Who wanted this? it seems like every arrow points to this being a failure, and the dev time going into the base game would of been prefered, let me know what you think though I want to hear some other opinions
I feel ArcSys has truly fallen down the path of depravity and greed. Despite my comment asking “What if I wanted it”, I never cared about Strive on Switch, and I truly think that ArcSys has forgotten their old ways and what made them such a goated developer.
@jngo172 are you being fr rn? How is getting a port out equal to becoming greedy and depraved? That's so fucking stupid. Obviously they want the most amount of people they can to be able to enjoy the game, and (while not common) some people do just own a switch, it's definitely the least expensive between current consoles or a pc.
i wanted this. laying down is more comfy than sitting in a chair. not having crossplay sucks ass, but i don't care about the development time being lost. the game is in a good place right now, and the switch version can improve over time. i don't really see a reason to complain about guilty gear expanding it's range of accessibility.
I think strive on switch is great! I've been trying to get my friend into Guilty gear but he only has a switch and also doesn't care for playing fighting games online so this is like a huge win in my book, as long as the port isn't really bad.
If your friend doesn't care about fighting games he more than likely won't like it at first, but as someone who was absolute shit at fighting games (and who only liked the Budokai Tenkaichi saga) GGST is the game to get on, plenty of characters with simple enough moovesets whoose mechanics go deep enough to be interesting. I hope your friend gets hooked like i did because i genuinely think this is the best fighting game ever
- All current DLCs included in one neat package - All modes intact - 60FPS - Rollback netcode - Previous examples, like Dragon Ball FighterZ, show ArcSys ports can run well on Switch - Ability to play on the go - A chance to expand the series further, especially toward the casual player base - Most importantly, a LOT of people only have a Switch and not other consoles or PC. So, are they just not allowed to want this game? Even then, I know people with multiple consoles who still prefer the simplicity and portability of the Switch. Dude, if you truly want the series to flourish, this video... this very idea shouldn’t have even crossed your mind! I saw one of your replies where you said you "heard" the Switch has a large user base in Japan. As an avid gamer (and a gaming RUclipsr, no less), that’s not something you’d hear-it’s more of a "known fact" at this point! Local multiplayer is still thriving in Japan, where people often meet up during breaks, after school or work, or while waiting for commutes to play games together. Every time I visit Japan, I see groups of teenagers playing their Switches at meeting points in town or businessmen gaming on public benches after work. NOT EVERYONE has to play online all the time! Sure, no cross-play is a shame, but it’s not a deal-breaker, especially in Japan. Besides, it's just another option that offers more ways for people to play. If someone is serious about competing globally, they’ll get the game on another console. It sounds like you’re worried that the Switch version might tarnish the series’ reputation due to a dip in quality, but your take comes across as narrow-minded, biased, and a bit gatekeeping. Either way, I think most of the comments on this video should give you a clearer picture of who really wants this port. BONUS: It's incorrect to say "would OF." It should be "would HAVE." The "'ve" in "would've," "could've," and "should've" comes from the word "have."
@@Raynfgc Well, DUH. You wanted to know who would want this game on the Switch, and you even acknowledged that there’s a large user base in Japan-so I pointed that out. There are plenty of Japanese players who would want this game, even if the rest of the world didn’t care for it (which clearly isn’t the case, as we can see from the comment section). You need to look at the bigger picture. It’s NOT ALL ABOUT YOU, especially when you claim you want the game to succeed and reach a wider audience, but then fail to acknowledge those very people. And this is even more significant when those players are part of one of the largest user bases, in the same country as the game developer, no less.
Not so much gatekeeper more just I see a few problems with it, I do hope it's successful and brings more ppl to strive but i feel the experience would be subpar who knows gotta wait and see how the Port does
@@RaynfgcI'm definitely questioning if the Switch, with it's outdated hardware, will be capable of outputting a stable 60fps. If it can't, then GG Strive will *literally* be unplayable.
If it makes you feel any better, while I'm not a Strive developer specifically, I am a fighting game developer, and I can pretty safely say the process of developing a character is almost certainly bottlenecked by the animation and not by the programming. Whereas the Switch port requires only programming and no new animation. So I doubt it would affect how fast they can make new characters The wifi problems are probably mostly right though. And in terms of market, they made Switch ports before so I'm sure there's enough of a market that they deemed it worth their time
yeah, the vast majority of the programming of a character would basically just be inputting numbers and hitbox sizes as long as you've made a proper framework. the only part that would actually require new code is specific character behavior. programming is honestly the easy part of making a game compared to art, animation, voiceovers, music, etc.
@@StarryArrii For fighting games I wouldn't say programming is the easy part because the game systems are so complicated, and if your game is good you need to design with rollback in mind which is quite difficult. But you're right about the rest. Once you've got the systems in place each new character is a lot easier. And to some extent, each new GAME is a lot easier since in the case of Arcsys they reuse the same engine and framework from previous titles. As for hitboxes and hurtboxes, often developers will have specific tools for modifying those things so they don't have to manually input numbers
@@owencmyk oh yeah the initial programming of systems is difficult, I misphrased it. I meant in terms of adding new content programming is almost never the bottleneck since it works within a framework
To add to this, both the customer base switch and the capacity for games ports, are vastly understimated for how bulky and consistent they really are because more often than not ppl use the worst examples possible for comparassion, switch is one of the best selling consoles on nitendo with a consistent rise on the player base every year, thats it more ppl owning dif versions of the switch And about the if the port will run badly, it will be kinda of a hit or miss because a game like strive would absolutely be able to run on switch with no problems, save for conections issues because nitendo online servers in americas and EU are trash, of course if needed there might be some graphics down grade but judging by what strive already looks like, it wont look like the game is running on a potato im a sure, take MK per example, a hype realistic graphic with tons of complex effects and redering, the switch port looks like ASS and pales in comparassion to the graphics of the PC or the PS version, but the game runs just fine both in local and online
bad take. crossplay loading times wouldve been horrible, wifi only as well. Its meant for on the go play. Its not for people who own it already. Additionally, its likely ported by a small additional team. Doesnt need art or desgn to stop working on new cxharacters etc. Contrarian for the sake of contrarian. Its not meant to be the competetive standard. its meant to attract new people in, and be essentailly free money. Minimal dev time for dropping a title on the platform with the highest attach rate and install base...
