Japanese Job Listings Suggest A New 3D Fighter Is In Development For Switch

My money is on Battle Arena Toshiden or Tobal No. 1
I'm not very good at this gambling thing.

Wouldn’t “licensed” suggest a known non-video game brand, such as Dragon Ball? Or Ninja Turtles? Or something along those lines?

I would like to see an HD 3D Cartoonish Chibi Boxing / Kickboxing games with gameplay like K-1 + Street Fighter (Groove Meter) & Whimsical as MySims / Animal Boxing.
In other words, somewhat Silly as Pocket Fighter.
Fighting games doesn't always have to be Serious, right ?

If I was a betting man I would say Bandai-Namco. As for the game... anything anime related is kosher.

PS: Wait, Bamco uses Unreal Engine... hmmm, now I'm truly puzzled.

There is a rumor about a new Marvel vs Capcom Infinite game that will be called "Uncanny Edition" and it will be revealed at the Evo this year (in August) for release next year.
Maybe Capcom is looking for staff to help to develop this "update" ?

It would be great to have a MvC game on the Switch.
If the rumor is correct, the game will include Xmen fighters plus some more from the Capcom's side.

The sub heading made me think Tekken but they use UE4...I would still like Tekken in some form though

DOA had it's own 3DS version before it was popular and Tekken was on 3DS and even Wii U, hopefully one of them make a Switch game!

@Kimyonaakuma
I would like to see K-1 World GP return on Nintendo Switch.
HD Kickboxing are Very RARE games.
I can Die in happiness if K-1 return on HD Rendering, Still have Career Mode (Fighter customize) & Able to use Character creations as playable character in Vs Mode.

Would love to see a new rival schools,bloody roar or tech romancer on the system but can’t see any of them appearing again

Maybe Jump Force?

I wish it was DOA 6 though.

So if the switch is amassing a library of fighting games then the other platforms have already ammased it?

we need more "traditional" 3D fighting games on Switch. Im not against Smash Bros, but for me Tekken, Virtua Fighter or Dead or Alive is much more appealing.

If we're just fantasising, I'd love an HD remaster of Soul Caliber 2, which featured Link, hence the Nintendo tie-in.

I would probably buy a DOA though, or any other competent 3D fighter, assuming they didn't make a mess of the Switch port.

If they could put DOA on Vita and 3DS they can surely put it on Switch. I mean DOA4 on 360 still looks amazing and Switch could easily handle that

Hmmm what 3d fighters are currently in the works. Know of doa5 and soul caliber . Are their any others

I want Soul Caliber... it’s the only 3D fighter that really grew on me. I’m more of a 2D fighter kind of guy.

Never been a fan of Tekken or DOA, but I wouldn’t say no to any of those either.

I saw the list on gematsu this morning. I would have been happier if the Switch got the Action robot game or sRPG on the list.

As long as it is new. Not another rehash with PS2 graphics.

I would kill for Dead or Alive.

I don't care if it's a port or a new game. Just gimme, gimme, gimme!!!

A port of Last Round (plus any stray DLC) would be amazing. I almost bought a PS3 just to play DOA5.

It infuriates me that Tecmo keeps pumping out Warriors, after Warriors, after stinkin' Warriors (there are at least SIX available on Switch already with Orochi 4 on the way) and yet we still don't have Dead or Alive anything on Switch.

Please let this be King of Fighters!
But aren't they located in Osaka? hmm

Please let it be Soul Calibur!

Ahhh, 3D Fighting Action Game. I think it isn't a fighting game like DOA and more like Kill la Kill or Jump whatever, a 3D Battle Arena Fighter thing.
It'd be cool if it was DOA6 though, the time frame fits and it'll be on Steam too. I wonder how much they'd have to sacrifice visually for it though, it's already looking pretty nice in it's early build...

Slowly but surely? Counting Neo-Geo and other arcade ports, the Switch has had like, a new 1v1 fighting game like every other week...

If you call that slow, what do you consider fast?

Meh if it's not any of these then I'm not interested: Mortal Kombat, Virtua Fighter, Tekken, Dead or Alive, Project Justice/Rival Schools, Star Gladiator/Plasma Sword, Soul Calibur, Power Stones, etc.

It specifically says licensed game, so it's not a known fighting series, it has to be tied in to some film/anime/third party media property. Though "licensed" could include something Sega like an Ultra Sonic Crush Siblings or something.

@shani A Switch version of Soul Calibur VI is just asking for Marth as a guest character!

@Bizzyb but the game on both systems were subpar. The Vita version did not have a tag team aspect of the game and the 3DS version had a crappy version of the tag team element.

If DOA ever arrives on the Switch, it better be a console quality game and not made for a portable system.

If it’s some anime Fighter then I’m out.

A new/remastered version of Tatsunoko vs Capcom???? I would love another one of these, especially with the Samurai Pizza Cats this time....

@Freek I would kill for Tobal 2. KILL...

Let just hope it's NOT tekken or dead or alive!

@BlueBlur101 Hm I was actually thinking of Link like on GC.

I feel like there's been a bit too many fighters, but i'm just not a huge fighter fan I'll be getting Smash, but haven't even really played a street fighter or mortal kombat game in forever.

I was hoping for Fighting Layer Ex, but it's on PS 4 already. Hmmmm

@Arnold-Kage
The only 2019 fighters that I know of are DOA 6, Jump Force and Kill La Kill.

It could be something completely different though as those games were already announced without any Switch versions.

@CaPPa Maybe. Still glad with whatever we get

I'd like to say Tekken, but I would hold my breath.

@Agent_Mike
That would be fine by me
Best version out there.
I absolutely love TTT2 on Wii U.
The customization was awesome.
