News "Street Fighter With Pillows"? This Family-Friendly Fighter Swings Onto Switch Next Year
Pillow the belt
The Switch isn't short of fighting games; if you want to duke it out as adorable animals, heroes in a half shell or beloved Nintendo characters, the console has got you covered. But what if you wanted something a little softer? Something that has all the hallmarks of your favourite fighting games, but without the intense violence...
About The Game
Pillow Champ calls back to classics like Street Fighter II with punchy 2.5D action, a range of game modes, and an irreverent, fluffy setting. Enter the Pillow Champ tournament, a series of events and challenges that have altered society. Unravel the mystery of the Pillow Knights, a secret society seeking to drag pillow fighting back into the dark. Clean a car using only acrobatic pillow attacks, as our ancestors always intended.
With a narrative penned by Xalavier Nelson Jr. (of El Paso, Elsewhere), Pillow Champ seeks to deconstruct the fighting video game genre. Replacing a blade with a pillow, blood with feathers, suffering with pleasure, and grunts with laughter, this isn't the same fighting game you grew up with.
But it kind-of-sort-of-is, too.
Pillow Champ includes a distinct set of characters and locations. A South Asian grandmother, a non-binary nurse, a campground in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Each character’s movement is informed by a specific cultural touchstone. From old time strongman routines to classic Bollywood movies to Muay Thai to Kendo and everything between. Poetry in motion at your fingertips.
