Additionally, the game will support multiplayer across both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms, offering cross-generational online play.
This enables friends to compete regardless of which version of the console they own. Perhaps the most noteworthy addition is the introduction of a new team battle mode, an exclusive feature for Nintendo Switch 2.
According to the official game website, players can assemble squads of three fighters from The Rumble Fish 2 roster and engage in survival-style matches.
This new gameplay mode, demonstrated in a recently released one-minute trailer, appears at the 48-second mark and aims to inject fresh strategic elements into the beloved title.
