Switch Fighter DNF Duel Season Pass Roadmap Revealed

Is there going to be a cart version In The uk?

I really hope this means we'll get Guilty Gear Strive eventually, even on the Switch's successor. DNF Duel looks pretty cool but Strive is simply badass

Because paid season passes work so well with full price games.

Looking forward to digging into this one.

Guilty gear also announced bedmen! I’m so happy! I got the game in hopes they would make them playable!

Unless this IP had any interesting characters or guest fighters plan for it. Is anyone actually that interested in the DLC fighters pass? If you ask me they could had release one full game first and then drip feed DLC at a later date, this practice of announcing DLC before the game is even out lack my interest. It just tells me that they're not giving us a complete game.

Man i hope the numbers will rise for this game. Its a beautiful fighting game.
And man seeing this video i will double dip and get in on the switch as well.

@Serpenterror
The game is already out, it's just the Switch version that is coming later.

🤢👎Forget this Game ! According to this it has no local wireless multiplayer, only online player match : https://nintendoeverything.com/dnf-duel-coming-to-switch/
A fightinggame without local wireless multiplayer makes absolutely no sense. When the servers shut down some day these kind of games get completely useless for example ! A big hit in the face from Arc system works. I hope this gets boykotted to make them realize what a completely senseless game is 🐘. Of course if it has local wireless multiplayer, i must have it !

Edit: Just read it is a very weak game. So nothing to worry about

@Tukan I didn't see anything mentioning that on your link and I don't see the point of wanting the game to be boycotted either way. Also, I'm pretty sure that it will allow PvP on the same Switch so no local wireless would only be an issue to Switch Lite users. If you don't want it, simply don't get it.

@Tukan Bro Nintendo Everything doesn't say if it does or doesn't include local wireless, and not only that, most fighters on Switch besides the Capcom Collections and Smash. And if you were saying that it won't have local multiplayer at all, then obviously that won't happen. I think you have re-read whatever you're looking at

@Serpenterror The game is already out on other systems, plus it took them so long to get the game out so the game has been complete for basically almost an entire year

Literally just preorder yesterday lol. I'm so excited for this to release and I hope that the dlc will be able to help people to keep returning. The only thing I was really hoping for that I need to recommend to everyone now is crossplay

Pah. Looks nothing like Duke Nukem Forever..

This looks pretty interesting, I’ll have to keep my eye on it

Mind kinda thang. But yeah, gimmeh Guilty Gear Strive as well. Love this genre.

cant wait to play this.

@theModestMouse Or as Nintendo likes to call it, "Waves".

@Vivianeat @theModestMouse
Game is 50% off on PS and Steam right now.

Any chance of Xrd Rev2 and Strive then, maybe? (and a patch for Kill la Kill IF would be nice, as I detailed in a forum post a while ago)

Definitely interested now that it's coming to Switch. Glad to see their supporting the game with more content too.

I think this could be my arena fighter I been looking for. I played others but I think this one would stick. And I can.

Maybe I this is the answer to Darkstalkers until one comes out?

@Tukan But boycotting the game? Over them not having a feature? Why lol.

I have all Aksys games on Steam.

DNF Duel and Granblue Fantasy are VERY WEAK games.

Note: DNF Duel has virtually no offline options. The game is very basic, the characters have FEW moves (like Granblue). Gameplay is very limited, with almost no single player content. That is, the game itself is only online.

Detail: the netcode quality of this game is bad.

I rate DNF Duel 4/10 and Granblue Fantasy 3/10.

Easy pass.

@Rykdrew
You really forgot GBVS Rising is coming, didn't you?

@Chaos_Knight I didn't forget. I'm just waiting for this game to launch before to give an opinion. What was said is that it would have a little more complexity in the battles. Because, honestly Granblue Versus is much, MUCH simpler than Darkstalkers 2, a game from 1995. It's simpler than Street Fighter 2 Turbo. It's TOO simple. It's a game without substance. Beautiful graphics and cool sounds and that's all. It's like a pretty girl and really, really, really dumb.

@Rykdrew I found it to be a great game. Bought it right away !☺

@Rykdrew Well both games are still getting content. GBVS is getting rollback. Your opinion wouldn't matter.

@Chaos_Knight Rollback does not turn Granblue into a Guilty Gear.

I say this with pain in my heart. I buy every fighting game on the market. It's my favorite style. DNF and GB disappointed me a lot. Rollback does not save a limited ame. Won't make it better. The former Blazblue Central Fiction is far superior to these 2 games!

@theModestMouse still you own the game, gatcha crap depends on the devs, once not profitable anymore, bye bye server and you lost all your money.

It's my favourite fighting game on Switch, so I'm just glad to get more content.

I often forget this game is on the switch honestly.

@Rykdrew «Note: DNF Duel has virtually no offline options. The game is very basic, the characters have FEW moves (like Granblue). Gameplay is very limited, with almost no single player content. That is, the game itself is only online.»
Is it so bad and bare-bones like a Fighting EX Layer: Another Dash?

Picked this up when it was on sale on the eshop, I like it and well I don't mind the extra characters. The designs are great and since I picked up an 8bitdo arcade stick I figure the more use of that the better. Even trying a little local coop was pretty fun too.

@Vyacheslav333 Yes, my friend. Unfortunatly!