Yeah hopefully it does open up to a brand new community of people who don't have access to the game currently, in regards to dev its still resources and finance that can go into other things but hopefully it works out
Imagine, a really solid game being released into one of the most popular consoles ever! People who have just a Switch and think Strive looks really cool will want this. Myself, I want it to play with my kid. And complaining ArcSys could put the resources into a new character makes no sense., these companies have several teams responsible for different tasks
Honestly I think this arguement is kinda bad faith all around imo. First, many people have asked for this on Switch, including me, for a while. I'm just disappointed it didn't come sooner since I already got it on PS. Second, the entire game is $60 base, but it has everything from Seasons 1-3, so you're actually getting a really good discount on the game if you compare it with the Daredevil edition on other systems, so its not rebuyying everything all over again for $100+, its everything right then and there. Third, this didn't take away dev time from the characters or modes, because the people working on this are not the same people as the core team. This is being made by people at ArcSys who are there specifically to work on tech stuff, so they aren't taking away from other dev time, also not to mention that it will probably run at full speed perfectly considering they ported FighterZ and DNF to Switch and those turned out perfectly well. And fourth, you say that the Wifi Warriors are going to destroy connections, and that just isn't true. I am someone who plays on Wifi and my wifi barely ever dips to hinder my gameplay in my games, even those with delay based netcode. I think it just depends on the area someone is in because some people just live in an area with kinda bad connection, and its not their fault, its more so a problem about how our internet is routed in the US. Also the way you say rollback doesn't work if the system someone is playing on is a much lesser power one than a system you're playing on AND the opponents system is too weak to play it, then Switch should be completely ok because then all Switches will share the same power level, so there can't be any problems with connections there. And not to mention that ArcSys wouldn't release this game on Switch if they couldn't get it to be full speed. Its the same with all of their other previous ports. Anyways sorry for the ramble, just thought I would point all of these out
Very fair points I think there is some potential if it goes well I'm just super sceptical, I heard japan has a massive switch player base as well will just have to see and look back when it out for a bit
Switch owners that like fighting games wanted this. It makes ArcSys more money. It puts Strive in more hands. It has the potential to run at high fidelity on the new generation hardware they have coming. There’s nothing but positives here. The question is, why didn’t you see any of these things from that perspective?
I wouldn't of thought switch would be the go to console for a 2d fighter (excluding smash) it's kinda like call of duty black ops on the Wii, like yeah it exists but people who play or want to play it will just buy it on a ps or box, while yes it has the potential to make arcsys money and introduce a new untapped audience I worry it won't be the best. However despite that I do hope it does well and gets more people into strive
@@Raynfgc it’s not about it being a go-to console for fighting games, it’s about getting the game in the hands of people who don’t play games on other platforms, as many switch owners are somewhat exclusive to Nintendo platforms, which is a shocker, I know
@Raynfgc i see that, but strive is their best selling game based off a personal IP that they have. if they can put all of the stuff they did into xrd and that only sold 200,000 copies. they're well off to putting as much as they want into strive. i think daisuke himself said that in an interview recently saying that funding isn't even am issue rn or something along those lines. and he just wants to make the best game he can
Damn, rare Rayn bad take, games coming to more consoles will always be a massive positive, people like me only had Nintendo consoles until they could afford a pc, if I had of known about guilty gear earlier, I would’ve been sad as hell that I can’t play it. I don’t know why the ‘re-buy it’ is something you brought up, this is for people that don’t have the game, just don’t buy it on switch… This video just feels kinda gatekeepey ☹️
I mean i'm not against it going to switch, its moreso the people who get the game won't really get the full experience as they are literally hardware and network locked and with no crossplay i can't imagine it being good, on top of that people have to pay a subscription to play online on switch so idk just seems like an all round not good idea and I don't think it will be pulled off properly. idk i could also be wrong there is also a massive japan playerbase that might be the main audience for it, also could be good for locals for transport if the game actually plays exact same will have to see
@@Raynfgc it's a fully feature complete version of the same game, what does "hardware and network locked" even mean? we making up terms now? The game is already confirmed to be running at 60fps on Switch and newsflash, you have to pay to play online on the other consoles as well, the difference is that on those it costs 80$ dollars a year while it's only 20$ on Switch. So I've no clue what are you on about, they shouldn't massively expand their fanbase just because "no crossplay"? Be serious lmao
i think people feel this because of the switches power vs everything else. yes nintendo is behind. but also nintendo makes lemons with lemonade. for 3rd parties, they just need the right juicer.
I always wanted this, if the switch can run mk 11 and doom eternal then guilty gear won't be a problem. It also opens the possibility of a guilty gear character getting rep on the next smash bros game.
I'm gonna be honest, I thought Arc System Works would've waited until the release of Nintendo's next console to port Strive into it, but it actually kind of makes sense for them to port the game to the current Switch, we still have no clue when Nintendo's next console is going to come out, the Switch itself has sold over 140 million units, so there's a huge potential audience there, and I think ArcSys is probably going to release this port to tie-in with the release of the Guilty Gear anime, which may raise some interest in the series on people who haven't played it. Not to mentioned that porting fighting games into weaker hardware has been a thing since fighting games became popular in the '90s, consoles like the Super NES and SEGA Genesis weren't as powerful as Capcom's CPS or SNK's NeoGeo, but they received ports of those games, and the Super NES even got a port of Street Fighter Alpha 2. The same thing happened with portable consoles, the original Game Boy got ports of games such as Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, Real Bout Special and Battle Arena Toshinden. And if we talk about more "recent" portables, the PS Vita got a port of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and the 3DS received a port of Street Fighter IV as a launch title. The important thing for developers is that their games reach a wider audience. And I also have to add that the Switch has received a lot of fighting game ports, Capcom released Ultra SFII HD, SF 30th anniversary collection and Fighting Collection 1 & 2, SNK released games such as Samurai Shodown '19, KOF XIII and SvC Chaos, and there's plenty of other ArcSys games like BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, Dragon Ball FighterZ and DNF Duel. I'm expeting the Switch 2 to receive games like Street Fighter 6, KoF XV and Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves
Keep in mind that while not a powerhouse of a console the switch has sold way more than the ps5 so it is worth to port it. This is a business and plus i wanted it right from the first announcement. I hope you're ready to eat your own words in the future bud.
While personally I wouldn’t choose strive to come to the switch (would’ve thought that gbvsr would get a switch port before strive) Being able to take the game on the go without needing a bulky laptop is a massive plus in my eyes
Maybe I'm the kind of person who like to pick up a device to start labbing with just one button press. Maybe I want to throw hands at a buddy's house and I don't want to deal with setting up a laptop and then the resolution is wrong and the controllers are not connecting etc etc. Convenience is just priceless, so yes, this is very valuable, despite no crossplay, having all characters released thus far in this release is huge. Also, to everyone clowning on performance, DBFZ, also Unreal 4, is right there, doing just fine
I so badly wanted to get into strive, just felt like there’s too much lag on my Xbox controller +Tv lag. I knew I’d need an arcade box for good input. Not only is the switch accessible to me- it’s input lag will make gameplay legitimately more enjoyable for me and an actual advantage in portable mode
I bet most switch users playng Mortal Kombat or Street fighter will be glad about having another adition to their library, afterall who wouldn't wanna play GGST on the go?
Imagine getting this worked over an optional port you don't have to play... pretty poor take. Plus Dragon Ball Fighterz and DNF Duel run fine on switch.
Back when I was trying to take BlazBlue CF seriously, having an easily portable version on Switch was immensely useful. I could take my Switch and Snackbox Micro in a bag, and do my labbing and practice during breaks that I'd otherwise screw around on my phone. To then come home and actually play online with friends on PC. Monster Hunters on 3ds had a similar split where I'd do more tedious grinding away from home, and focus on the fun play with friends back at home
The best part about no crossplay is the fact I don't need to pray to God that I won't match against someone who's console's barely pushing above 30 frames on attrocious connection.
