Guilty Gear Strive 2.0 Patch Notes Seem To Confirm That Switch Is Being Left Out

Gimme the Switch 2 version pleeeeease

Yikes. I had considered getting the Switch version with the announcement of Jam.

Switch 2 version would be ideal but that feels like a ban-aid to the general Switch situation. This version already took forever to get the DLC characters after Dizzy.

Yikes low-key feels like a scam at this point. Would rather they have just waited and release thr game on Switch 2 instead of waste resources on the original Switch.

Glad I held off on buying this. Trying to consolidate on switch family so if a game doesn’t have parity I just won’t buy it. I have too many fighting games as is.

I guess I'm glad I got to a point I got impatient with waiting and just got Strive on PlayStation. I would be super annoyed if I had waited for the Switch version, got it, and then got left behind for DLC. To be fair I kinda did with Skullgirls for a bit, but that was with DLC that came far after the Switch port and before it was actively supported again, so this just makes it feel more egregious.

I hope they at least make a switch 2 edition for free. Because i sold my ps4 edition to have on switch and these ***** do this...

I genuinely enjoy anime-style fighting games, but I, like probably others, skipped out on the switch version because of the lack of crossplay. I hope they don’t interpret that as lack of interest in the series on nintendo consoles, it’s just that fighting games require a large draw pool to maintain a reasonable community.

Wow, the total LACK of respect they have for their Nintendo players. Screw them. ArcSys, I don't recognize you anymore.

@Oppyz666 Given how poor they did treat the Switch version, I betcha that there is no Switch 2 version planned, they just gave up on Nintendo players, because they prefer the other userbases.

@JR150 And yet, there won't be any Switch 2 version, they care more about their PC and Playstation userbases.

If they don't want to update the switch version then why make it?

Unless there's another headturner character in Season 5 "content updates", the patch notes don't sound like something to worry about, let alone prioritize a more home-chained version for. If an upgrade does come by, I may humour it (seeing as tangible new content is typically the only thing I find worth humouring in "NS2 editions"), but otherwise I'll keep targeting the Switch port regardless of ASW's evaluations.

@Notsoavid a community is not a selling point for everyone. I tend to stick to campaigns and, if available, occasional couch multiplayer in fighters; in SSBU, I literally haven't touched online battles in over six years of owning and playing the game, and same goes for the first Guilty Gear's port (where I have my hands full trying to beat Justice in single player as it is). This is the series that sold me on fighting games back in the day, but the cast and the animations are what did the latter trick in the first place.

I play on Steam.

@nhSnork Fair point. I may be guilty of over compartmentalizing my ideas about what I consider to be important for single player versus multiplayer games. I dont normally think about fighting games as single player experiences beyond combo practice. Glad you enjoy it.
