As you may have heard, ARMS is doing very well, having sold 1.1 million copies in just two weeks. For perspective, Street Fighter V only reached 1.7 million after 17 months, and that's with access to an install base of 60 million users.
Well, it looks like Nintendo plans to keep things going with more new characters than anticipated. It seems that we'll possibly get nine additional fighters — each presumably with a stage and set of three new arms (27 new arms) — in future free updates.
I'll copy/paste the findings from Reddit:
Names in brackets signify existing characters. "Twintale" confuses me, but "Hair" is finished and must therefore be Twintelle.
Belt (Max Brass)
Chain
Coil
DNA (Helix)
Hair (Twintelle)
Mee (Min Min)
Mummy (Mummy)
Ninja (Ninjara)
Plant
Police (Byte and Bark)
Ribbon (Ribbon Girl)
Robo
Scroll
Snake (Kid Cobra)
Spring (Spring Man)
Sumo
Surprise
Sweet
Twintale
Worker (Mechanica)
–––
Two other names:
BossHead (Hedlok)
RNA (Dummies)
More file names in the whole Param/Punch directory:

Back to me, Neiteio...
I think a new fighter may be right around the corner, since we'll be getting a new update, soon.