Arc Sys is a developer that can get seemingly demanding looking games running on lesser hardware, I'm not worried about that. People forget that Xrd, looking as good as it does, was running in UE3 at a rock solid 60fps while everyone else could barely keep their games running a consistent 30fps at the time. So this game is going to run just fine. Strive also probably has the best netcode of any fighting game ever made, because I have tons of friends who play on Wifi, and it's perfectly playable. What kills any desire for me to recommend this version of the game though is that there's no cross-play. Cross-play is pretty much the only reason why Strive is the game that most of my friends play together. Xrd Rev 2, Central Fiction, & Under Night 2 are fantastic games that I love, but I'm on PC and about half of my friends are on different consoles.
I also have seen a lot of people almost immediately threatening to insta block Switch players if the game would've had cross-play, so I feel like even with that Switch players would basically be it's own corner of the Strive playerbase
I'm definitely getting the switch version. The fact that it'll have all DLC except for Season 4 already had me interested. Sure it'll cost $60, but no way in hell am I gonna spend $99 for everything separately on PC.
@@Nando75549 I can't speak for PlayStation and Xbox Players, but Strive pretty regularly gets discounted to $20 on Steam and so does its DLC. The Switch version might cost less in general, but you can still get a better deal on the PC version when it's on Sale.
im going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you're exaggerating in the video a bit, because the switch has alot of other fighting games like DBFZ and they run very well and i dont think the problem of not alot of people playing the game will be a problem because theres alot of people who want to play strive but only have a switch. also, me i want guilty gear on switch
I literally packed a PS5 on the carry on for the trip I'm currently on so I could convince my friends to try the game while we are sitting in the Airbnb. I would not need to do that if I had this earlier.
OMG SHUT UP ! I ASKED SO MUCH FOR THIS ! "Switch is for Cartoon games" GG IS A CARTOON GAME uhauhauuhauhuahuhauhuau FighterZ sell very well, is there a public, competitive or casual, respect that !
me. I have the game on steam but ive been wanting it to come on switch for ages. Wifi isnt the end all be all of a fighting game. Im gonna buy it again.
Tbh I am, I’ve been wanting to play guilty gear strive for a WHILE. But I’ve never been able to because I don’t have a PC. So it being on the Nintendo switch is very exciting for me. (I don’t understand WHY THERE’S NO CROSSPLAY THOUGH)
eeh, the teaser looks pretty good. graphics are good comparing to PC and the Oled has an Ethernet port in the doc. so that's not all bad. i'm sure it's going to be locked at 60FPS too, knowing arcsys and DB fighters.
About the "No Cross-play" on Switch, I already saw SO MANY people being like "If Switch version has Cross-play, every Switch player gets blocked", so the no Cross-play is probably a good call here just on the terms that the playerbase would be separated nevertheless, either by players or by the non existent of Cross-play
Last time this happened to my favorite franchise we got worse looking, worse playing, less atmospheric game because switch is less powerful than modern smart phones (MH: rise)
@@invarkul7831 braindead take, MH Rise is one of the best games in the franchise. Maybe grow up and stop caring about visuals so much. Also, I doubt it's your favorite franchise when the overwhelming majority of games in the series are portable games that look like PS2 games. If it was your favorite franchise you wouldn't actually care about such dumb things because MH was never about pushing visuals to begin with.
Me. I asked for this... Before I got it on Playstation. I'm still buying this because I love the idea of having this game on the go, on the same machine i play Xenoblade and Smash Bros on. And also because I dont have all the dlc in Strive. Yeah it's probably easier and cheaper to get the dlc i dont have right now, and I think I've even seen them go on sale. But i want this weird Switch Version for convenience. I am curious about how the player base will be on Switch though because it varies weirdly. I played P4A on Switch and it's pretty rare to find a match. Meanwhile I've always found lobbies and players open in BBTag and DBFighterz. I think it'll sell decently too. It feels like whatever ends up on switch just kinda sells well. It has this magical universal appeal that it kinda takes you by surprise sometimes.
I was sad i couldn't play GGS anymore on Xbox game pass. And that day I heard its coming to Switch and to be honest I screamed out of pure joy. Because i lost my PS4 when i went homeless a year ago. I would have bought it for that, but my current computer cant play GGS, I had no way to play until now. so excuse me that despite the issues it will have that I'm excited that I can join in on the fun when i just got into Strive this year. For me with my craving to learn this game and be able to play some how until i get either a new computer or a PS5 this is A DREAM FOR ME LEMME HAVE IT!
Having all characters available on the disk/cart is really all I need with stuff like this. I really just appreciate the idea of definitive editions for fighting games.
I can't wait to see someone roll up to a locals with a Switch controller......no disrespect just i wanna see someone try to do a pot buster while dealing with joycon drift
Unpopular opinion: I’m really looking forward to playing Guilty Gear Strive on Nintendo Switch but as long as it releases in a stable state, I’m perfectly fine with that! And besides, I can’t be the only one who thinks that Guilty Gear Strive is a WAY BETTER fighting game than Mortal Kombat 1! I think that Arc System Works does a pretty good job of porting fighting games over to the Nintendo Switch IMHO! And BTW, I do have this game on PC/Steam via Steam Deck in case you were wondering! And I have both versions of BlazBlue: Central Fiction on PC/Steam and Nintendo Switch!
Happy birthday dude🎉🎉. strive on WiFi isn't bad lmao. I play my friend on WiFi and it's even smoother than some lan players. As long as it's 5g WiFi it's the same as ethernet. But switch not having cross play is funny lmao 😂😂
I wouldn't say everyone who owns a switch, just coz a game is out on switch doesn't mean you are gonna buy it like I'm never gonna play fire emblem for example.
Arcsys realised there are a lot of new made fans of guiltly gear (in twitter) who haven't played the game yet. They don't need online because online demands to learn a combo of two but they are not used to making an effort
I have like 6 mfs in University that only play via switch, so i can finally force them to play Strive, also it will release next year so yeah those are like 7 months of dev time, without crossplay AND they need to add Dizzy along the way AND start on Venom right after. Also i think you're missing the point of this port, everyone is treating this port as a portable version of the game (for non steam deck users), i mean what, you play it in your phone or smt? i mean think of the collection of Street fighter, i played 3 years on recess with friends, not once did i use this for online play, i think this port is the same thing but worse
Me, I'm the person who wanted this! 😺😺 I like to practice and play story/arcade on the switch since I can take it anywhere and play whenever. Then I'll go online and play people on the Xbox/PS5 that's wired up to the router. Dbfz, Skullgirls, Street Fighter Collection, Garou, Kof98, Mortal Kombat etc.
Also the ease of portability makes it more plausible to take to a local, over to a friend's house, or even to just a common public place compared to PC/Xbox/PS.
