Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 to Hit the Nintendo Switch on 22nd September

Not a Dragon Ball fan but I might buy it at a later date (as it's too close to Pokken for my tastes). Or I'll just wait for Dragon Ball Fighters early next year instead since that one looks much better than this one.

At least there is more third party support and more to choose from for the switch so far than that of the beginning of the Wii u's life.
So much I don't think I can afford all that I want to get. xD

They said that they would bring Dragon Ball Fighter Z to switch if they had enough demand right? All the comments on the twitter post are begging for it.

This doesn't look bad, but I'll have to pass in favour of Pokkén.

It's been confirmed somewhere that the dlc for this has to be bought separately.

@Switch81tch I'm the same way. Wish I hadn't seen it now.

Doesn't Pokken also release the 22nd?

Day one, between this and WWE I will be happy till at least early next year.

I'll support this so they bring FighterZ.

Still hate Dragonball but I'm buying this for fighter support.

And yet, no 4 player split screen for Splatoon 2

YES! FighterZ next pls!

Sept is 11 months later, if it's full MSRP it should include the expansion pass DLC as the game will be $20 on PS4 and X1 by then, thus looking mis-priced. The X1 version is already $30 but I can't find the Switch version on Amazon.

But still, at least it's coming, coming is good.

Rayman, Binding of Isaac, Pokken Tournament, NBA 2k18, FIFA 18 and this all in one month, that is a crazy month.

Oh and if you want DB Fighterz on the Switch: https://www.change.org/p/release-dragon-ball-fighterz-for-nintendo-switch

Can't hurt.

@rjejr I agree with you, they need to load it up with value. I hate it when its a bad sell and then the developer craps in the community for not buying it.

Also, lets hope for a quality port.

@rjejr While I agree the DLC shpuld be included, it's hard to argue that it's 11 months late when the system has been out for less than half a year.

@rjejr I am pumped for this release and a buddy of mine who has already played the game on xb1 is gonna double dip on switch. The portability is too good an offer to pass up and this game for DBZ fans is a must have. I do agree that all DLC that has been released so far should be included but I still am fine with paying full price to have this game in switch.

Two reasons to double dip
1.Dragon Ball Fighters Z switch support
2.Portable Xenoverse 2, say what you want about it, but you never run out of things to do IMO, also I just like custom characters

Never did like the free roaming of dragonball z games up to this point. My first dragonball z game was a card game back on the Gameboy that was kinda fun. Dragon ball budokai for the gamecube was pretty fun for the time. Its clunky now. I will not be picking this version up and I am very interested on the performance of the game. FighterZ look extremely fun though if that makes the jump, day one for me.

I'm definitely in. Would love it if they threw in the DLC too, kinda like Disgaea

I'm in too

Finally another non 8bit third party game way to many on the switch

Kame....hame.........

Another gem in my list. Pickinf this one up.

"share your energy with me!"

"its over 9000!!!"

Now get to work on the Switch port of FighterZ. ;0

Day 1 purchase for me. Love Dragon Ball and I hope FighterZ comes to Switch.

@Indielink late

OK, you win, I added an "r", 11 months late"r" is accurate.

I haven't played and owned a Dragon Ball game since Budakai on Gamecube(which was actually the first game I played on the system stranglely enough) But I might pick this up. Do you need to have played the first Xenoverse to know what's going on?

@PuppyToucher There is enough game there to justify the $60, but if you shop for it and the game is $30 on other systems but $60 on Switch for the same content it's still going to look weird.

I will buy this once it hits the bargain bin. I always buy license games in the bargain bin.

Played a little bit of the first Xenoverse on PC when it came out and loved it - especially the fact you can make your own character and the story line is VERY nostalgic. Looking forward to this one

Better late than never I suppose. Should be a good addition to the Switch library, so hopefully the game does well.

@rjejr
It'll drop in due time. Other versions had their time in the $60 spotlight, and Switch version will need the same. But I'm not waiting. It's hard to say no to full Switch games because A GCU Discount already puts it at $47.99, and you get an entire HD handheld version included, so it always feels like $24 for the console version and $24 for the handheld version. To me anyways. Plus... it's just good form to support 3rd parties. It leads to further support down the road, of which everyone benefits.

But oh, you're gonna like this. BestBuy has $10 back in Reward Points for Mario Odyssey, FIFA 18 and NBA 2k18 for Switch, effectively making all of them $37.99/ea day one. Plus 5% back with BBCC. So more like $35 each, day one. Get it while it's good!

@Heavyarms55 No, the only reference to Xenoverse 1 Storywise in the PS4/XBO release was that your character in Xenoverse 1 would make some cameo appearances.

