Quite surprising news. Definitely going to buy 13 Sentinels on Day 1 for the Switch. I was really hoping for the game to be ported to the Switch, so this news is quite pleasing.

Yeah like not buying it, since people are fine with doing that with Switch games for whatever reason.
I know it's hard for some of y'all not to conflate emulation and piracy, which continues to be odd cause you can play pirated games on the console itself, but they literally said "buying it on Switch".
I think having it portable is great and I'm happy to see this game have potential to reach an entirely new audience, but the impact of this game's visuals viewed on a big screen shouldn't be understated. Vanillaware's art is incredible, never before have I been so enraptured by the visuals of a 2D game.
While I would've preferred having it on Switch, I just picked it up for $13 from GameStop so you won't catch me complaining. I'm glad that the game will be able to reach a wider audience, given all the massive praise I've heard for it. Can't wait to find the time to experience it myself.
User Banned (5 Days): Equating emulation with piracy over multiple posts
The former is in most cases easier than the latter, that's why.
If it tanks on a PS4, I'm sure they can make it run perfectly smooth on the Switch! /s
Awesome, I'm still disappointed they canceled the Vita version because the game took so long to come out. =/ I was looking to possibly pick this up for PS4 finally but I'll just wait on the switch version.
In the past I've also been duped by other users into "asking questions" about Switch software emulation which led to getting banned, too.
Good times.
Happy for fans of the game, it seems interesting from what has been said and will definitely grab it for Switch when I can. If anything the threads about it deter potential buyers like me because it really does seem like the less you know the better time you will have, yes?

It's a one of a kind sort of game. Best not to know the tricks it has up its elaborate, intricately calculated sleeve.
I'm vey concerned about the performance here.
I'll still buy it for Switch, but I am still concerned...

Sweet news! Will definitely pick this up!
And Odin Sphere Leifthrasir? Plus Muramasa Rebirth from Vita?
Me too.
It still boggles the mind why Japanese 3rd party publishers like Bandai Namco & Atlus just straight up ignores putting their games like Persona 5: The Royal on Switch, the most popular platform while always pandering to PlayStation, in which the entire brand is in decline over in Japan.

Pretty stoked about this, dragons crown for vita was one of my last vanillaware joints and heard this got canceled for vita, could never find a physical for my ps5 since launch almost jumped on black sale but my SwitchOLED sense was tingling as i prefer it for these sorts of games these days!
I will not hesitate for a physical copy on switch this time around patience + backlog is key :)

Switch version has 26 additional Skills, two per character.

Megumi seems to have good armor penetrating abilities now which was here main weakness considering she didn't have Leg Spikes like the other G4s so she'll have more versatility. Ryoko seems to be able to straight up take control of enemy units so she's probably even more overpowered. Renya has a teleport that lets him move him and allies but I can't think of a good use for that. Nenji and Sekigahara have some AoE ranged abilities now (though only ground based) so they have some more versatility I suppose though I don't think they're good enough to change things much. The rest all seem like they're good updates in terms of stats but nothing that should change strategy compared to vanilla unless there are other balance changes. Nothing that fixes how G3 still seems completely underpowered and not particularly useful compared to the rest.
Also, it sounds like this is the only change in content compared to the PS4 version. And the screen shots make it look like the enemy count is also the same.

Perfect game for the Switch. Got my platinum though, so won't be returning to it, but highly recommend it to those who haven't tried it yet. An absolute gem of the last generation.

Will these updates make it to the PS4 version as well?

? Missile rain and Big Missile clear 99% on the enemies in one go.
They take too much EP/WT. Spamming interceptors/sentries to take down smaller enemies with G2/G4 and having G1s jumping around the map with Leap and attacking large enemies using Demolisher Blade after Limiter is much more effective.
Literally Natsuno and Tomi with Homing Missile alone are always my MVP, if anything I would rank the two of them so far above the others and they're both Gen 3.
Held off and held off and held off buying this in hopes of a switch port...
...finally bought it on the Friday literally the day before they announced it for 19 from gamestop. So you can all thank me for that.
Luckily I didn't open it, so no harm done. Just gotta return it.
I have a bunch of other stuff to play first, so I don't mind paying more and waiting for a bit.

I saw in the other thread. Grabbing it with my JP account and hoping the language barrier isn't too much for me.
Fantastic game, and one of my favorites of last year! For me, it's might be Vanillaware's best game, although I've loved all of them!
It's one of the few games I actually beat last year from my massive backlog of titles. I highly recommend it!

Yep, we get it 12th April, two days earlier than Japan for some reason
Good to hear. Now I can't wait for April!
Thanks! I won't complain :D