@Rykdrew Wow... It's really disappointing. Seems like almost every modern 3D fighting game sucks single player content/modes-wise.

Launches on 4/20 heh heh

I'm pretty happy with this game and the season pass. I'm still practicing with Brawler and they already revealed Battle Mage. for December.

God I wish my anxiety didn’t keep me from playing fighters, they look so fun!

bro thinks hes smash bros with that dlc roadmap

@Fighting_Game_Loser but it's not complete. Obviously. If they do finish the game and put all of it on a cart, then maybe I'll be interested. But more likely everything is complete and they're just screwing people.

@Vyacheslav333 it's 2D.

@LikelySatan Yes, it is. The game was like that for a year with enough content but people have been hating on it for not having DLC to the point of constantly boycotting it with every announcement because apparently, what was previously seen as bad (delivering DLC right after a game is released because it was clearly cut content) is now the standard that gamers want of fighting games. This one is actually having the DLC being developed as we speak and not cut content that they are selling as that and it took a year and counting, which is normal time for development but nowadays a reason to hate on it.

@Snatcher I really recommend this one, it's really accesible (even more than games like Fighterz and Strive) and for some reason not as tense as other games from the genre at least from my experience. It doesn't have many people playing but it will have at least enough activity until the season pass is complete.

@LikelySatan Fighting games that uses 3D models(Mortal Kombat, Tekken, etc) are 3D fighting games for me. Or, if be more correctly, they are 2.5D fighting games. But I prefer to call them as 3D fighting games. For me, 2D fighting games are pixel sprites-based games (Guilty Gear XX ΛCore Plus R, for example) and cartoon graphics games (Skullgirls 2nd Encore, for example).

@roy130390 yeah I get that angle, but then adding systems too is kinda naff. I don't know, fighting games are like sports games now.

@roy130390 Maybe if it’s on a heavy sale, because I have like four different fighting games and I just keep chickening out ):

@LikelySatan Dude if it wasn't complete it wouldn't of taken the team over a year to start releasing dlc characters. DLC characters in a fighter doesn't mean that the game isn't complete, it just means they're continuing support for the game so that people stay invested in the game. Also I made that comment almost half a year ago at this point, so things change drastically

@Snatcher It's actually on a good sale right now for $20 instead of $50! In my opinion, $20 is a much more worthwhile price than $50

@Fighting_Game_Loser I'm just speaking for myself. The fgc killed the (once favorite) genre.

@LikelySatan How did the fgc ruin the genre for you? I feel like the vastness of the fgc was the reason I was only able to finally see the amazingness of this genre of game

@Snatcher Haha I get you, I have the Capcom Fighting Collection, Skullgirls, Mortal Kombat 11, Blazblue Tag Battle, Fighterz, Power Rangers Battle for the Grid, Smash Bros and this one (and that just on Switch). Don't feel bad to try different fighters, it's an overwhelming genre that, at least from personal experience, needs a lot of experimentation but once one clicks with you... oh boy, it's probably the most rewarding gaming experience out there.

If you ever get it feel free to contact me to play.

@roy130390 Out of all those you mention I only don’t own two. 🥲

I know but boy, just I don’t know if it even is anxiety or fear. Even when I’m having fun I still feel it and it messes me up, it ruins it. How do you do it? Go online, do you just not care do I care too much about losing? I wish I could pinpoint the feeling, and figure it out from there because there was a time where I could, but now I just….can’t? Like even smash bros matches are a stressful thought, but playing locally removes that feeling entirely, so why does online matter?

I have only felt it a few number of times, and I agree, the rewarding feeling is why I want to play it, I love it!

I just might at some point, I loved the beta! Which I also was able to play without that feeling somehow? I don’t know why lol.

@Snatcher I think that anxiety comes from the desire of doing well in games. When we play with friends, lots of people prioritize having fun and spending time together at least in most situations. However with strangers, people tend to focus on winning since there's no relation with them and on many occasions, not even a direct interaction. I think that the genre also enhances that sensation because we are, even if not directly, having our asses handed to us which is a bigger humiliation than say, losing a race or some kind of party game. Same with victory as there's nothing cooler than looking and feeling like a pro when dominating a rival.

What has helped me with that is playing games with more accesible mechanics so that I feel like I'm totally in control of the character, helping me learn to process losses more as it's harder to give an excuse when a loss was clearly your mistake. I also try to be aware of the feeling of anxiety so that I avoid practices like button mashing and even prioritize controling my character properly over victory. Last but not least, I got a friend that practices fighting games with me and we focus on talking and having fun in general. Despite of me taking the game more seriously, I sometimes lose the game to her because I get too distracted with the conversation and while I admit that it was slightly annoying at first, it really lowered the need to win once I got used to it. I even go slower most of the time so that she feels like she can compete at a same level and occasionally she outmarts me and I'm not able to recover. Honestly, spending time together and her getting so happy with her victories took priority.

You simply become more self aware of said anxiety when you expose yourself to it and it's easier when it's with people that are close to you so that other things become more important. I tried this with this game and others like Dying Light, which also get quite toxic and competitive and it has helped a lot. It's still harder to apply it with randoms but it's definitely more bearable.

Sorry for the long comment!

I played a trial of this game on PS+ and it's just alright. I liked Guilty Gear and Blazblue a lot more.
