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.

ARMS graphic novel series seemingly cancelled
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Dark Horse announced a partnership with Nintendo a few years ago to produce a graphic novel series for ARMS. An introductory version was then released as part of Free Comic Book Day 2018. Dark Horse said last year that the series was still happening, but there hasn’t been any news since.
As many fans have speculated, it does indeed appear that the ARMS graphic novel series has been cancelled. The news comes from writer Ian Flynn, who was responsible for the preview that was made available for Free Comic Book Day. Flynn’s website specifically states that the original plans were scrapped.
Dark Horse hasn’t shared an official statement, but we have no reason to think that the ARMS graphic novel series is moving forward at this time. You can at least check out the introductory version from Free Comic Book Day, which is located here.

ARMS graphic novels still happening
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
Back in October 2017, it was announced that Dark Horse had teamed up with Nintendo to produce new graphic novels based on the Switch game ARMS. The only update we’ve had since then was in May 2018 when it was stated that the first release was pushed back to January 2019. It’s been radio silence since then. Because of that, many feared that the project was cancelled entirely.
Despite the lack of news, Dark Horse says that the ARMS graphic novels are still planned. The company just shared that little tidbit at Toy Fair 2020. Beyond that though, there’s no word on when we’ll finally see the first comic.
