Nintendo’s olijke vechtgame ARMS wordt nog altijd volop ondersteund. In augustus werd de clownachtige Lola Pop aan het roster toegevoegd, met versie 3.0 kregen we de mogelijkheid de besturing naar wens aan te passen en met patch 3.2 werden Badges toegevoegd, oftewel in-game achievements. In de trailer van deze update werd ons een eerste blik geboden op een nieuw personage dat nu aan ARMS is toegevoegd: Springtron.
Versie 4.1 brengt Springtron naar onze Nintendo Switches. Met deze figuur stapt Nintendo in de traditie van vechtspellen: in feite is Springtron niet een geheel nieuw personage, maar een robotversie van de groenharige Springman. Speel je armen vrij voor Springman? Dan kan ook Springtron die gebruiken.
De update is vanaf vandaag te downloaden en bevat – naast de introductie van Springtron – nieuwe badges, ondersteuning voor de Chinese taal en een aantal aanpassingen aan de balans. De patch notes zijn hieronder in hun volledigheid te lezen.
