ARMS version 3 update will release with new character: Lola Pop

Nintendo has been proactive in updating ARMS, and just released more information at Gamescom following the teaser that was released earlier in the month.

Arriving soon to the game is a new character, named Lola Pop. She is a clown who is her own inflatable balloon animal. When she inflates, she can use the balloon for defensive options, as shown in the trailer.

While there is no actual date of release for the character yet — Nintendo says “soon” — she will be released with the version 3 update.

Maximilian shows off more Gamescom build Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite matches

As with the previous Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite footage Maximilian has uploaded from his time visiting Capcom at Gamescom, the video below features matches from the Gamescom build, but without any “new” characters shown at the event. That said, the video does showcase some characters who we haven’t seen much of in other videos. So anyone looking to see Arthur’s improved ground game, or Ryu’s grown man damage, should give the video below a watch.

With Gamescom now in swing, stay locked on to Shoryuken for more footage of the game.
