Perfect timing, with an ARMS character coming to Smash & the free trial for Switch Online subscribers being a thing. I guess Nintendo's really serious about bringing ARMS back to the spotlight.

I wonder if they will do a big update for the game. I really liked Arms and I hope it gets a sequel eventually, but IMO it shouldn't be until next console. A massive update for the game, even if it's DLC with a new $60 "Deluxe Edition" retail release I'd probably pick it up again.
Interesting, its coming at the tail end of the free trial.
Also clearly they're using this to decide the default Smash skin /s

Hopefully they put Min Min and Twintelle in separate brackets this time so they don't meet until the finals. We don't need a Colorado-Detroit situation where the two best teams would face each other before the end.
I'm so glad these are back. I used to keep up with every single one of these but tailed off a bit with the final brackets in 2019, as I just couldn't find the time (even though it would only take an hour of play to get the special event badges for level 10 or 15).
For those new to the game or building the full collection, not only does Party Crash keep the online multiplayer fresh in a way that encourages you to experiment with the whole mix-and-match element of the Arms loadouts, but it generates in-game cash very quickly. I completed my collection in no time at all once these events first started up. It's not quite as lean and pure as 1v1 ranked (which I think has dwindled to a low level of activity), but it has significantly greater variety than the standard online lobbies when Party Crash isn't active.
Maybe they'll finally release that indefinitely held Dark Horse comic book while they're rebuilding the IP's profile again.

ARMS remains on of my favorite Switch games so seeing it get a little more attention is awesome.
They better make a sequel with an actual story mode, though...

For anyone playing, these hold exclusive items. If you don't have these you can't get 100% completion.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they were waiting for this to release the graphic novel. Seeing as they're going for a full ARMS resurgence, releasing the graphic novel now would be perfect timing.
Just started to jump back into this game daily since the Direct reminded me how much I love it. I used to really dig the Party Crashes a while back, and I'm so excited they're returning to them with the one :D
No I think they're pushing it because they're adding a character to Smash

Mind if I ask who your main is (mine is obvious, though Dr. Coyle is my secondary)?

I mostly just really like his aesthetic and the chain-arm look haha

Fair enough. In my case, it's rare to find an interesting black character in games, especially in Nintendo games. Not to mention that she's fun to play. Dr. Coyle is mainly the last part, though it's nice to have another female villain in Nintendo's pantheon of villains. I even have an ARMS tag from a dedicated Discord.
I found myself gravitating towards motion controls since I can better aim my ARMS. Before now, I used either a Pro Controller or a GameCube controller.
