Brawlout on the Nintendo Switch was quite the odd game at its time. In a time when brawlers were a rarity on the Nintendo Switch, the game had a good potential to build a good player base but due to progression issues and loot boxes the game quickly lost momentum. While the game was put in a better state in time for the Xbox One and the PS4, it seems that Brawlout Update 1.5 on Nintendo Switch is the time to make amends.
Brawlout Update 1.5 on Nintendo Switch – Give it a Round 2
The new update fixes a lot of balance issues, you can now buy stuff with in-game coins. characters are easier to unlock, Yooka-Laylee have been added, the addition of a party mode and plenty of other features being added in this release make it worth giving the game a second chance on the system. If you still need further incentive, the game is also only for $9.99 for a limited time.

If you own a Nintendo Switch and are itching for a good brawler to play if the appetite from Brawlhalla has still left you hungry, it seems like Brawlout is a great game to look into. The game does sound like it has turned over a new leaf but we will have to wait for some game play videos to surface to see how much the changes have improved the game.
This seems like a busy month for brawlers, considering Smash Bros. Ultimate is also releasing on December 7th. Once that releases, Brawlhalla and Brawlout are going to have a tough time competing against one of Nintendo’s greatest legacy IP’s.
