King of Fighters R-2 and Samurai Shodown! 2 (standalone release) are already available for Switch in Japan. For those in the west, fans will be happy to hear that the two titles will be launching tomorrow. They should be going live following the regular eShop update.
King of Fighters R-2 and Samurai Shodown! 2 are both from the Neo Geo Pocket Color era. They launched way back in 1999.
The latest issue of Weekly Jump has revealed another DLC character for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4. Killer is joining the roster, according to the magazine.
Killer should be a part of the next character pack this fall. A third unannounced character should also be included in the pack. We’ll be seeing another DLC pack this winter as well.
Fans may recall that Killer was included in an apparent datamine for the game, which gives credence to the leak. Other rumored characters can be found here.
