With no hype, buildup, or formal announcement, Nintendo quietly released this sequel to the 2014 title on the Nintendo Switch eShop today 23 Sep 2020 for US $19.99. This follows its apparent "leak" just yesterday.




Wonder if HAL even worked on this, or if they just provided the Smash engine and licensed the intellectual property rights to a cheap 3rd party.

The game includes 17 of Kirby’s famous copy abilities, as well as introduces the brand new copy ability Wrestler. Other abilities include Sword, Cutter, Beam, Artist, Yo-yo and Water. Familiar faces from the franchise include Bandana Waddle Dee, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Gooey and Magolor, with each character, including Kirby himself, wielding a distinct fighting style for a total of 22 throughout the game. Rare hats can be collected through gameplay, with Special Rare hats (tm) being available if you played Kirby Star Allies, or Super Kirby Clash.