You're not missing anything storywise

I will absolutely buy it. I don't know much about it, but I hope I can play together with my girlfriend not just in vs mode.

It looks to be $49.99 here in the States.

Interesting thing is that Xenoverse 2 is only out on PS4, XB One and PC so its not based on PS3 version. So its seems that Switch can handle at least some PS4 ports no?

@JaxonH

Thanks for the heads up! Wondering if WWE 2k18 will also be part of that list.

@Jessica286

Same here, buying this for third party support and to get Dragonball Fighter Z.

Aw yeah.

Early adopters of this will get the story mode of Xeno 1 for free, if anyone didn't already know -

"gamers who purchase a copy before Oct. 3 will be able to unlock all 87 playable characters in the roster right off the bat. This includes "Dragon Ball Super" villain Goku Black, who was a preorder bonus in the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC versions of the game.

Like players in the other consoles and PC, Nintendo Switch users will have to shell extra in order to get characters introduced in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" through downloadable content (DLC) such as Hit, Zamasu and Vegito.

What sets this version of the game from the PC and console iterations is that it will also include the Time Patrol campaign from the original "Dragon Ball Xenoverse" game along with Demon God Demigra.

Bandai Namco did point out that some elements of the said story mode might be a bit different in the Nintendo Switch version although there were no details provided as to how."

@JaxonH If DBXV2 were $30 at release on Switch you could get it for $24 at BB or Amazon.

You take advantage of any Amazon deals or do you already own everything you want? Bought a $35 bluetooth speaker for $27 earlier but we get $10 back from Amazon so it's kinda $17, and I've had it in my cart for weeks. We're going fishing w/ my dad all day tomorrow so less shopping for me, and less NL comments which should make AntD happy, if we catch anything I'll post it on the twitter and CC ya, or tag ya, whatever.

@rjejr
Prime Day glitches ran rampant not 20 minutes ago. Had @SirJBizzle grab me Hey Pikmin for $22 and Mega Man Collection 2 for $6

@JaxonH Nice grab on Hey Pikmin. Both my kids backlogs are as out of control as mine so I think they're holding out for Switch before buying any more games. Rare Replay alone has like a years worth of games, well when you're playing Zelda U most of the time.

This game doesn't appeal to me because I am not a big Dragon Ball fan or fighting game fan. I will be grabbing the WWE game and Skyrim if its any consolation for supporting 3rd parties.

I am. I was a big Dragon Ball fan and enjoyed Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for the GameCube and Wii respectively. I have high hopes for this one.

And I'm hoping good sales from this one will inspire FighterZ to eventually making it to the Switch, even if it's FighterZ 2 down the line.

@Toadie So if this is accurate...then it is in essence a DBX bundle with the first and second games built in?

@rjejr Hard to be annoyed at the cheeky response when you put the smiley face there.

now that i've seen Fighter Z, Xenoverse looks awful and boring

@TheMadPolarBear Great to know. Thanks!

I like a lot of the ideas in Xenoverse 2, but it's far from perfect.I cant really see myself playing through it all over again, and i remember a source mentioning 30fps ehich is even more offputting

@SteveF Nah!

@Toadie @JaxonH I haven't checked those money back games cause it's usually not stuff I'm interested in but now I'm all excited and stuff. OH BABY. But yeah GCU is easily one of the best things to happen in the history of the world.

Toadie, so basically we're getting both games packaged on to one disc?

@Indielink @Highlar Yes, although its only the single player from the first game, multiplayer is just 2's content, i haven't played either of them so its great they're including it

@Toadie I mean, who needs the first games multiplayer when you have the new one? Having the first ones story mode is f**king awesome though.

Q) Are you planning to pick this up in September?

A) I actually went to GAME the other day to preorder this, but it wasn't available to do so. Now with a confirmed release date, I imagine I'll be able too.

I already own this game on the Xbox One, but wish to repurchase it for the motion controls (gosh, I loved their implementation), an possibly the 'Xenoverse 1 story in Xenoverse 2 engine' bonus that looks to be part of the Japan pre-order bonus. I hope the same applies here as well.

In any case, the fact that I'm willing to purchase this a 2nd time is an indicator of how much I enjoyed this game. A colossal step up in quality from the 1st entry, Xenoverse 2 was a lot of fun and kept me coming back time and time again. It's not the greatest Dragon Ball game but it has an addictive charm to it that makes me play it often.

Look to be a fun fighter, and since I don't have any of the Sony/Microsoft console, getting for the Switch seems like a good idea.

Hoping to see some of you online, if the comments are any indication.
