It wouldn't be April Fools without a few surprises, and thankfully, Landfall Games isn't about to trick us here. Physics-based fighter Stick Fight: The Game is getting a surprise launch today on Nintendo Switch.
Previously released on PC, Mac and mobiles in 2017, this one is strictly a co-op experience, allowing for 2-4 players between local and online multiplayer. It's one of Landfall's earlier projects – you might better know it for Totally Accurate Battle Simulator – and Stick Fight's Switch release is a straight port.
At the time of writing, an eShop page wasn't live, so we don't have pricing details, but Landfall Games has previously offered this outline on the Steam page:
Stick Fight is a physics-based couch/online fighting game where you battle it out as the iconic stick figures from the golden age of the internet. Fight it out against your friends or find random sticks from around the world!
* 2 to 4 PLAYERS in either Local or Online Multiplayer (NO SINGLE PLAYER MODE)
* Physics-Based Combat System
* 100 Highly Interactive Levels
* Level editor
* Over 23,000 community made levels
* Lots of weapons!
* Procedural Animations using the system from Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
It's worth noting Landfall has a history with April Fools releases, so Stick Fight: The Game's timing is no coincidence here. It wasn't widely reviewed previously, but – out of 57,000 user reviews – holds a "very positive" rating on Steam, so that certainly bodes well.

Looks like something I could have a blast playing with my kids. I hope you can play with random players online as well (not just friends).
Well, I need it. Plenty of multiplayer fun to be had.
One of out favorite multiplayers!
@DropDash You won't regret it.
Note: always give new players a practice round
@sketchturner
Im hoping you can play with randoms, looks like a blast. As much fun as I would have playing this with my kids, I would want that too.
I think it'll be around £5.39
Finally! A worthy successor to all those flash games on Newgrounds circa early 2000's
I love this game. It's incredibly janky at times, but that's half the fun.
This game is great! I never figured it'd come to switch though! I may just have to buy it again, if only for easier local multiplayer. This is also my favorite multiplayer focused game that I've played. More than worth the five or six dollars for entry.
Where can the level editor be found?
@CactusSwitch i dont think it has one on switch
One of my favorite multiplayer games! Depending on the cost, I may have to double dip like I did with screencheat. Bought both of them on steam to play locally, but I have a lot more controllers for switch, letting a lot more people play
A game listed in the eShop Coming Soon section with a release date of today releasing today isn't much of a surprise now, is it?
No your lying Have been waiting for this to come to the switch!
No single-player, no buy.
@Gavintendo Word, I was just gonna say, I've seen this game listed on Nintendo's own website for weeks!
It's fighting game. There's nothing "co-op" about it! 😂
Also, this was playable on Switch at GamesCon 2018. Hardly a "surprise" that it eventually would get released...
