Kill La Kill The Game: IF Nintendo Switch Update Adds New DLC Character For Free

Kill la Kill the Game: IF has a new update on Nintendo Switch that brings a bevy of changes to the 3D brawler, including the introduction of fan-favorite Mako Mankanshoku. The patch also addresses various bugs, implements a bunch of balance adjustments and changes, and much more.

This new Kill la Kill patch first launched on PC and PlayStation 4 in November 2019. That update, version 1.05, features many of the same adjustments and tweaks as this newly-released Nintendo Switch update.

Kill la Kill: IF’s Switch update adds Mako to the game’s roster for free. The plucky high schooler uses her two-star Goku Uniform in battle, which allows her to power-up over the course of a match. She’s just as fearless in the game as she is in the anime. Check out Mako Mankanshoku’s character introduction trailer below.

We gave the game a 7/10 in our Kill la Kill the Game: IF review, saying, “Kill la Kill IF is clearly designed for fans of Kill la Kill who are looking for more ways to enjoy the characters, music, and battles of the anime series.”

Check below for a breakdown of Kill la Kill the Game: IF’s latest patch.
