After leaking yesterday, Kirby Fighters 2 is available now on Switch. Developed by HAL Laboratory, in this distinctly Smash Bros-looking game, players will battle across a range of stages, leveraging items and the environment to help them win.
Kirby vs. Kirby vs. Kirby vs. Kirby!
Another stealth-drop by Nintendo. Kirby Fighters 2 is a follow up to 3DS game, Kirby Fighters Deluxe. It's really a super-cute Super Smash Bros fighting game in a Kirby world.
Kirby Fighters 2 is not a first stealthly released game by Nintendo. No, they have a habit in the recent time doing this, as they have stealth dropped some big games on the Switch.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and Paper Mario: The Origami King were all leaked randomly on Twitter just before getting officially released on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
Tradition is a tradition, not to be broken, so here we are again, same story with new Kirby Fighters game.
