« Nintendo teases new ARMS character with grainy footage »

The Switch's arena fighter will be getting a new character, but Nintendo isn't ready to reveal the competitor's full identity just yet.

Instead, the company is dropping hints about ARMS' newest addition. One hint first appeared courtesy of Nintendo Versus on Aug. 14 in the form of new sweets-themed stage coming to the title. Then on Aug. 16 a purposely grainy and muddled clip of the new character fighting on that stage appeared.

The new character seems strangely dressed and Nintendo commented that they have "unique clothes and arms... seems like their fighting style involves transforming their body!" 

For now it's hard to tell who or what the new character is, but posters on the ARMS Reddit seem convinced it's a clown. Nintendo, meanwhile, is staying tight-lipped about the new addition or when the character and new stage will be coming to ARMS.

Readers can check out the clip of the new pugilist in action below.

カイチョ～！ちかごろ評判になっているファイターを撮影してきましたよ！夏休みついでに！
…個性的な衣装とアームですね…。詳しくは判りませんでしたが、体を何らか変化させて戦うスタイルのようでした！
