One of the new features ARMS is adding with its big update this week are records. Nintendo now shares additional details as to how it works.
Each time ARMS receives a notable new update (version 3.0, 4.0., etc.), new records will be added. Each version will have its own page of records. Past records can always be revisited, but previous versions can’t be changed. So if you update your game to version 3.0 in the future, your records for version 2.0 will be set.
Here’s a look:

NBA Playgrounds received its long-awaited update on Switch today, which adds online play and more. Have a look at some footage of the patch below.
2nd Studio has been looking to fund its strategic brawler KnightOut on Fig. With over two weeks left in the campaign, the $15,000 goal has already been surpassed. The team is now turning its attention to stretch goals, including online multiplayer, an extended soundtrack, and “Death Match”.
KnightOut should be out on Switch later this year. A video and additional details about the project can be found below.
KnightOut will get you on the edge of the couch as you battle your best friend. How will you bring your soon to be ex friend to his knees? Use your strategic overview as you build your castle which defines half of the battlefield, a good defense is all you need, or master the sword and take him out in close combat. Only one can be jumping in the couch spilling his beverage in celebration. Will it be you?
Don’t got any friends? Don’t worry KnightOut is for everybody also the lone wolf. In arcade mode you defend your castle against waves of enemies alone or with your friend. Rise to the top of the leaderboards if you can master this mode.
A new update is now available for download on 3DS. Nintendo just issued version 11.5.0-38.
As for what the update entails, it’s keeping in line with past firmware releases. Nintendo says, “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”. That’s all for now.
Footage has emerged showing the English version of Culdcept Revolt. Around seven minutes of off-screen gameplay can be found below.
It’s always interesting to see when related games are connected, and in Splatoon 2, Nintendo has gone out of its way to make sure that the original ties back into the sequel. It’s something that some players may never notice, but you can actually see Inkopolis Tower from the original Splatoon in Splatoon 2. It’s a very nice Easter egg indeed.

Bit Dungeon+ makes the transition from Wii U to 3DS this week. On Thursday, the title arrives on the North American 3DS eShop. It takes up 904 blocks of space, or 113MB.
Nintendo World Report has shared some new direct-feed footage of Shakedown: Hawaii based on the PC build. View the gameplay below.
Kamiko’s sales have surpassed 110,000 units, according to Circle Entertainment co-founder and CEO Chris Chau.
48 percent of the Switch game’s sales were from America. Europe and Australia is next at 27 percent, followed by Japan at 25 percent. Kamiko has been on sale for roughly three months in Japan and 2.5 months elsewhere. While the US is the biggest market so far, “the Eastern market still has a lot of users we can’t ignore.”
Chau told Nintendo Life:
“We are usually thinking about why some local titles perform better than Western titles in Japan, and we think most of the reasoning comes back to game pricing, localization and local PR. Of course it’s case by case, but regardless I think the Eastern market deserves attention from developers. Also we know many Chinese gamers may purchase a Switch from Hong Kong, so we’ve suggested to the developers that they should consider a Chinese language pack.”
Skipmore, who developed the game, is now working on Picontier. It’s targeted for release this year.
