Earlier today, Epic Games and Nintendo announced that Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode is heading to Nintendo Switch.
The Switch version – we kid you not – is taking the form of Fortnite: Mushroom Kingdom Battle Royale. The game for the Switch will feature Nintendo characters and an all-new map based on Mario’s Mushroom Kingdom, bringing together the worlds of Fortnite and Nintendo. Switch players will experience a Fortnite experience built-from-the-ground-up for the platform. It’s almost too good to be true!

The game will feature Battle Royale’s classic 100-player multiplayer modes. The game is “Switch-enhanced”, meaning that in order to play the game, you’ll need to own 100 different Amiibo figures, in order to activate the classic 100 person Battle Royale mode. Time to dig out your Amiibo collection!