Huh, i waited for this tho? I play dbfz on switch and its my to go version because i can just bring my oled to a friends house , give him a joycon and play vs without need of more periferials. Just as mario kart deluxe. And for what the trailer shows, you can do the same in this version. I do agree with you that people that are in the competitive scene are not going to play this version, but people casual like me, seeing this on the store, moreso if there is a sale? so fucking in.
I wanted it, I have only a PC and my Switch, so I can kinda have a physical version of the game with me. Got also a Rog Ally and I could play portable with that, but isnt the same as using a downgraded Switch version~
this smells of Professional PC Player. i wanted this. i dont care for online. i get my ass kicked every time. if i cared about online, id get it on my steam deck. i also dont care about 4K visuals. 1080P is just fine for me and a lot of other people too. it being on the switch allows for more people to get into the series i dont know much about. and im definitley getting this when it comes out.
*me rebuying strive on my switch and all the dlc.* Oops... But for real seeing how i don't feel like dropping around another 500 dollar to get steam deck yet, and i play handful of fighting games on the go already just for funs and pratice, i don't mind the switch version being a thing. I didn't want it, probably not going to play as well on the pc or ps5, but i'm not going complain that it exist now. Plus the switch had a fucking huge ass install base especially in japan, so i don't blame them for wanting to tap into that.
I think you underestimate the amount of people that like fighting games from a very casual standpoint that simply do not have more than a switch and a laptop.
I low-key wanted it, then I lost hope. Now I'm happy & just have to wait a few months to play the latest one. Just be glad there's no cross-play because that would suck & I know the internet is bad because I've played SSBU in the past & it was a massive burden trying, so I gave up. Gimme that metal soundtrack. My 2017 Switch will go out in a blaze of glory just waiting for the Switch Successor.
I wanted this now I get to play this game on the go anybody who didn't want this is either obsessed when it comes to graphics or online connection I just like to have fun
Pretty sure people who only own a Switch are very grateful this even came to the system they have. I was surprised too they even got this working on Switch but if it's not 60fps then it's probably going to be a horrible experience. Trust me you don't want the Switch version to have crossplay because of how many people use wifi and the wifi card on the Switch is absolutely awful.
I'm happy for the switch players. But as an Xbox player, this just adds salt to the wound. Strive was just announced to leave Game Pass in September, which was the only way I had access to Strive. The fact that I even bought Bridget means that I now have a DLC character but no game to use it on.
The INVESTOR ? Switch can be an advertising machine, if some new player got on it they probably buy it again either on pc or consoles they already have. Whats the problem supporting and gaining new player or this is how fighting community that toxic even as someone who watch people playing this games like tekken which I enjoy but not interested in playing it.
I think this Guilty Gear: Strive port will release near the premiere of the Guilty Gear anime series they announced a couple of months ago, so in a way I believe people who watch the anime might wanna try Strive and since the Switch has sold over 140 millions units, it makes sense for AcrSys to release the game on the platform. Something similar happened with NieR: Automata's Switch port, which was release a couple of months before the anime, or the recently announced Yakuza Kiwami Switch port which will release near the premiere of Yakuza's live-action show on Prime Video
“No one wanted this on switch” I’d like to have a word Mr dude who never played local couch multiplayer on a system YOU CAN EASILY TAKE ANYWHERE YOU WANT AND HOOK UP TO A TV DOCK IN SECONDS THATS THE WHOLE GIMMICK OF THE SWITCH. PORTABILITY! *Induces Rage Aneurysm* No yeah you’re missing the whole target market you said it yourself lmao. It’s nice to take my OLED switch to do local multiplayer to my game shop to play others and even partake in local tournaments. All my fighting games digitally on one system that can have 2TB of extra storage wherever go is amazing. Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection and Dragonball FighterZ are there and plan on getting more digitally. The market of the switch wasn’t really focused for online community but portability and having a good time with irl friends and family.
Imagine trying to input a fast rc or kara cancel on a joycon it's gonna be a whole other ball game ahahah I can see the perks of having transportable game u can just chuck up I just worry for optimisation online play etc and all the other things in the video which might not share the same quality as the original game will have to see when it's out
@@Raynfgc they make pro controllers that feel damn good and third party controllers from 8bitdo and Hori. Plan on getting a hori fighting stick specifically for switch. There are other options than joycons hell those break easy to drift. (I went as far as paid 100$ on parts and labor to get Hall effect sticks that never drift on my Zelda edition joycons)
From what I know the Xbox version was actually made by another studio other than ArcSys, so I would assume this is also the case here, meaning this most likely didn't influence the development time for DLC.
It’s not cross platform!? BRUH. I’m happy that it’s on the switch now and wondered why they took so long to add it but ain’t no way I’m about to wait 10 minutes to matchmake :/
Who wanted this? it seems like every arrow points to this being a failure, and the dev time going into the base game would of been prefered, let me know what you think though I want to hear some other opinions

i wanted this. laying down is more comfy than sitting in a chair. not having crossplay sucks ass, but i don't care about the development time being lost. the game is in a good place right now, and the switch version can improve over time. i don't really see a reason to complain about guilty gear expanding it's range of accessibility.
omega strikers fan??
I think strive on switch is great! I've been trying to get my friend into Guilty gear but he only has a switch and also doesn't care for playing fighting games online so this is like a huge win in my book, as long as the port isn't really bad.
If your friend doesn't care about fighting games he more than likely won't like it at first, but as someone who was absolute shit at fighting games (and who only liked the Budokai Tenkaichi saga) GGST is the game to get on, plenty of characters with simple enough moovesets whoose mechanics go deep enough to be interesting. I hope your friend gets hooked like i did because i genuinely think this is the best fighting game ever
- All current DLCs included in one neat package
- All modes intact
- 60FPS
- Rollback netcode
- Previous examples, like Dragon Ball FighterZ, show ArcSys ports can run well on Switch
- Ability to play on the go
- A chance to expand the series further, especially toward the casual player base
- Most importantly, a LOT of people only have a Switch and not other consoles or PC. So, are they just not allowed to want this game? Even then, I know people with multiple consoles who still prefer the simplicity and portability of the Switch.
Dude, if you truly want the series to flourish, this video... this very idea shouldn’t have even crossed your mind! I saw one of your replies where you said you "heard" the Switch has a large user base in Japan. As an avid gamer (and a gaming RUclipsr, no less), that’s not something you’d hear-it’s more of a "known fact" at this point!
Local multiplayer is still thriving in Japan, where people often meet up during breaks, after school or work, or while waiting for commutes to play games together. Every time I visit Japan, I see groups of teenagers playing their Switches at meeting points in town or businessmen gaming on public benches after work. NOT EVERYONE has to play online all the time! Sure, no cross-play is a shame, but it’s not a deal-breaker, especially in Japan. Besides, it's just another option that offers more ways for people to play. If someone is serious about competing globally, they’ll get the game on another console.
It sounds like you’re worried that the Switch version might tarnish the series’ reputation due to a dip in quality, but your take comes across as narrow-minded, biased, and a bit gatekeeping. Either way, I think most of the comments on this video should give you a clearer picture of who really wants this port.
