Update [Fri 1st Apr, 2022 04:45 BST]: This latest update for Fighter EX Layer: Another Dash is now live. Here's a trailer showing it off in action:
Original article [Tue 22nd Mar, 2022 03:25 GMT]: When Fighting EX Layer: Another Dash made its debut on the Nintendo Switch last May, we described it as a solid Street Fighter EX spin-off, awarding it seven out of ten stars.
If you've not tried this one out on the Nintendo Switch just yet, it might be worth checking out at the start of April. In an update from the game's developer Arika, the company's president has revealed the netcode system update for the game will arrive on 1st April.
It's not some cruel April Fools' joke, either - with the president explaining how it'll be "the next generation of netcode" (thanks, Siliconera).
Arika uploaded a video of this incoming update earlier this month. Here's a look:
Fighter EX Layer is a free download on the Nintendo Switch, but to access the complete experience, you need to purchase the "full package" for $24.99 (or your regional equivalent) - which contains more modes and characters.
Have you tried out this fighter on the Switch? Will you be giving it another go when this update drops? Tell us down in the comments.

Noice. I don’t play online much but it’s always nice to see measures taken to ensure a game has life.
Would be nice if they'd add the actual original Fighting Layer cast to the game (both versions) some day, though...
Ah the best version of this game that they left on just Switch for some reason [Another Dash mechanics >>>>> vanilla deck power ups] which is weird for fighters.
Did this ever get a physical release?
@GrailUK no. And why would they? It’s free.
@Greatluigi Free? Whoa!
Kinda weird how Arika is handling netcode better than Nintendo themselves, who have devised better netcode for future games but won't put it in any existing titles. Kudos, Arika. I can always appreciate changes "under the hood" of a game.
Is this an in season April Fool’s joke?
A sale on the full package to celebrate would be nice.
Love this game but please Arika add a new story mode, more DLC fighters maybe some original ones or more from Street Fighter, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Bloody Roar, or DOA (any and all are okay), and then give us a physical release soon. I will double dip heck even triple dip if this end up being fantastic in the end.
I guess I’m just hard of sight - I couldn’t tell the difference between the 60fps and 30fps screens.
Quite an enjoyable fighter this.
Nice, this is something Sega and Atlus couldn't even offered for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax on Switch. To think a small company like Arika was able to do what Sega and Atlus don't.
I love this game, I would have liked a physical release but eh, what you gonna do.
Is Terry Bogard part of the full game dlc package?
