the future. Among the additional features planned is a co-op mode in which you can play together with a friend.

LEGO Worlds’ physical release on Switch will also include Monsters DLC
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 12 Comments
The physical version of LEGO Worlds on Switch will offer two pieces of DLC. We previously heard about the Classic Space Pack. Today, Warner Bros. confirmed that “Monsters” is the other DLC.
Here are a few details:
The Monsters Pack adds Monster Town, a peculiar place full of scary quests, terrifying creatures, haunted houses and ghastly vehicles sure to send chills down players’ spines. In Monster Town, Halloween is celebrated every day! But delinquent zombies are taking their trick-or-treating a bit too seriously. Players must use their LEGO brick building skills to repair the damage and scare away the zombies with tricks of their own.
LEGO Worlds is due out for Switch on September 5 in North America and September 8 in Europe. The Monsters DLC will begin distribution in October along with other platforms. For the digital version of LEGO Worlds, the game will be priced a bit cheaper, but the DLC will be sold separately.
