Nintendo announced another update for the Nintendo Switch title "Arms." The update is version 2.0 and includes the previously announced Max Brass. Along with the new playable character, major features are added in the game as well. The update includes a new set of Arms, new Hedlok Scramble versus mode, Sky Arena, and more.