BONUS: It's incorrect to say "would OF." It should be "would HAVE." The "'ve" in "would've," "could've," and "should've" comes from the word "have."
im not japanese
@@Raynfgc
Well, DUH.
You wanted to know who would want this game on the Switch, and you even acknowledged that there’s a large user base in Japan-so I pointed that out. There are plenty of Japanese players who would want this game, even if the rest of the world didn’t care for it (which clearly isn’t the case, as we can see from the comment section).
You need to look at the bigger picture. It’s NOT ALL ABOUT YOU, especially when you claim you want the game to succeed and reach a wider audience, but then fail to acknowledge those very people. And this is even more significant when those players are part of one of the largest user bases, in the same country as the game developer, no less.
Me, actually. I really wanted this because strive is one of my favorite fighting games, and i can't wait to play it on my swich
Fighting game fans not being gatekeepers challenge (impossible)
and in the same breath will ask WHY DOES NOBODY PLAY OUR GAMES
Not so much gatekeeper more just I see a few problems with it, I do hope it's successful and brings more ppl to strive but i feel the experience would be subpar who knows gotta wait and see how the Port does
@@RaynfgcI'm definitely questioning if the Switch, with it's outdated hardware, will be capable of outputting a stable 60fps. If it can't, then GG Strive will *literally* be unplayable.
gatekkeping is GOOD
@@HellBreaker learning how to spell is GOOD
If it makes you feel any better, while I'm not a Strive developer specifically, I am a fighting game developer, and I can pretty safely say the process of developing a character is almost certainly bottlenecked by the animation and not by the programming. Whereas the Switch port requires only programming and no new animation. So I doubt it would affect how fast they can make new characters
The wifi problems are probably mostly right though. And in terms of market, they made Switch ports before so I'm sure there's enough of a market that they deemed it worth their time
yeah, the vast majority of the programming of a character would basically just be inputting numbers and hitbox sizes as long as you've made a proper framework. the only part that would actually require new code is specific character behavior. programming is honestly the easy part of making a game compared to art, animation, voiceovers, music, etc.
@@StarryArrii For fighting games I wouldn't say programming is the easy part because the game systems are so complicated, and if your game is good you need to design with rollback in mind which is quite difficult.
But you're right about the rest. Once you've got the systems in place each new character is a lot easier. And to some extent, each new GAME is a lot easier since in the case of Arcsys they reuse the same engine and framework from previous titles.
As for hitboxes and hurtboxes, often developers will have specific tools for modifying those things so they don't have to manually input numbers
@@owencmyk oh yeah the initial programming of systems is difficult, I misphrased it. I meant in terms of adding new content programming is almost never the bottleneck since it works within a framework
@@StarryArrii Yeah absolutely
To add to this, both the customer base switch and the capacity for games ports, are vastly understimated for how bulky and consistent they really are because more often than not ppl use the worst examples possible for comparassion, switch is one of the best selling consoles on nitendo with a consistent rise on the player base every year, thats it more ppl owning dif versions of the switch
And about the if the port will run badly, it will be kinda of a hit or miss because a game like strive would absolutely be able to run on switch with no problems, save for conections issues because nitendo online servers in americas and EU are trash, of course if needed there might be some graphics down grade but judging by what strive already looks like, it wont look like the game is running on a potato im a sure, take MK per example, a hype realistic graphic with tons of complex effects and redering, the switch port looks like ASS and pales in comparassion to the graphics of the PC or the PS version, but the game runs just fine both in local and online
I’M GONNA GET MY DAMN GUILTY GEAR STRIVE SWITCH EDITION, AND YOU’RE NOT GONNA STOP ME
Ppl who own a switch?
I needed this I'm to poor to buy any other consoles
Me here
Me
imagine owning that shit lmao
Same here
Been wanting this since Strive came out. It's easy to travel with and will be great to take to local events for games with friends.
bad take. crossplay loading times wouldve been horrible, wifi only as well. Its meant for on the go play. Its not for people who own it already. Additionally, its likely ported by a small additional team. Doesnt need art or desgn to stop working on new cxharacters etc. Contrarian for the sake of contrarian. Its not meant to be the competetive standard. its meant to attract new people in, and be essentailly free money. Minimal dev time for dropping a title on the platform with the highest attach rate and install base...
Yeah hopefully it does open up to a brand new community of people who don't have access to the game currently, in regards to dev its still resources and finance that can go into other things but hopefully it works out
The real question here is WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND WOULD ASK THAT QUESTION??
The answer is super obvious. Those who only own a Nintendo Switch
Imagine, a really solid game being released into one of the most popular consoles ever! People who have just a Switch and think Strive looks really cool will want this. Myself, I want it to play with my kid. And complaining ArcSys could put the resources into a new character makes no sense., these companies have several teams responsible for different tasks
Honestly I think this arguement is kinda bad faith all around imo. First, many people have asked for this on Switch, including me, for a while. I'm just disappointed it didn't come sooner since I already got it on PS. Second, the entire game is $60 base, but it has everything from Seasons 1-3, so you're actually getting a really good discount on the game if you compare it with the Daredevil edition on other systems, so its not rebuyying everything all over again for $100+, its everything right then and there. Third, this didn't take away dev time from the characters or modes, because the people working on this are not the same people as the core team. This is being made by people at ArcSys who are there specifically to work on tech stuff, so they aren't taking away from other dev time, also not to mention that it will probably run at full speed perfectly considering they ported FighterZ and DNF to Switch and those turned out perfectly well. And fourth, you say that the Wifi Warriors are going to destroy connections, and that just isn't true. I am someone who plays on Wifi and my wifi barely ever dips to hinder my gameplay in my games, even those with delay based netcode. I think it just depends on the area someone is in because some people just live in an area with kinda bad connection, and its not their fault, its more so a problem about how our internet is routed in the US. Also the way you say rollback doesn't work if the system someone is playing on is a much lesser power one than a system you're playing on AND the opponents system is too weak to play it, then Switch should be completely ok because then all Switches will share the same power level, so there can't be any problems with connections there. And not to mention that ArcSys wouldn't release this game on Switch if they couldn't get it to be full speed. Its the same with all of their other previous ports. Anyways sorry for the ramble, just thought I would point all of these out
Very fair points I think there is some potential if it goes well I'm just super sceptical, I heard japan has a massive switch player base as well will just have to see and look back when it out for a bit
Switch owners that like fighting games wanted this. It makes ArcSys more money. It puts Strive in more hands. It has the potential to run at high fidelity on the new generation hardware they have coming. There’s nothing but positives here. The question is, why didn’t you see any of these things from that perspective?
I wouldn't of thought switch would be the go to console for a 2d fighter (excluding smash) it's kinda like call of duty black ops on the Wii, like yeah it exists but people who play or want to play it will just buy it on a ps or box, while yes it has the potential to make arcsys money and introduce a new untapped audience I worry it won't be the best. However despite that I do hope it does well and gets more people into strive
@@Raynfgc it’s not about it being a go-to console for fighting games, it’s about getting the game in the hands of people who don’t play games on other platforms, as many switch owners are somewhat exclusive to Nintendo platforms, which is a shocker, I know
i don’t think people working on characters and mechanics are the same people working on a port ngl
probably not but moreso developer allocation and funding right?
