Dragon Ball FighterZ Switch absence isn't due to tech, open to port if fan interest
- Thread starter Eolz
- Start date
Of course they're not going to undercut Xenoverse II before it comes out. Though I don't see that game doing well considering everyone who wants it probably has it. It's been on sale multiple times. Does the Switch version have any new features or includes all DLC?
A lot of hate for Bamco in this thread, but they are one of the few third parties that actually supports Nintendo. If it can really work on the Switch, it'll come eventually.

Already seeing on twitter a lot interest/RT/comments, so that's great.
A mainstream IP like this really helps
Fyi, it's currently at 5,227 retweets and 2,281 likes. I wonder how long the former will take to reach the infamous 9,000 level
I'm assuming 'show interest ' means buy a years old port while everyone else is getting the new game and then they'll port that one over in a year or so. Same shit different day.
Well I'll be getting xenoverse just cuz I haven't picked it up yet. Ad long as it's a decent price.

Who thought it was due to tech???
It's a nice looking game but it's a 2d fighter.
Wiiu ran smash 4 60fps 1080p with 8x players.

There's so much more to it then "it's a 2D fighter"

What being cel shaded? 3d models mimicking 2d? It certainly isn't textures or complexity of character models.
You know it won't be.
People have been playing 2D fighters with such magnificent dpads as the ones on the xbox 360 and ps3 controllers over the last decade and they seemed to do the job, since most fighters were released there.
They sucked as much as switch's dpad, but like in that case, there's alternatives like the pro controller and fight sticks.
Would love to play this game on the switch!

If I like this fighter as much as I think I might (As much as I like their other games, Xrd and P4A), I will not only double dip, but also buy a Switch.

I'd love to have this on Switch but this definitely seems like a "buy Xenoverse 2 and we'll consider it" type of gig. Will be showing my twitter support though.

I would buy this game on Switch. Local multiplayer alone makes it the choice for me.

It's a good thing that the Switch has a good wifi with 5ghz unlike the Ps4.

Controls ... not fitting for fighting games.

I've seen several tweets at several thousands of RTs too...
What about the pro controller? The Hori stick? The sticks fine to play on the go, which wasn't an issue for Vita fighting games?

Don't forget about the 40 dollar 8bitdo controllers.

Yes that's true. I also think this game is probably less demanding than Snake. Snake Pass has really remarkable lighting, water and foliage.
Yep, it's the Vita all over again.
Considering the Switch in general, you bet that people would love to take their fighting games on the go if they can play with others. Mind you I don't think we have established anything like "Fighting Sticks" for the Switch yet (or at least not one when the Switch isn't Docked).

Wow you are oversimplifying a lot, lol
Theres some really cool, pretty advanced shader tech going on in that game. From effects to -how- cel shading this advanced works (its not just a button that you press, you know), to high poly models (these games with this artstyle usually need 2x or 3x the amount of polygons other non cel shaded games do)
Its basically a lot of custom work for a specified set of graphical features, would be a good deal of work to port down.
Sounds like you already decided that Switch can't run it on par with other consoles, despite the fact that GG ran on PS3.
Good thing you have options
The Switch is getting a Hori arcade stick next month.
Brook also says they are nearly ready with a Brook converter for Switch. Day 1 for that, can't wait to use my 360 stick with ACA NeoGeo games on Switch.

This would be a great single joycon game on the go. Also, would be great if crossplay. Retweeted to add my support.
Just remembered that a stick was in production and had to double check something.
From Forbes
Don't know if we will actually see an Arcade Stick that can work with the Switched when it isn't docked, but at least it shows that the support will be there when more fighting games show up in the market. Still, thanks for jogging my memory.

I don't I own a Switch. I hope this comes to the Switch.
My mind boggles at the people looking for reasons that it shouldn't for whatever reason, when the dev says it's not an issue technically.

Throw a coat of Dragon Ball paint on Guilty Gear Xrd and people think its a generation leap.

Make a highly customized game for a highly specific platform and people think you can just pull a couple of levers and get the same game for a completely different platform and architecture

What are you even talking about?

They already said the switch would have no problems running it much like xenocerse. So your essentially making a knowingly losing argument.
Which is very odd.

You would need a pro controller for this game.
in a thread about a developer saying that its game can run in certain platform, are you really arguing that it cannot?

Im just saying its not an easy port, like some people are saying. Of course its doable, it would just take time and effort.
Edit: Also, thats the producer from Bandai talking, not someone from ArcSys who, you know, would actually know more about the effort required to make a port.
Don't know what you mean by "Highly Specific Platform" if it will be on Xbox One (not just the X), Playstation 4 and PC.
Mister Wolf

That highly customized game has already been done before on PS3/XBOX 360 its called Guilty Gear Xrd. Check it out it features cel shaded 3d models that animate like they're 2D sprites.

Producers don't tend to be wholly technical my incompetent, not good ones anyway. This is the guy who choses who develops the game and for what platform. Do you think he wouldn't have a good idea about the feasibility of a port?

Hopefully this means my PS4 stick can work with it in case fighters does come to the switch

We had someone in here post some dumb shit about how it'd be 540p on the Switch in addition to drastic other graphical reductions, so I'm not surprised
Unless the Switch OS specifically forbids it for some reason, I see no technical reason why wired controllers couldn't connect directly into the USB C port on the console itself. The dock is really just a hub, the port on the console itself is a standard USB C port, not some proprietary thing.
Good thing you can use a lan adapter with your Switch dock then?
Nice shitposting there. Your participation in Nintendo threads is a sight to behold. This isn't a port begging thread, the dev himself brought it up.
