The original Lethal League might not be well-known, but it was a unique take on the fighting genre - requiring you to smack a ball directly at your opponent's face until they could take no more. Nintendo purist will this time be able to join in on the four-player local and online action, with Team Reptile's announcement it is bringing the sequel, Lethal League Blaze, to the Switch in Spring 2019.
This second entry is rocking a cel-shaded aesthetic similar to the likes of Sega's Jet Set Radio series. It's no surprise, given the fact video game composer Hideki Naganuma - known for his work on Jet Set in the past and also his involvement with games like Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U - has contributed to the soundtrack.
Take a look at the trailer above and let us know in the comments if you're excited to play this high-speed ball fighting game.

That is some sick music... love it!
Oh Hell yes.
That was so weird in the best possible way
This looks like a more competitive version of Jet Set Radio, which is nothing but a good thing. Definitely interested.
That was Hideki Naganuma?! Yeah... it is a funky fresh beat!
I saw the first one on Steam but never investigated. This looks like it could be really fun, but the four player looks crowded.
Loving the Jet Set Radio influence. This game is oozing style. I think I'll pick this up.
HELL YEAH
Sorry, but to me this looks awful (Just my opinion)
I've got the first one on Steam (had to buy it since it's a Dutch game), but splitscreen multiplayer games are better suited on the Switch, so I'm happy the sequel is coming to that platform.
It's a really unique and good fighter, although it had some issues with balancing.
I've heard of this game before, and yeah, sounds like a perfect Joy Con game. Better than the pong-fighter one in any case.
Looks good, but that's because it looks like Jet Set Radio. Not too sure how I feel about blatently copying the whole artstyle of another game. Even the skating animation is a carbon copy.
When it's the other way around (bigger studios copying indie games) most people are not amused.
Hideki Naganuma is a boss though.
Looks fun, i may have to get this game.
The weirdbest (coined!) trailer. Ever!
the original is so much fun, I think I wanna get into it again
YES. YES. YESSSSssßSSJSAOHBDGAOUBS :ead::
Now some Virtual On Oratorio Tangram, please. Please.
First game is a gem!
Awesome to see some Dutch devs getting things on the Switch.
The first game is so much fun!!
Cannot wait for the sequel!
