The game optionally takes advantage of the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers' built-in motion controls, allowing players to throw punches, block and move around the arena by flicking or tilting the controllers. Using traditional button controls with a Pro Controller, a single Joy-Con held sideways, the Switch in handheld mode or simply pressing buttons on the Joycons (no grip required, the game won’t detect if the Joycons are in the grip) is also an option. The game is playable locally by up to 4 players on one system, up to 8 players and systems per lobby in local wireless and up to 10 systems with 2 players each in an online lobby. The game includes online party and ranked battle modes and local wireless mode. | ||
