Surprise! Kirby Fighters 2 is live on Switch now

The puffball is back and ready to mix it up once again in Kirby Fighters 2 on the Nintendo Switch. The game was leaked, then stealth-launched last night.

That’s a lotta Kirbys

So, if you don’t know what Kirby Fighters is, it’s basically a Smash Bros but with all Kirbys. The first sequel, appropriately enough called Kirby Fighters 2, offers more of what the original release stocked, but quite a bit of new stuff as well.

A total of 22 different fighters round out a roster that not only has a ton of different Kirby variants, but also series mainstays. King Dedede, Meta Knight and more are there. There’s also a brand new ability this time, with the wrestler power. That’s exactly what it sounds like, and transforms the pink blob into a luchador with the ability to throw his opponents around.

There are also multiple modes, including what sounds like a rudimentary story to play through, doubles action, and 4 player simultaneous play on one console. You can use 4 joy cons for that.

Here’s a look at the game in action:

Kirby Fighters 2 looks like it’ll be an exclusive to the Nintendo eShop, and is available right now.
