1.1.0 My biggest complaint aboutArmswas a lack of things to do, and Nintendo seems to be rectifying that, albeit slightly, with its first patch. Update 1.1.0 adds in LAN play on top of “arena” mode, which is basically like a spectator-enabled gametype. This is separate from the “local” play option, which involves just tablets — LAN will deal with docked units, like traditional LAN modes for consoles.

But will it change anything? In case you missed the Internet last week:James Gunn got fired from makingGuardians of the Galaxy 3for making terrible jokes 10 years ago. Jokes he expressed regret over multiple times previously and were entirely publicly available when he madeGuardians 1and2. Jokes that were truly terrible and involved children, which obviously doesn’t reflect well on Disney’s family image. It’s easy to see why Disney would pull the trigger that fast, though the fact that the entire thing was kicked off by extreme right-wingers looking to punish Gunn is problematic at best....
