    Series fans will love getting to experience classic copy abilities to the fullest in a new setting, and fighting types will appreciate the variety and depth of the fast-paced Kirby combat — if you find yourself in either camp, Fighters Deluxe deserves a privileged place on your 3DS menu.

    Kirby Fighters Deluxe is a simple and charming brawler which lacks content on the long run.

    It is almost as addicting as Smash Bros. It may not be as challenging or have as many characters as Smash Bros. but definitely worth checking out.

    If you’re looking for something to take up ten minutes of your time and you’re having one of those days where nothing is going your way then hop aboard the Kirby Fighting Deluxe train. If you are looking for a fighting game where you can “smash” the opposition, then other games are available, although I’m not giving you any clues as to what they are.

    If you own a 3DS and somehow don't own either Smash or Kirby Triple Deluxe, Kirby Fighters Deluxe offers a passable platform-fighting game with an excellent sense of style.

    When four small mallowpuffs are jumbled together in the corner of one small screen, you get a Kirby fluster-cluck.

    The idea of creating a single Kirby game out of a minigame is laudable and Kirby Fighters Deluxe will be enjoyed mostly by those looking for quick, fun rounds of combat, whether singularly or up to four players. It doesn’t stretch much further, though, and it gets repetitive quickly enough.

It will definitely keep me hooked until Sakurai's next game, Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, comes out! It has multiple abilities you can choose from, ranging from swords, to cutters, and bombs. It is just a copy of Kirby Fighters from Kirby Triple Deluxe, but it does have some exclusive features, such as Team fights, more stages, and if you are just looking for something to keep you hooked till Smash Bros, this is definitely for you. And it's priced just right, at $7.00. I highly suggest you buy this game. Oh yeah, did I mention there's download play too?… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is overall pretty okay. It was my first 3DS game. it is $7 on the e shop. There isn't really much content to keep you hooked. There is a campaign, which pairs you with bots. In the end you fight King Dedede, which i didn't have much trouble with, even on hard. You can play with friends, but they need the game. It's pretty boring to play alone. It kept me entertained for about a half an hour, then i returned to Mario party.… Expand

I figured this wouldOriginally a minigame from the 3DS title Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby Fighters is now available as an eShop exclusive. I figured this would help curb my craving for 4-way brawlers until the release of Super Smash Bros. And sure enough, it did—for a few hours, which was how long it took to unlock all the extra hats for each of Kirby’s abilities (one of which looks like a jockstrap). Speaking of abilities, you only get a handful right off the bat, while 2 others can only be unlocked with StreetPass data from Triple Deluxe. With an option to purchase Triple Deluxe and no online multiplayer, this is basically a demo (and at $7, a rather expensive one) of the “full game" which, in turn, tries getting buyers to pay twice for the same sub-game.… Expand

It is worseI bought this game while I was waiting for Smash to come out. While it was decent back then I have since been unable to enjoy it. It is worse than Smash in every way. Less stages, Less weaponscharacters and bare bones gameplay are only a few of the problems I have with this game. Just don't download this if you have or are going to get Smash as it will become useless space on your SD card.… Expand
