Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R Will Bring The Fight To Nintendo Switch

Yes, but will this be backwards compatible with the Nintendo Labo? I want to fight using my Fishing Rod.

I have a passing interest in the series and I felt burned on Xrd, didn't even finish the tutorial. Namely the way they treat Steam as a secondary platform to PS4 and instead of releasing balance patches they release a new version one has to pay for again... In this day and age such approach feels really out of place.

I don't know if this is the final version of XX, but if so, I may get it just to get some GulityGear on the go. It's not like I'm a competitive player anyway. I don't think this will work so well with the Joy Cons though, will it?

So far the best news of the day.

XX Accent Core Plus R

One hell of a subtitle there.

@SmaggTheSmug i believe it is the final version as this game is a port of an old game from 201213. Only thing bothering me is bad porting work.

Glad to see more fighting games coming to a platform as I was able to pair a couple of my MadCatz TvC Wii fightsticks to Switch using 8bitdo adapters.

dragonball fighterZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
COME ON PEOPLE!

hell yes. fave fighting series

@Shiryu but... but... COD Battle Royal?! D:D:

What the hell does Accent Core Plus R even mean for this title.

Guilty Gear director: ya, Idk if we could get this series on Switch

ASW Suits: oh, we're getting it on Switch, believe that

Not sure why there was any doubt the Switch could run this, but anyway looks like a decent fighter.

@Ardisan Unconfirmed rumour and very disappointing news if true, I would like the full package.

Just make a new name instead of bolting on extra words which make no sense.

I would love to play this on the big TV with friends! Sadly I can't do this with Switch the handheld.🙁

Now I’m torn between this and BlazBlue, a nice problem to have

Is this for real?

Give us Xrd, ArcSys. You've been milking XX for the better part of 15 years now, it's time to stop.

@Bunkerneath They're a lot like Capcom in that regard, with all their Super Ultra Turbo editions, except even more obtuse due to their naming conventions. But the games are good.

Guilty Gear Xrd started as -Sign- followed by new entry -Revelator- and then this got a Rev 2 update – a paid update. As someone who bought into -Sign- on Steam I was miffed that 6 months later it was rendered obsolete and I didn't buy any new GG title since then. If I was a competitive GG player I'd be very pissed.

Definitely sounds like a test to see if there is a guilty gear audience. low cost port from 2013

@MarcelRguez Lol, tell that to Capcom and the way they milk SF2.

@SmaggTheSmug Oh, believe me, I already do. At least they have a decent excuse for SFV's absence (if not IV). ArcSys just seems motivated to put a version of XX oneveything under the sun.

I hope for Xrd in the future as well, but since the Vita version apparently skipped Europe altogether (and I don't need to retell the Halloween tales of the fine print Vita's "region free" comes with, do I?), I'd definitely buying it. Last decade, Guilty Gear XX was the game that finally sold me on the fighting genre (with the side effect of leaving me to prefer 2D ones, even if my favourite fighting game is ironically a 3D arena fighter). High time to pay my dues.

YES! Thank you! My favorite fighting game series!

Awesome. Let's hope they make it an affordable price. Street Fighter on Switch was wildly overpriced for what it offered.

@patbacknitro18 If not, you can always break out the old Dreamcast and Soul Calibur.

The more fighting games the better!

Never thought that this series would ever come to the Nintendo switch I'm so hyped right now.

Absolutely brilliant news. I have it on Steam on my college laptop but seeing it coming to Switch makes it much better. Can't wait to hear more of that metal glory and test my fighting skills. Hope for a sound test to come alongside it.

@JaxonH I still can't think of any real reason Xrd "wouldn't fit on Switch." There's nothing about it that would prevent it from being on a handheld console except it potentially being built in Unreal Engine 3, but if that's the case then that verbiage is inaccurate.

@TheOpponent
I don't think fitting was the issue. I believe the director stated it was a power issue, and expressed doubts concerning whether Switch hardware was adequate, but did say they were "looking into it"

"Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R" - Holy cow! That is a mouthful of a title!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeees!

I'm with the people asking for Xrd.

Though I'm sure it'll be in the cards if this thing sells decently.

@Royalblues
Unreal Engine 4 is officially supported on Switch and comes with the middle ware tools. Several games already released on the system are UE4.

It's UE3 that has caused trouble for devs, as they have had to port the whole thing themselves, which isn't typically an option for the indies.

Need to be dirt cheap, like under £10 lol

Come home to logical sequel names like "[game title] II: The Revenge".

Come home. To Simple Rick's.

@NL: For games that have lived exclusively beyond the domain of Nintendo consoles, I'd love a sentence or two about the game in these types of good news articles. I guess its a fighting game with its core mechanic being ?!?!?

I stop playing Xenoverse 2 on the Switch because I kept getting hand cramps on handheld. If just going to play this with a Pro-controller at home better to get it on a console with higher fidelity.

Why not get Guilty Gear Xrd instead of a port for the PS2/Wii game?

Now, I know this is an old game...but Guilty Gear on Switch is a dream come true for me. Hope it sells well and we get Xrd eventually.

I believe it was Konami that said the capital letter R in Japan signifies a "rebirth or starting over of something." This could be a clue that all future GG games will be Switch-bound.

But there was a GBA Guilty Gear game!

Does his comment mean that Dragon Ball Fighter Z may not run on Switch?

YES! Will be getting Blazblue as well but always preferred GG! Brilliant news. 😄

YAAAAAAAASSSSSS! Ok gotta work on that stick design.

I might get it if it has online play and is dirt cheap

Hopefully this opens the doors for Xrd's release on the console in the future. I'll definitely be getting this day one.

Another XX game announced, not the one everyone is hoping for, though. xD

I LOVE Guilty Gear! Chuffed.

@NintendoFan4Lyf
Indeed, but let's remember that their tech guy is kind of a wizard.

@Royalblues
They might have already attempted it with less than satisfying results. We'll just have to see how many of the more heavy weight UE games arrive down the line.

That TITLE THO!

@kobashi100 Seems likely...

Me upon hearing this news:

Sorry BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle (and your lousy DLCs) but my money just made the Switch to Guilty Gear. I don't even care if it's an old port either, if this sell well we may eventually see the Xrd series for Switch too.

@CrissCross87 The GBA version was based on Guilty Gear X (cross), this one is based on Guilty Gear XX (double cross) and is the latest up to date version of that. There's also a Guilty Gear on Nintendo DS called Guilty Gear: Dust Striker which it too was also based on GGX but play like Super Smash Bros. The entry everyone wanted was Guilty Gear Xrd (third cross) which is already on its third upgrade version now I believe. What's more confusing is that Guilty Gear Xrd (final boss: Ramlethal) is the fourth entry in the series whereas Guilty Gear XX (final boss: I-No) is the third and Guilty Gear X (final boss: Dizzy) is the second, the original was just simply called Guilty Gear (final boss: Justice). Also notice that all final bosses in every Guilty Gear are female, probably the only fighting game series in history to have female final bosses throughout.

@retro_player_22
I was referring to the comment, "One of the goals for Guilty Gear is achieving high quality graphics." The GBA port is not something I would consider high quality graphics.

I'd much prefer the ultimate version of GGXX to a soon to be obsolete version of GGXrd, so this is good news to me.

JUST GIVE US FIGHTERZ AND XRD FOR GOD'S SAKE

@Royalblues Well look who's wrong? Dragon Ball FighterZ is coming to the Switch. I take it you never caught up to the news, haven't you?

@Royalblues lol

@Mew wait fck
