We've got some unexpected excellent news as Arc System Works has revealed that Kill la Kill: The Game -IF-, its latest venture into the world of anime fighting games, is making the jump to the Nintendo Switch.

While there is still no confirmation that this will be released in the West, this news hopefully means we will not have to endure a nine month wait between Switch and other platforms, as was the case with their previous anime brawling effort Dragon Ball FighterZ.

The company also confirmed that baddies Nui Harime and Ragyō Kiryūin will join the playable roster of previously fan-favourite character reveals Ryūko, Satsuki, Sanageyama and Gamagoori. While there are no screenshots or gameplay videos of the Switch version as of yet, please take a peek at the latest PlayStation 4 build gameplay presented at the latest Evo.