@Raynfgc i see that, but strive is their best selling game based off a personal IP that they have. if they can put all of the stuff they did into xrd and that only sold 200,000 copies. they're well off to putting as much as they want into strive. i think daisuke himself said that in an interview recently saying that funding isn't even am issue rn or something along those lines. and he just wants to make the best game he can
Damn, rare Rayn bad take, games coming to more consoles will always be a massive positive, people like me only had Nintendo consoles until they could afford a pc, if I had of known about guilty gear earlier, I would’ve been sad as hell that I can’t play it. I don’t know why the ‘re-buy it’ is something you brought up, this is for people that don’t have the game, just don’t buy it on switch…
This video just feels kinda gatekeepey ☹️
I mean i'm not against it going to switch, its moreso the people who get the game won't really get the full experience as they are literally hardware and network locked and with no crossplay i can't imagine it being good, on top of that people have to pay a subscription to play online on switch so idk just seems like an all round not good idea and I don't think it will be pulled off properly. idk i could also be wrong there is also a massive japan playerbase that might be the main audience for it, also could be good for locals for transport if the game actually plays exact same will have to see
@@Raynfgc it's a fully feature complete version of the same game, what does "hardware and network locked" even mean? we making up terms now? The game is already confirmed to be running at 60fps on Switch and newsflash, you have to pay to play online on the other consoles as well, the difference is that on those it costs 80$ dollars a year while it's only 20$ on Switch. So I've no clue what are you on about, they shouldn't massively expand their fanbase just because "no crossplay"? Be serious lmao
i think people feel this because of the switches power vs everything else.
yes nintendo is behind.
but also nintendo makes lemons with lemonade.
for 3rd parties, they just need the right juicer.
I always wanted this, if the switch can run mk 11 and doom eternal then guilty gear won't be a problem. It also opens the possibility of a guilty gear character getting rep on the next smash bros game.
Solbadguy in smash
I'm gonna be honest, I thought Arc System Works would've waited until the release of Nintendo's next console to port Strive into it, but it actually kind of makes sense for them to port the game to the current Switch, we still have no clue when Nintendo's next console is going to come out, the Switch itself has sold over 140 million units, so there's a huge potential audience there, and I think ArcSys is probably going to release this port to tie-in with the release of the Guilty Gear anime, which may raise some interest in the series on people who haven't played it.
Not to mentioned that porting fighting games into weaker hardware has been a thing since fighting games became popular in the '90s, consoles like the Super NES and SEGA Genesis weren't as powerful as Capcom's CPS or SNK's NeoGeo, but they received ports of those games, and the Super NES even got a port of Street Fighter Alpha 2. The same thing happened with portable consoles, the original Game Boy got ports of games such as Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, Real Bout Special and Battle Arena Toshinden. And if we talk about more "recent" portables, the PS Vita got a port of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and the 3DS received a port of Street Fighter IV as a launch title. The important thing for developers is that their games reach a wider audience.
And I also have to add that the Switch has received a lot of fighting game ports, Capcom released Ultra SFII HD, SF 30th anniversary collection and Fighting Collection 1 & 2, SNK released games such as Samurai Shodown '19, KOF XIII and SvC Chaos, and there's plenty of other ArcSys games like BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, Dragon Ball FighterZ and DNF Duel. I'm expeting the Switch 2 to receive games like Street Fighter 6, KoF XV and Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves
True very good points
Keep in mind that while not a powerhouse of a console the switch has sold way more than the ps5 so it is worth to port it. This is a business and plus i wanted it right from the first announcement. I hope you're ready to eat your own words in the future bud.
I hope I do, I want nothing more for strive and arcsys to be successful, just all the technical limitations seems to point to it not looking that good
Switch player waiting for 30 mins to finally get a match on floor 3 against another switch player (999ms 69 rollback frames)
While personally I wouldn’t choose strive to come to the switch (would’ve thought that gbvsr would get a switch port before strive)
Being able to take the game on the go without needing a bulky laptop is a massive plus in my eyes
Yeah that would be massive just need to see how it plays
Maybe I'm the kind of person who like to pick up a device to start labbing with just one button press. Maybe I want to throw hands at a buddy's house and I don't want to deal with setting up a laptop and then the resolution is wrong and the controllers are not connecting etc etc. Convenience is just priceless, so yes, this is very valuable, despite no crossplay, having all characters released thus far in this release is huge. Also, to everyone clowning on performance, DBFZ, also Unreal 4, is right there, doing just fine
I so badly wanted to get into strive, just felt like there’s too much lag on my Xbox controller +Tv lag. I knew I’d need an arcade box for good input.
Not only is the switch accessible to me- it’s input lag will make gameplay legitimately more enjoyable for me and an actual advantage in portable mode
Why not? It's good that the nintendo player base will finally be able to enjoy the game.
I wanted it. More games on the platform is always a win. L take.
I wanted strive on switch for a long time
If this is satire then it failed horribly..
ong, bro sounds like a home console dick rider
I bet most switch users playng Mortal Kombat or Street fighter will be glad about having another adition to their library, afterall who wouldn't wanna play GGST on the go?
I WANTED THIS! JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T WANT TO TORTURE YOUR FRIENDS WITH SOL BADGUY ON A ROAD TRIP DOESN’T MEAN I DON’T!
Imagine getting this worked over an optional port you don't have to play... pretty poor take. Plus Dragon Ball Fighterz and DNF Duel run fine on switch.
This is a WILD take, not everyone has your console
Do you know how long I've been waiting for this. I prayed this game would come on switch.
Ggst players when they get anything new:
Back when I was trying to take BlazBlue CF seriously, having an easily portable version on Switch was immensely useful.
I could take my Switch and Snackbox Micro in a bag, and do my labbing and practice during breaks that I'd otherwise screw around on my phone.
To then come home and actually play online with friends on PC. Monster Hunters on 3ds had a similar split where I'd do more tedious grinding away from home, and focus on the fun play with friends back at home
I did, I wanted it on the Switch!
So screw your elitist bs.
Elitist? XD
I ASKED FOR THIS. I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT.
The best part about no crossplay is the fact I don't need to pray to God that I won't match against someone who's console's barely pushing above 30 frames on attrocious connection.
There's enough people with atrocious conection on PC for that already, some matches look like a slide show
Can’t wait to play guilty gear in school >:3
"WHO WANTED THIS!?" idk, ppl who own switches?
nvm it doesn't have crossplay who tf asked for this
LMFAO
Arc Sys is a developer that can get seemingly demanding looking games running on lesser hardware, I'm not worried about that. People forget that Xrd, looking as good as it does, was running in UE3 at a rock solid 60fps while everyone else could barely keep their games running a consistent 30fps at the time. So this game is going to run just fine. Strive also probably has the best netcode of any fighting game ever made, because I have tons of friends who play on Wifi, and it's perfectly playable.
