NWR:
"Nearly identical to the similar bonus mode in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby Fighters Deluxe is a really fun 4-player fighting game. You can choose between a wide variety of Kirby’s copy abilities and fight against friends or the computer in neat, sometimes interactive stages. Unfortunately, it falls apart as a single-player experience and is limited to only local multiplayer. It’s a novel mode that while fun, might have been best left inside of Triple Deluxe."
Famitsu reveals that Kirby Fighters Deluxe has sold over 20,000 copies in Japan. The magazine doesn’t make this entirely clear, but it seems that 88 percent of the games sales came from the eShop directly. The other 12 percent account for download cards purchased at retailers.
Nintendo today revealed that two of the mini games which featured in Kirby’s Triple Deluxe on the Nintendo 3DS would be receiving upgraded re-releases exclusively for the 3DS eShop.
