The original Kirby Fighters - a last Kirby standing fighting spin-off - first appeared as part of 3DS compilation Kirby Triple Deluxe, before being re-released with extra bits and pieces as a separate 3DS eShop download.

This listing has now been scrubbed offline, but not before the internet noticed (thanks Wario64, Siliconera). ORIGINAL STORY 23/9/20: Nintendo has never confirmed Kirby Fighters 2, but a listing for it has appeared on Nintendo's own website. Kirby Star Allies and Super Kirby Clash owners get a free in-game hat. It’s not a system selling minigame by any means, but it’s definitely worth revisiting, and will last you roughly an hour or so even if you never return to it.UPDATE 24/9/20: Following yesterday's listing, Nintendo has now released Kirby Fighters 2 on the Switch eShop, priced £17.99.Īlongside local and online brawler battles, there's a campaign mode where you can play with a friend or AI ally.ġ7 copy abilities and characters are included, including the returning Meta Knight and King Dedede.

While the first level is easy enough, the latter two can get particularly devious with more enemies dotting the landscape, and you’ll have to jump, backbeat, and dodge perfectly to the beat. Like most rhyhthm games it’s extremely easy to pick up, as the only controls are movement from left to right, and the A button - which bumps up Dedede right as he touches the ground, and allows him to “backbeat,” which essentially translates to clapping at the peak of a leap.Īs you can expect from the title Dedede is jumping from drum to drum, which creates the beat over the melody of three different songs, with a crescendo of difficulty.

Dedede’s Drum Dash is a perfect example of that, delivering a miniature rhythm experience within the confines of a game that’s otherwise platform-centric. So what about those extras? Like any Kirby game, Triple Deluxe is pretty packed with ancillary treats that will please fans long after the core story has its curtain call.