What kills any desire for me to recommend this version of the game though is that there's no cross-play. Cross-play is pretty much the only reason why Strive is the game that most of my friends play together. Xrd Rev 2, Central Fiction, & Under Night 2 are fantastic games that I love, but I'm on PC and about half of my friends are on different consoles.
I also have seen a lot of people almost immediately threatening to insta block Switch players if the game would've had cross-play, so I feel like even with that Switch players would basically be it's own corner of the Strive playerbase
@@instinctfan23
Bruh...
Good thing it won't have crossplay. So, they can calm their extreme hormones down.
I'm definitely getting the switch version.
The fact that it'll have all DLC except for Season 4 already had me interested.
Sure it'll cost $60, but no way in hell am I gonna spend $99 for everything separately on PC.
@@Nando75549 I can't speak for PlayStation and Xbox Players, but Strive pretty regularly gets discounted to $20 on Steam and so does its DLC. The Switch version might cost less in general, but you can still get a better deal on the PC version when it's on Sale.
I made it to 2:21, for the sake of my sanity and staying subscribed to someone decent, I’m just gonna assume this video is 100% sarcasm.
What if I wanted it?
im going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you're exaggerating in the video a bit, because the switch has alot of other fighting games like DBFZ and they run very well and i dont think the problem of not alot of people playing the game will be a problem because theres alot of people who want to play strive but only have a switch. also, me i want guilty gear on switch
Who wanted this? *I DID!!!*
I guess folks who wanted it on Switch 🤯
Yo kaizo cool to see you here are you ok
I literally packed a PS5 on the carry on for the trip I'm currently on so I could convince my friends to try the game while we are sitting in the Airbnb.
I would not need to do that if I had this earlier.
OMG SHUT UP ! I ASKED SO MUCH FOR THIS !
"Switch is for Cartoon games" GG IS A CARTOON GAME uhauhauuhauhuahuhauhuau
FighterZ sell very well, is there a public, competitive or casual, respect that !
Easy one, Casual players. BTW those switch ports are usually ported by 3rd parties.
me. I have the game on steam but ive been wanting it to come on switch for ages. Wifi isnt the end all be all of a fighting game. Im gonna buy it again.
Tbh I am, I’ve been wanting to play guilty gear strive for a WHILE. But I’ve never been able to because I don’t have a PC. So it being on the Nintendo switch is very exciting for me.
(I don’t understand WHY THERE’S NO CROSSPLAY THOUGH)
eeh, the teaser looks pretty good. graphics are good comparing to PC and the Oled has an Ethernet port in the doc. so that's not all bad.
i'm sure it's going to be locked at 60FPS too, knowing arcsys and DB fighters.
Local gamer furious that more people will be able to enjoy video game
About the "No Cross-play" on Switch, I already saw SO MANY people being like "If Switch version has Cross-play, every Switch player gets blocked", so the no Cross-play is probably a good call here just on the terms that the playerbase would be separated nevertheless, either by players or by the non existent of Cross-play
kinda true unless it was wired with no performance issues i could see crossplay struggling regardless
@@Raynfgc That's probably more of a Nintendo issue than the players, but we'll have to wait and see
@@instinctfan23 yea super curious to see howit goes I think it will struggle but hopefulyl it does do well and opens ggst to a new audience
Guys, I need this since I don't have a PS5 and I don't have anymore GB for it on my PC. So it's made for me and ONLY me
"abloobloo my precious fighting game is going to be accessible to more people :("
hahaha I do hope it does and doesnt compromise quality
Last time this happened to my favorite franchise we got worse looking, worse playing, less atmospheric game because switch is less powerful than modern smart phones (MH: rise)
@@invarkul7831 braindead take, MH Rise is one of the best games in the franchise. Maybe grow up and stop caring about visuals so much. Also, I doubt it's your favorite franchise when the overwhelming majority of games in the series are portable games that look like PS2 games. If it was your favorite franchise you wouldn't actually care about such dumb things because MH was never about pushing visuals to begin with.
@@invarkul7831 and now you've got wilds coming up. also rise slaps, so L.
@@MajoraWaffle apparently rise do be slapping but is it in any way better than world? Nah
i wanted this specifically for the minuscule chance of getting a Xenoblade character in Strive. I can dream… I can dream…
Me. I asked for this... Before I got it on Playstation.
I'm still buying this because I love the idea of having this game on the go, on the same machine i play Xenoblade and Smash Bros on. And also because I dont have all the dlc in Strive.
Yeah it's probably easier and cheaper to get the dlc i dont have right now, and I think I've even seen them go on sale. But i want this weird Switch Version for convenience.
I am curious about how the player base will be on Switch though because it varies weirdly.
I played P4A on Switch and it's pretty rare to find a match. Meanwhile I've always found lobbies and players open in BBTag and DBFighterz.
I think it'll sell decently too. It feels like whatever ends up on switch just kinda sells well. It has this magical universal appeal that it kinda takes you by surprise sometimes.
Will be interesting to see regardless of how it goes hopefully doe well idk tho yet gotta be convinced
Bro got offended with this release
0:21 Switch players
I was sad i couldn't play GGS anymore on Xbox game pass. And that day I heard its coming to Switch and to be honest I screamed out of pure joy. Because i lost my PS4 when i went homeless a year ago. I would have bought it for that, but my current computer cant play GGS, I had no way to play until now. so excuse me that despite the issues it will have that I'm excited that I can join in on the fun when i just got into Strive this year. For me with my craving to learn this game and be able to play some how until i get either a new computer or a PS5 this is A DREAM FOR ME LEMME HAVE IT!
Having all characters available on the disk/cart is really all I need with stuff like this. I really just appreciate the idea of definitive editions for fighting games.
Literally me I wanted this
IM THE ONE WHO WANTED IT 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I can't wait to see someone roll up to a locals with a Switch controller......no disrespect just i wanna see someone try to do a pot buster while dealing with joycon drift
tilt control PB xD
There is no joycon drift in Ba Sing Se
. _.) You may not need it.. but we nintendo switch users need it. Plus it might even pass off to the new nintendo switch 2.0
Me. I'm gonna play the hell out of this
Unpopular opinion: I’m really looking forward to playing Guilty Gear Strive on Nintendo Switch but as long as it releases in a stable state, I’m perfectly fine with that! And besides, I can’t be the only one who thinks that Guilty Gear Strive is a WAY BETTER fighting game than Mortal Kombat 1!
I think that Arc System Works does a pretty good job of porting fighting games over to the Nintendo Switch IMHO!
And BTW, I do have this game on PC/Steam via Steam Deck in case you were wondering! And I have both versions of BlazBlue: Central Fiction on PC/Steam and Nintendo Switch!
Happy birthday dude🎉🎉. strive on WiFi isn't bad lmao. I play my friend on WiFi and it's even smoother than some lan players. As long as it's 5g WiFi it's the same as ethernet. But switch not having cross play is funny lmao 😂😂
thank u
Literally everyone who owns a Switch. That’s who wanted this.
