Update (9/8): Added in English version of the video.
Original (9/7): The next ARMS update is coming very soon. During the middle of this month, Nintendo should be releasing version 3.0, which will add Lola Pop. The new character, her ARMS, and the new stage won’t be all though.
On the Japanese ARMS Twitter account, Nintendo reveals that ARMS 3.0 will introduce customizable controls. You’ll also be able to adjust the sensitivity of the motion controls.
Here’s a look:
Big news, fighting fans! #ARMS Ver. 3 will allow you to remap the controls to the buttons of your choice! How's that for flexibility? pic.twitter.com/GdcHe7Zu0j

The promised update for Overcooked: Special Edition is now live. Version 1.0.1 is out now.
Among other things, the team has improved the game’s frame rate on Switch. Other improvements have also been implemented.
A second patch is already in the works, and will further improve performance.
Read the full patch notes and message from Team17 below.
“Play, Doujin!” is a distribution platform for fangames that was launched three years ago as a collaboration between Sony and Touhou Project creator Zun. Now, the service is extending its support to include Switch games as well. As such, you can expect to see more indie games from Japan coming to the system, especially Touhou games since that was the initial focus of the “Play, Doujin!” project.
The first such game coming to the Switch will be the 3D shoot‘em up fighter Touhou Kobuto V, which was developed by Cubetype and is being published by NIS America. As you can see by NIS America’s involvement, the “Play, Doujin!” project on Switch won’t be limited to just Japan, but plans to bring some of its games to the West as well.
Sega is the latest company to reveal all the games it’s bringing to Tokyo Game Show this year. Other than some of Sega’s and Atlus’ own titles, such as Sonic Forces and Shin Megami Tensei: Deep Strange Journey, Sega is also hosting a bunch of “partner” games from other publishers at their booth, such as EA and Warner Bros. Here’s the full lineup (thanks to Gematsu for the translation):
The latest Pokken Tournament DX character trailer is here, and this one focuses on Machamp. See the Fighting type in action:
We’re nearing the end of the week, which means it’s time for another new weapon in Splatoon 2. The Custom Splattershot Jr. will be added to the game soon – it’ll be available tomorrow at midday in Japan and Australia, early in the morning in Europe and late at night tonight in North America. The stats of this weapon are exactly the same as those of the regular Splattershot Jr., but the Custom version comes with the Autobomb sub-weapon and the Ink Storm special weapon.
Koei Tecmo has published a new trailer (in Japanese) for Fire Emblem Warriors. The video show off all of the characters from Fire Emblem Awakening that have been revealed so far: Chrom, both male and female Robin, Lucina, Cordelia, Lissa and Frederick. Check it out:
The first Tempest Trial Mini is now available for players to start. The character reward for this trial seems to once again be Masked Marth. This trial will be based around the characters from the GBA Fire Emblem game. The event runs shorter than other trials and will last from September 9th to September 15th.
Another code is available for you to use to gain more Mega Stones, this time the Pokemon stones you can get are for Latias, Latios, Ampharos and Altaria. The code is DRACHE. It should be noted that all the codes for Mega Stones will stop functioning on October 31st.
