The team at Arc system Works have said in a development post on their website that they are considering how much longer they will develop and nurture Guilty Gear Strive on the Nintendo Switch due to the platform’s obvious hardware constraints. Arc System Works haven’t explicitly stated that they are ending support for the platform, but they suggest it could eventually happen as the game becomes more complex with future updates etc. Here’s what they said:
“Finally, regarding the future of GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- Nintendo Switch Edition.
Developing and operating the game on Nintendo Switch required a great deal of effort and ingenuity to work within hardware constraints. Based on that experience, we are currently examining what form future updates beyond Version 2.0 could take for the Nintendo Switch Edition.
Please note that feasibility will depend not only on technical challenges, but also on how far we can push ourselves as a development team, as well as on feedback and support from our players. All of these factors will be taken into account as we make our decisions.”
Just like Factorio, Space Age wasn’t released on the Switch due to technical constraints; they made a Switch 2 edition. They’re going to do the same here: abandon the Switch version to focus on the Switch 2 version. Can we blame them? No
Rest in piss. They ruined the series with the awful Bridget retcon, dividing the facts between people who just wanna play the game and Twitter freaks who want everything to be political. Bridget is a dude, and Daisuke Ishiwatari is a sellout who isn’t gonna get my money again unless he walks it back.
gonna cry?
He has a point there, not only because of Bridget. The game is a joke, the story dumbed down and the gameplay boring and broken beyond repair. Just let it die and move on. it is not only the nonsense changes with Bridget to “please” the “modern gamers”, the whole thing is breaking apart. It really reminds me to the last installment of Tekken, which was such a disaster (in my eyes.)
The gaming industry really need a good and heavy crash to wake them up. Days of DEI and other nonsense bull are over. This is not selling anymore, especially because of the price of 80 bucks.
Like 50% of the “femboys” in real life are closeted trans women, I don’t know how you people see this character development some CRAZY ABSURD DEI WOKE change, she was already a queer character anyway
These people literally have nothing better to do than complain about “dEi” or “wOkEnEsS”. They really deluded themselves into thinking that’s a real problem. Pathetic.
Just make a Switch 2 version already and be done with it. It’s not rocket science.