I wouldn't say everyone who owns a switch, just coz a game is out on switch doesn't mean you are gonna buy it like I'm never gonna play fire emblem for example.
Arcsys realised there are a lot of new made fans of guiltly gear (in twitter) who haven't played the game yet. They don't need online because online demands to learn a combo of two but they are not used to making an effort
I own strive on xbox and ps5...
I don't mind buying it again... And again for pc 😂
ME 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️‼️
I will buy, I’m a fighting gamer but not a pro fighting gamer and is cool to have this game in portable.
I have like 6 mfs in University that only play via switch, so i can finally force them to play Strive, also it will release next year so yeah those are like 7 months of dev time, without crossplay AND they need to add Dizzy along the way AND start on Venom right after.
Also i think you're missing the point of this port, everyone is treating this port as a portable version of the game (for non steam deck users), i mean what, you play it in your phone or smt? i mean think of the collection of Street fighter, i played 3 years on recess with friends, not once did i use this for online play, i think this port is the same thing but worse
Yeah I think the local sort of playing with friends has some potential
Me, I'm the person who wanted this! 😺😺 I like to practice and play story/arcade on the switch since I can take it anywhere and play whenever. Then I'll go online and play people on the Xbox/PS5 that's wired up to the router. Dbfz, Skullgirls, Street Fighter Collection, Garou, Kof98, Mortal Kombat etc.
Also the ease of portability makes it more plausible to take to a local, over to a friend's house, or even to just a common public place compared to PC/Xbox/PS.
I REALLY wanted this
Im sure this was in development years in advance with characters releasing and other projects
Huh, i waited for this tho? I play dbfz on switch and its my to go version because i can just bring my oled to a friends house , give him a joycon and play vs without need of more periferials. Just as mario kart deluxe. And for what the trailer shows, you can do the same in this version. I do agree with you that people that are in the competitive scene are not going to play this version, but people casual like me, seeing this on the store, moreso if there is a sale? so fucking in.
I wanted it, I have only a PC and my Switch, so I can kinda have a physical version of the game with me.
Got also a Rog Ally and I could play portable with that, but isnt the same as using a downgraded Switch version~
My sister likes playing strive so this will be nice so she isn't stuck waiting until i can play with her
I think the issues would be for on Nintendo switch is mainly the graphics would look bad but I think some people wanted it
this smells of Professional PC Player.
i wanted this. i dont care for online. i get my ass kicked every time. if i cared about online, id get it on my steam deck. i also dont care about 4K visuals. 1080P is just fine for me and a lot of other people too. it being on the switch allows for more people to get into the series i dont know much about. and im definitley getting this when it comes out.
if you dont want that game dont play it.. its simple..
*me rebuying strive on my switch and all the dlc.* Oops... But for real seeing how i don't feel like dropping around another 500 dollar to get steam deck yet, and i play handful of fighting games on the go already just for funs and pratice, i don't mind the switch version being a thing. I didn't want it, probably not going to play as well on the pc or ps5, but i'm not going complain that it exist now. Plus the switch had a fucking huge ass install base especially in japan, so i don't blame them for wanting to tap into that.
I think you underestimate the amount of people that like fighting games from a very casual standpoint that simply do not have more than a switch and a laptop.
I low-key wanted it, then I lost hope. Now I'm happy & just have to wait a few months to play the latest one. Just be glad there's no cross-play because that would suck & I know the internet is bad because I've played SSBU in the past & it was a massive burden trying, so I gave up.
Gimme that metal soundtrack. My 2017 Switch will go out in a blaze of glory just waiting for the Switch Successor.
I wanted this now I get to play this game on the go anybody who didn't want this is either obsessed when it comes to graphics or online connection I just like to have fun
Pretty sure people who only own a Switch are very grateful this even came to the system they have. I was surprised too they even got this working on Switch but if it's not 60fps then it's probably going to be a horrible experience. Trust me you don't want the Switch version to have crossplay because of how many people use wifi and the wifi card on the Switch is absolutely awful.
I WANTED THGIS BRO MY POOR ASS DOESNT HAVE ANY OTHER CONSOLES
I'm happy for the switch players. But as an Xbox player, this just adds salt to the wound. Strive was just announced to leave Game Pass in September, which was the only way I had access to Strive. The fact that I even bought Bridget means that I now have a DLC character but no game to use it on.
The INVESTOR ?
Switch can be an advertising machine, if some new player got on it they probably buy it again either on pc or consoles they already have.
Whats the problem supporting and gaining new player or this is how fighting community that toxic even as someone who watch people playing this games like tekken which I enjoy but not interested in playing it.
I think this Guilty Gear: Strive port will release near the premiere of the Guilty Gear anime series they announced a couple of months ago, so in a way I believe people who watch the anime might wanna try Strive and since the Switch has sold over 140 millions units, it makes sense for AcrSys to release the game on the platform. Something similar happened with NieR: Automata's Switch port, which was release a couple of months before the anime, or the recently announced Yakuza Kiwami Switch port which will release near the premiere of Yakuza's live-action show on Prime Video
I am more concern about the performance, since DnF Duel wasn't the greatest in graphic performance
“No one wanted this on switch”
I’d like to have a word Mr dude who never played local couch multiplayer on a system YOU CAN EASILY TAKE ANYWHERE YOU WANT AND HOOK UP TO A TV DOCK IN SECONDS THATS THE WHOLE GIMMICK OF THE SWITCH. PORTABILITY!
*Induces Rage Aneurysm*
No yeah you’re missing the whole target market you said it yourself lmao. It’s nice to take my OLED switch to do local multiplayer to my game shop to play others and even partake in local tournaments. All my fighting games digitally on one system that can have 2TB of extra storage wherever go is amazing. Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection and Dragonball FighterZ are there and plan on getting more digitally. The market of the switch wasn’t really focused for online community but portability and having a good time with irl friends and family.
Imagine trying to input a fast rc or kara cancel on a joycon it's gonna be a whole other ball game ahahah I can see the perks of having transportable game u can just chuck up I just worry for optimisation online play etc and all the other things in the video which might not share the same quality as the original game will have to see when it's out
@@Raynfgc they make pro controllers that feel damn good and third party controllers from 8bitdo and Hori. Plan on getting a hori fighting stick specifically for switch. There are other options than joycons hell those break easy to drift. (I went as far as paid 100$ on parts and labor to get Hall effect sticks that never drift on my Zelda edition joycons)
Who wanted this? I do! ... aaaand lots of others judging from when I was at TGS this year.
From what I know the Xbox version was actually made by another studio other than ArcSys, so I would assume this is also the case here, meaning this most likely didn't influence the development time for DLC.
Assuming that the existence of this port is halting development on Strive (new characters, balancing, etc.) is stupid.
it's not halting development on strive, it is however taking up resources (people and money) which could go on to other things for clairification
It’s not cross platform!? BRUH. I’m happy that it’s on the switch now and wondered why they took so long to add it but ain’t no way I’m about to wait 10 minutes to matchmake :/
If they had better d pads on the controllers this would actually be dope to bring around
