Isn't this just a port?
Re: Dragon Ball FighterZ (Switch) Open Beta will be on the 10th!
It's not a straight port. It has some extra modes, including a 1 vs 1, 2vs 2 and six-player multiplayer option. Why would it matter if it was "just" a port, though?

Are we sure that "local 1v1 and 2v2 multiplayer" is referring to the characters per team and not to the local multiplayer capabilites of the Nintendo Switch? I.e. having two/four people on two/four Switch consoles play together. I can't find a source that would confirm with certainty that we will see 1 / 2 selected characters in a match.
Re: Dragon Ball FighterZ (Switch) Open Beta will be on the 10th!
I really want a 1 vs 1 mode. Team Battles are pretty hard to master, and I usually found myself playing better when me and my opponent are down to our last characters.

Says exclusive feature, so probably not.
Re: Dragon Ball FighterZ (Switch) Open Beta will be on the 10th!
Guess I should buy that then as I didn't buy the game yet. Will it flow as well as the ps4 version?Brodes wrote:https://twitter.com/BandaiNamcoUS/statu ... 3088721920sangofe wrote:Interesting about 1 vs 1!

I'm just disappointed none of the website staff seem to think its worth reporting on anything to do with Fighterz on the Switch.

This is so weird. I check the main page almost daily, and I only remember seeing two of those articles (the announcement and the one mentioning Butoden, not the manga spin-off or the one that clarifies replacement music). Jesus I don't know what's wrong with me.

Re: Dragon Ball FighterZ (Switch) Open Beta will be on the 10th!
I felt it played fine on Switch (though I haven't played it on anything else). My complaints were the long loading times when you first start it up and the lack of access to the vs computer mode which meant I couldn't adequately practice characters who weren't playable in training mode.
Re: Dragon Ball FighterZ (Switch) Open Beta will be on the 10th!
Has a one-on-one mode been confirmed?
Re: Dragon Ball FighterZ (Switch) Open Beta will be on the 10th!
And, clearly, a lot of people were waiting to play it on their objectively better console.Doctor. wrote:People have presumably played it on objectively better consoles.Brodes wrote:Why would it matter if it was "just" a port, though?

I'm not saying the PS4 and the Xbox One (and PC) are objectively better platforms to win some internet console war argument. I'm saying they're objectively better consoles to play FighterZ on because they don't suffer from the same framerate issues and poor online service the Switch port will most likely have, considering their track record with most multiplats that reach the system.Brodes wrote:And, clearly, a lot of people were waiting to play it on their objectively better console.Doctor. wrote:People have presumably played it on objectively better consoles.Brodes wrote:Why would it matter if it was "just" a port, though?
Obviously you'll buy and enjoy FighterZ if a Switch is your only option, but I'm sure that's not the case for most people posting here who have presumably played the PS4/XBO/PC version already.
Re: Dragon Ball FighterZ (Switch) Open Beta will be on the 10th!
I've got a PS4 at home. No switch, but my brother does. I'm a very casual gamer, so I'm considering buying it for switch if it's true that there's a 1 vs 1 mode.Doctor. wrote:I'm not saying the PS4 and the Xbox One (and PC) are objectively better platforms to win some internet console war argument.

I really hope that the 1v1 and 2v2 are labeled as exclusives in order to make more sales for the Switch (and eventually be added to the PS4/X1/PC versions after a few months).
