Pony Shantae, anyone?Īs for the new MLP game coming to Switch, it just looks basic. And see which of their characters would appear as ponies. It would be awesome to see how would they shape Equestria to their vision. Matt Bozon has expressed he and his team were fans of FiM. It's kinda sad that there wasn't an epic FiM game made by WayForward. One less PC game to get when I eventually get a PC.

The only one that is remotely 'pony' is the unicorn, and a dark one on that. Imagine at least having a Yu-Gi-Oh-ish (damn, that's a lot of hyphens) digital incarnation of MLPCCG on Switch!Īnyone that have had their hands on Fighting is Magic can identify who is who in Them's Fightin' Herds.

Alas, they got ahead of themselves, pulled in excessive publicity like signing the product up for EVO and got predictably torpedoed by Hasbro lawyers as a result. TFH has been on my wishlist for years but I felt admittedly hesitant to invest in a fighting game on PC where even local multiplayer can be a headache (especially on my current laptop whose lower USB port count and lack of built-in Bluetooth suggests I might not even connect two gamepads at a time).įor the record, the game isn't just inspired by MLPFiM - it started out as a fanmade MLP game. Holy cow (no pun intended), can't believe THIS of all waits may be over. Would you be interested in this game coming to the Nintendo Switch? Leave a comment down below. Among dozens of items, players can obtain fermented grape juice and a bottle of champagne costume items include cigarettes/pipes with wisps of smoke.' Fights are highlighted by impact sounds, light effects, and cries of pain. Battles are presented as stylized one-on-one fights, with animal characters punching, kicking, and using special moves (e.g., lasso toss) to deplete opponents' health bar. Players explore dungeon locations, search for an artifact, and encounter cartoony enemies (e.g., wolves, snakes, bears) to fight.

'This is an action game in which players assume the role of a pony-like character battling evil forces. The ESRB has rated this game E10+ and it contains 'alcohol reference, fantasy violence, use of tobacco'.
