Why though? Numerous Switch games have rollback. If BBCTB can get it on PS4, it can get it on Switch as well... and I don't even play online much! :P
If a DLC pack for it drops at the same time it certainly will.
They've probably seen the numbers and figured it wasn't worth it.
I wonder if system processing power has anything to do with the platforms this will be implemented on. CF rollback being PC only makes me think Arc doesn't want to bother with going back and updating the PS3 version (since that has crossplay with the PS4 version) and the Switch is in the same ballpark power-wise.
I only have Central Fiction for PS4 and I'm not buying another copy, so they better get their act together. lol

Seems like it =(
It sucks because that's the one i'd actually go and pick up again
Same. Really didn't like BBTAG but adored CF even though the online wasn't as active when I got it.
That's the problem though, with 7000 peak concurrent players on Steam, Namco doesn't care. We'll be extremely lucky to have it for the next opus unless manchild Harada miraculously changes his mind.
What kind of absolute dumb decision is that.... everyone asks for CF and ps4 only gets tag
Picking these two up whenever they go on sale next! I'll support any fighting game with rollback netcode.
Aren't they a bit low on manpower ? Having to do CF (PC), Tag (PC and PS4), Perhaps DNF in the meantime while supporting Strive if they plan to do crossplay... I don't know which team does what, but that's a lot...

I'm pretty sure Eighting is doing most of the legwork for DNF Duel, but you overall have a point.
As a dev from Digital Eclipse once said (when speaking about SamSho Neo Geo Collection), the Switch CPU isn't the best for handling rollback, especially when the game wasn't designed for it originally.
This is why the online in that game and SF30th on Switch is not as good as other platforms and probably why the Nickelodeon Brawl game on Switch can only handle rollback in 1v1.
The only game I care about out of the 2 is BBTag. Pretty surprised that it got a QoL change in a new netcode.
Your move Namco. Capcom, NRS, ASW and SNK among others are doing rollback. Please get with the times, I'm begging you.

They're probably prioritizing where they say their larger player bases at.
Same with Namco and Fighterz and I have to imagine that's even more of a struggle. lol
Then do only CF not Tag as CF is by far the more wanted game out of those
might be some of the ACPR people which was small in of itself. also depends on what Arcsys themselves requested to prioritize, like we see SNK doing with the code mystics team.
Huh. I guess games like ARMS which have it are able to properly utilize it because it was built for it, might be why Sakurai was against adding it to Smash since it wasn't built for it, but was it being harder overall why he didn't to begin with?
Smash doesn't have rollback netcode because it was developed by Bandai Namco, a company that has never used it before or after for anything, ever.
If Smash was developped before Covid, the response is as usual with many of those devs : "We don't care, delay netcode works well enough in Japan. Deal with it."
Unless there is someone in the higher ups really caring about its customers, tough luck. It was Bandai Namco so no chance in hell.
Smash is made in part by Bamco. So good luck with getting rollback of any kind from them.
Hype. CF and CTB are so much fun.
I can't see them going through all the pain to add it to Xrd when they want GG fans buying Strive and it's DLC.

Huh, thought BN used rollback in something by now. ARMS doesn't count despite their involvement as it was at its core an EPD project. But still. Odd.
With Strive in the spotlight, I don't see this happening any time soon.
Might be just me, but I feel that's more likely than Relink making 2022. Anyway if it does happen, it might be announced/shown off this weekend at GBFes.
