Which I guess basically confirms a Switch release. Did a search and found nothing other than the devs considering the idea of a Switch port, so give me a bad rank if old.

[Antiwhippy]

Yeeeeeeeeees.

 

[The Main Event]

Already own it on Vita. Double dipping day fucking 0.

 

[chrominance]

Makes sense, especially since the game supports both touch controls and button/stick controls, meaning it should work great for both docked and portable play. Enjoy, Switch owners!

If only this had any impact at all on a DJMAX RESPECT release in the west. That's handled by a different dev/publisher now, right?

 

[Deft Beck]

Keep in mind that all releases of Xonic past the Vita version have the Guilty Gear tracks out for the moment due to licensing issues with ARC System Works.

Otherwise, I hope it's not like $40 again. I almost rebought the game on PS4, but this might be a better option.

 

[Tapejara]

Nice! Had a lot of fun with this on Vita; glad to see it on more platforms.

 

[TheLegendaryN]

YESS!!

I didn't have a Vita at the time, so didn't pick it up on that system, but I really enjoy handheld rhythm games, so a Switch version is very welcome!

 

[Sephiroth87]

That seems very uncomfortable to play with the asymmetric design of the Switch, but hey, happy for more people to play it

 

[ZeroX03]

Hey, that's the best of both worlds. Should be the definitive version with all control options available.

Hmmm.

 

[Nights Owl]

I promise any dev that releases a good rhythm game for Switch that I will buy it.

I'm probably one of the few people who have rhythm games as one of their top 3 favorite genres.

Same

 

[branny]

The PS4 version is really nice… Comes with DLC tracks, and the load times are crazy fast.

Some crazies preferred the touchscreen controls to buttons back on the Vita, so maybe it's not all bad. :lol

The analog stick inputs being offset will definitely be annoying, though.

Hey, that's me (I was too used to DJMAX Technika Tune)!

 

[blackMamba1187]

Fuuuuck. Prob wouldn't have dbl dipped on PS4if I had known this. I guess I feel a triple dip coming on in the future.

 

[sinonobu]

Glad that I didn't pick it up for Vita!

Getting this day-1

 

[chronic_archaic]

Do not skip on the game, I have it on Xbox One and if you like rhythm games it's great. Feels like something from the golden age of them. Get it for sure, but get a pro controller because I feel like this game will be ass with the joy cons.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I think I'm going to have to buy this.

 

[LordKano]

How's the soundtrack for that one ? I didn't pick VOEZ because I don't really like the few tunes I've listened to on youtue.

 

[onemanasylum]

I like how your avatar matches your post for excitement haha,

 

[LambdaTeos]

YES YES YES YES YES, WILL TRIPLE DIP DEFINITELY, YES YES YES YES YES YES OMAIGOSH YES

NOW, PLEASE, DJMAX RESPECT, AT LEAST CONFIRM LOCALIZATION!

now, I know they are from different developers, but I just want more rhythm games in general u.u

I hope Sega develops a project diva for Switch, also a new taiko is coming to switch too...

Or maybe even IA/VT...

Xonic is made by ex-Pentavision staff, so yeah, no relation.

Our music tastes might not be the same, as such you're better off checking out this playlist:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXWldbf_-QY&list=PLHV3SYleFfl76F9kcciMBl5Apee--Edw3

It has every track from the original Vita release iirc. I think that overall it's pretty solid.

Sounds like my jam

 

[Intel_89]

Despite being developed by ex-Pentavision (DJMax folks) some of the music was produced by the same artists, like Nien for example. Already double dipped for the PS4 version, I'll triple dip if this gets a retail release.

 

[Jazzem]

Woaaah nice :O I had been meaning to grab this on Vita for the longest time, will wait for Switch now!

 

[RampagingSoul]

I never grabbed this on Vita, but I'll probably grab this when it comes out on Switch.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I owned this on my Vita when they discounted it by half, but I'd go full price on this one. Very good game.

 

[Dunnymeister]

I missed this on Vita and preferred it on a handheld. Now I get handheld and console in one!!

As much as I want a DJ Max port, I can't see it happening... It's never ventured off Sony hardware except afaik? DJ Max Encore never happened did it?

I guess this will never make it to Europe. I wonder if the DLC question when buying cross region on Switch was ever answered.

 

[LambdaTeos]

FYI:
Asked PM Studios and:
1.- no plans to release dlc for Vita version
2.- switch users will have to download the extra songs for free, they are not included in the game

I thought they would since they are re publishing it but it has been confirmed by them

Cannot post Twitter links since I'm on mobile, but they answered that in the comments

Justification time...

$39.99 suggested retail price.
$32.00 price via Amazon Prime or GCU.
Save $10 I would have spent on DLC songs for the PS4 version that are free for the Switch.

It's like the Switch version is only $22!

European release was announced by Rising Star a few days ago. It'll launch around the same time as America.

Wow that box art. Maybe I'll just buy it digitally. But then again 40 is a lot of money which can be lessened thanks to Prime and GCU.

Press release via email just came out confirming it.

Wait free DLC?! Sweet!

Awesome, more rhythm games for Switch please. It's a perfect platform for them.

Do I really want to triple dip on this?
