It has been some time since the release of the latest game starring the iconic Kirby, and Nintendo must have thought the time was right for a surprise launch that will make all fans of the series happy.

Kirby Fighters 2 has been launched on Nintendo Switch worldwide a few hours ago. The game is the sequel to the original Kirby Fighters, and it includes new copy abilities for Kirby, including a new Wrestler ability and more.

Kirby Fighters 2 comes complete with a Story Mode, where players can pair up with friends or with the CPU to defeat King Dedede and Meta Knight, as well as with a multiplayer mode that can be enjoyed locally and online. The multiple match types offer a good level of variety, giving players the ability to customize rules and activate a couple of other options that possibly make playing with friends even better.
