Nicalis appeared today in the Twitch@E3 stream, and confirmed a new fighting title that's coming to Nintendo Switch along with other platforms such as PS4, PC and arcades. Co-developed with Studio Saizensen - Code of Princess and Sayonara UmiharaKawase / Yumi's Odd Odyssey - and features characters from the likes of Code of Princess and Cave Story.
It adopts sprite-styled visuals produced on 3D backgrounds, and is touted as blending the playability and accessibility of something like Smash Bros. with the depth of other fighters like Street Fighter. It'll have the usual batch of modes and, although footage is clearly in an early build, it look interesting (the NinEverything channel ripped the vid so we can re-watch on YouTube).
Do you like the look of this?

I'll be keeping my eye on this one.
The only fighting franchise I want on Switch is Dead or Alive.
Pretty please, Tecmo Koei?
I always get pissed when a game looks interesting but the gameplay video is clearly made with people playing who never touched a control in their lives making the game look poor. Like clearly one of the players has the absolute uperhand in the battles and all he does is spam the same moves like if the games has no others.
@sillygostly DoA Extreme Beach Volleyball with HD rumble...
Can we have the evil talking lunchbox from Cave Story playable??
@DonSerrot : Hell yes! But I'd prefer a main series game first. A port of Last Round, perhaps? I entertained the idea of getting the PC version, until I learned that it had become a microtransaction-ridden free-to-play disaster, with no option to outright purchase the full version of the game.
I haven't played Code of Princess, but I do love Cave Story. Curly's redesign is really well done. Can't wait to see what other characters they have in mind.
I'm not too big on fighting games, but this one got me interested (just for Kawase alone). I still need to hear more info on this, but I'll put this on my "Want" list for now.
Hopefully, this game will pave a new entry for some series represented. I mean, I would kill for another Umihara Kawase right now...
Looks rad
This looks like it might be decent. I really like the Cave Story and Code of Princess characters.
Looks dope. Day one buy for me.
Not a huge fighting fan but I love the look it's firmly on my watch list.
Hmmm, i guess i'll be interested if Quote ends up being a Secret Fighter to go with Curly.
Hmmm...looks cool but fighting games are about tight controls no matter you dress it up. We'll see.
...Sprite-styled? Must look very different in motion compared to just the screenshots, then. (I'm not able to watch videos at the moment, so I can't check)
Game looks great might give it a try
Dude, a Cave Story character? That's really cool. I'm curious to see the rest of the roster.
I loved Code of Princess! Day one buy for this game. Welp going to have to tote my HRAP everywhere...
Wow! This looks neat!
Got interested when I read Code of Princess.
Looks like a fun game, will keep an eye out for this one.
Looks interesting. I'll pick it up whenever I can get a Switch.
It looks gorgeous. If it plays half as well, I'm in!
AAALLLLLLL SORTS OF YES!! I was actually just thinkin' of Code of Princess this mornin' (loved that game...3ds answer to Guardian Heroes) and how it'd be cool for and HD port to come to the Switch...but THIS is MUCH BETTER!!! THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE PURCHASE FOR ME!!!
@Ryu_Niiyama Same here! I LOVED code of princess! It's one of my favorite beat em ups even if it's kinda flawed on the 3ds due to its poor framerate. I was kinda surprised to see those characters pop up in a new game.
Will be getting it day one. Hopefully more characters are added. A release date would be nice though. Give us Dynasty Warriors 8 and 9 on Switch Koei Tecmo!
This game looks exactly like Blade Arcus. I'll definitely keep my eye on this.
This looks fantastic, show me the pre-order link and im in.
I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure, especially since all three properties represented so far are ones that I've thoroughly enjoyed on my 3DS.
@sillygostly They totally should port DoA5: Final Round to Switch! They could even pull a TTT2 and give each character a new Nintendo-themed costume. (I wanna play as Kasumi wearing a Princess Peach bikini, darnit!)
That princess...she looks sweeeeet!
Alright, this looks great! I'm definitely keeping an eye on this game.
This looks really good. Loving what they've done with Curly. Please have Quote and Balrog as well. And how about Aban Hawkins from 1001 Spikes! That would be cool, right?!
This looks fun! I can't wait to get my hands on a fight stick!
Definitely looks interesting and fun.
Love how they say they converted to sprite the 3D models, they literally did the same approch of the old Mortal Kombat, but with 3D models instead then with real people XD
I know it's not the same thing but I posted a while ago about wanting a code of princess remake on Switch. This will do!
@Seanmyster6 : And Jann Lee in Tingle jocks?
This is the best new fighter I've see in ages. And I loved Code of Princess. I'm excited.
Meh another fighting game? What makes this different from the others that have recently or due to be released? Nothing thats correct. Different genre games are required in my opinion. Had some good news on fifa and skyrim just need some suprises to take the switch into next year. Can't see anything of any interest being announced by Ubisoft tonight that will be if great interest if anything at all.
Loved Cave Story and Code of Princess. This is a day-one purchase.
Curly looks freaking adorable! Day one purchase for me.
Looking awesome, also Code of Princess was one of my favorite game for 3DS so I'm definitely getting this.
Can't say I care much for how strangely aliased the character sprites look.
I'll keep my eyes on this one. Damn I'm blind!!!!
A fighting game for Nicalis franchises, welp Curly Brace has already sold me on it.
A crossover fighting game featuring Code of Princess, Yumi's Odd Odyssey and Cave Story? Will be keeping my eye on this one closely.
Love the artstyle. I'll probably buy it. Side-note: Would've been awesome if these animators did Ultra Street fighter II: The Final Challengers.
Kawase was on the ropes, but she did "bounced" back really well! (on the first round).
It moves too slow. Speed that bad boy up and you got me. Digging the art style
I don't know any of these characters(aside from Umihara Kawase,haven't played the games though) but I still really want this game because I'm a sucker for beat'em ups with 2D graphic.
Looks so good, very good character design.
But where is the gameplay? All these new fighters are all about effects unfortunately. Probably skipping this.
I want that graphics with good gameplay (Fatal Fury, Street Fighter, you know...).
And here I thought Code of Princess was a one-and-done. Looking forward to this! I'm hoping that a certain zombie-lady gets revealed for this soon...
I wonder if Captain Viridian and Isaac are going to be in the game.
Something about the animation seems off to me.
