Arms First DLC Character Will Be Here Next Week

The first DLC character for Nintendo's Arms is Max Brass, who will be made available in a free update next week. Nintendo made the announcement on Twitter earlier today, which included a video of the new character in action.

Max Brass has been the top fighter for years and has the ability to avoid flinching while taking attacks when his arms are charged up. The new character also has a similar power to Spring Man, in that both fighters' arms are permanently charged when their health reaches below 20 percent.

We reviewed Arms when it released on the Switch in early June, with reviewer Gavin Sheehan giving the game a 9, saying "ARMS is the perfect example of a Nintendo game as we have known them throughout the company's history. An oddball premise that makes zero sense but plays beautifully. No different than a plumber fighting turtles with hammers, or a pink marshmallow that inhales enemies, or a fox who commands other animals to fight star battles. To me, this is one of the best games Nintendo has produced in the past few years."

Which is some pretty glowing praise. And with the new DLC character being a free update for all players, your average Nintendo fan should be pretty psyched about this one.
