To make matters worse, Arc System Works didn’t really state a concrete date for release. Leaving the release date as just 2019. However, it’s safe to assume that we’ll see this Guilty Gear XX Nintendo Switch port during the first quarter of 2019.

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R was originally launched for arcades and was ported to the PSVita and PC. The Nintendo Switch port will include some enhancements and balance adjustments added to the base game. The game will also include solo and online modes with plenty of extra material to keep the player entertained for a long time.
