A Nintendo Switch 2 release window was not announced with the developer simply stating that it’s coming soon. To whet fans appetites, SEGA unleashed a brand new trailer showcasing the content-packed game which you can watch down below.

- Along the way, you’ll encounter formidable foes, including CPUs based on world-renowned players.
- Climb up the ranks and claim the title of world champion!
I don’t really play fighting games, but I’m happy for those who do!
I haven’t given this enough thought up till now, but it’s looking like even SEGA is looking at the Switch 2 as a platform to put more major games on. I don’t expect RGG’s Project 1942 or whatever to come to the platform but I think pretty much all Atlus, Sonic, and Yakuza titles have a real shot of being ported. I’m waiting to see more from CAPCOM but it’s good to see meaningfully more games from big Japanese and even Western publishers.
