Pros: Switch release, Zetterburn with a loincloth, improved animations for some of the characters, revamped menu, all dlc prepackaged, all modes unlocked, new intro fmv, new online multiplayer, new cosmetics and stages. Cons: No Ronald McDonald.
cons: NO XBOX its gonna be on switch, which isnt even out yet, while xbox has been out for 50 years. so why no xbox dan really doesnt care about xbox edition, huh
IMPORTANT NOTE TO NEWCOMERS INTERESTED IN THE SWITCH PORT: The Switch port of Rivals of Aether will not be including the Workshop beta build, as there are just too many types of complications that make it rather impossible to add. While this is sad for some, please do not underestimate just how good the base game is with all these fun characters and stages given to us from Dan and his team.

@@FE_Chase I would hope so. The custom colors option was build in from the early early days, so I doubt they would remove it since it allows players to make the characters their own, in a way 👍

Just one of the best fighting platformers ever created. Its easy to see with how much love and effort this game was created. Thank you for making this piece of art ❤️
Something I just now noticed... In the original intro to the game we are shown Zetterburn-Fire Orcane-Water Wrastor-Air and Kragg-Earth. But then in the updated cutscene we are then shown Forsburn and Clairen-Fire Etalus and Ranno-Water Eliana and Absa-Air Maypul and Sylvanos-Eart Nice attention to detail.
Sure whatever here just read the end of this article where they say it themselves www.rivalsofaether.com/new-netcode-open-beta-is-available-now-on-steam/
@Enkoujin Z there will be some people that are tired of smash bros and with good netcode its another reason for consumers to play rivals instead I am not saying that rivals will compete with smash but admit it smash's online is trash with all the input delayed lag and trash matchmaking.
@@Renzo0 i guess its an mkx situation its harder to implement rollback on a game that exists rather than develop it alongside the game. Thats a great read.
soy samuel po believe me, I’m in Australia, but most game development and advertisement is done with the Northern Hemisphere in mind, so think Winter release in the South for anything marked “Summer”. That being said, I was being satire when I wrote this comment.
Bill Clinton as stated previously, this comment is satire. There’s a difference between it, and comments from those impatiently waiting for the game, I can wait for it to be ready. Besides, _Seasonal_ Summer in the Northern Hemisphere ends August, most people expect a release that says “Summer [insert year]” to arrive during the designated timeframe, or at least get a concrete release date to a vague Month at minimum a week in advance, (and for the most part it usually does), not 2/3 of the way into September, the first month of Autumn (or Fall, whatever). In terms of the business year, you are correct (I think), but the common population is not going to know _or_ think in terms of the Business Year. People see “Summer 2020”, think June through August, (or December through February for the Southern Hemisphere), not September. A lot more comments relating to how the release date presented in this video is Summer 2020 are going to start popping up, and it’s incredibly unlikely Dan will just shadow drop the Definitive Edition update tomorrow.
@@FrostGlader - I'm just going through all the recent comments talking about the release date with the same copy paste.

I'm just trying to help edit: I'm not on _all_ the recent ones but i'm on most of 'em
will the boss character Kragg be unlockable in this version? even just to play against our friends in casuals? obviously he would be banned from online ranked
I just noticed that the "New Cosmetics" section features Lovers of Aether skins, I love these devs so much. A Flashygoodness remix of Ding Dong Tree would fucking make my year.
The definitive edition isn't coming to Xbox One. In fact, Shovel Knight STILL isn't on Xbox One. Be prepared to have the developer abandon Switch quite quickly, just saying, it's in their track record after all.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW BADLY I WAS SEARCHING FOR THAT SWITCH LOGO. I absolutely love rivals. I love the music and art style. And it's my favorite game genre! I got an Xbox specifically to play two games, subnautica and rivals. I'm so excited for the switch release!!! (I don't want to keep paying for Xbox live, PSplus and switch online so it'll be nice to put the old VCR to rest this summer)
Watching this really makes me hope that this game gets a physical version. This game needs to be immortalized along with other amazing fighting games like ssbu, street fighter, and king of fighters
Sebastian Perea if you get dlc before it comes out it might give you the definitive version for free you can always just pay for the definitive version when it comes out too
It's the same game, I'd recommend it if you dont already have the dlc tho, it's basically a bundle, possibly getting it on a different platform would be worth it
our cause has never been so just
i am beyond ready for this. our boy zetterburn *finally* learned to put on some pants
Oh shoot nice attention o detail

Yet he still can't choose between having four and five fingers.
Absa and Maypul still butt naked though.

And even more importantly, we got skins from the best game, Lovers of Aether.
I didn’t even realize. Those beautiful bastards put in Lovers costumes.
