Rumors had begun to circulate after an erroneous eShop results listing unveiled the game early—was a new Kirby game on the way? As it so happens, yes, and that game is Kirby Fighters 2! The title surprise-launched last Wednesday and is available now in the eShop.
From the new Wrestler Copy Ability to the beloved Bandana Waddle Dee, take a look at a few of the moves you can unleash in #KirbyFighters2 in our first episode of the Copy Compendium series!

The game has been getting compared quite a bit to Super Smash Bros. due to similarities in its UI as well as the look and feel of the gameplay itself. Players can choose between a multitude of fighters, including multiple different forms of Kirby and his requisite abilities. There are multiplayer modes, a dedicated story mode (which include co-op), and much more. If you need something to tide you over until the launch of Pikmin 3 Deluxe at the end of October, Kirby Fighters 2 might be a nice stopgap.
