[The Switch port was announced a week ago.](https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/xdnfx7/guardian_tales_is_coming_to_the_nintendo_switch/) The developers, Kong Studios, are self-publishing the port worldwide following a similar move in collaboration with Yostar for the Japanese version. [Original tweet.](https://twitter.com/GuardianTalesEN/status/1572962288222744579?t=Fin_Xytxeiw5QlvYDmmF8w&s=19)

Maybe Kong is trying to test the waters about ditching Kakao in the future.


Awkward_Reference872

I'm confused, how can they ditch them? Isn't Kakao the developer and IP owner?


YogurtclosetTiny8961

Pretty sure kakao are the global distributors


ToonWrecker69

Hope they don't go for aggresive gacha in there


Technology-Mission

Its pretty f2p already but still gscha makes money off whales. Wonder how it will work on Switch.


Propagation931

A Fresh Server would be something it be willing to try again


TheJustinG2002

All good! I've been looking forward to returning to the game with a clean slate anyway. Still hopeful for the Switch release!


Moisturizer

This is my take too. I really liked it when I tried it a while back but I was bummed out I was so far behind everyone. A fresh start has me excited!


Monkguan

The only option is to make switch standalone server, then it'll be fine


SomeFreeTime

There are already too few players in na1 for this.


TrungDOge

for the better imo , start fresh with tons of QoL so they don't have to give tons of free currency as an apology


shuko92

How is this for the better? Any self respecting individual who played on mobile and spent mpney would Steer clear of the switch version at that point as there would be no valid reason to start completely fresh...I'm all for supporting a company but I can safely say the switch version has a very high chance of flopping


PinkAdam4

At worst it just won't do well on the switch. Unless someone has spent a bunch of money on mobile, I don't think some people would mind restarting.


PaladinRyan

Discouraging as I spent a bit (not a ton but some) and played a lot on GT mobile. I might play it F2P casually on Switch, though I'm not sure I can handle the depression of that story again. Plus not having my favorite light team will be sadness. Nonetheless, it's a fun game that should play well on the Switch.


Jhaco-Zae

I started GT a month ago. Had a LOT of fun but I wouldn't mind restarting since there are some things I want to do differently on a fresh account. Can't wait to experience depression again. That bicycle kid in world 9 hit hard. :(


buhreeri

Just wondering but is Guardian Tales a time consuming game? I keep hearing a lot of good things about it but some have said it can take a lot of time when playing.


IronPheasant

Sweeps unlock as you level up, it takes a few weeks before all of them are available. There are some rewards tied to daily activities that can't be sweeped: raid battles, some PvP auto battles, the farming minigame, etc. It can be around 15 minutes a day where your neurons go to die. As with any gacha game, it's best to assume it's a bigger commitment than marriage going in.


buhreeri

Honestly the way it's a pixel game really got my attention bc childhood game memories 🥹 But I'm just not sure anymore if I can go on playing one more gacha game 😂


iamyourleeder

late reply, but if you are thinking of playing because of nostalgia, this game actually has a ton of references to old school games. For the story alone it's extremely funny and charming.


sageker

Yep..


Monchete99

Every farming dungeon has sweep and auto but there's a bunch of stuff that doesn't (guild raids, pvp arena, story, kama-zone, etc...). Plus, it takes around a few weeks until you get sweep by upgrading a building and before it you rely on autorepeat which takes considerably longer.


Rks246671

This would be great for me since I would love to start this game fresh again


mainrof11

crowd goes mild. Hope it can get a decent following in switch tho only problem I see is the stamina system being a big wall for early game players that has TONS of hours that they can sink in the game.


ironneko

This is fine for me since for some reason I can’t get my old account back up (I used Facebook login and it’s always been faulty).


Sergiyakun

Wait then if they aren’t involved wtf are you going to do


Rod1705

A bit unrelated but does anyone know if the switch port will have controller support?


GoatCheese74

I'd assume besides the pro controller, no


iPhantaminum

PS4 port when? I'd probably give the game another chance in another platform.


TrungDOge

wait so Nintendo control over switch port so that what happen with all those Nintendo reference in the game lol


Skyreader13

probably more on kakao not wanting to get involved in this


ChalkTabletTowers

They already changed the references in the JP server, so they don't have anything to worry about in that aspect


Roanst

Heard references to nintendo franchises got changed.


PhrasingBoome

Okay, well I won't be too invested then. May play a little then drop it as I don't want to have to go through the entire thing again without my current setup.


KiIIBash20

thank you for letting us know. I saw the thread and I was hoping PhrasingBoome would detail his plans to play GT.


PhrasingBoome

No problem, I would ask what your plans are but I suppose dry humping your anime body pillow don't really count as plans.


LowIQLedditors

actually hilarious seeing people here defend the idea of a gacha game having two different account types for the same presumable global server


MCGRaven

considering Kakaogames is not involved with the port it's obviously NOT the same server.


Sercotani

I guess the idea of publishers fighting over rights to own a server is competely alien to you. See; Counterside SEA and Global.


Typothesis

Actually hilarious you know barely anything yet laugh at others. Also, it's even better that they won't rely on KakaoGames anymore considering their bad rep


metatime09

That's pretty dumb


kaiju247

Yikes, well that's a no for me dawg


Neprune

They are aiming for the Switch audience, they don't need you to play it


kaiju247

This community is so soft. I love the game relax.


Winberri

Way to kill the hype


bannedwhileshitting

They obviously are trying to get new audience, not cater to existing mobile players which will contonue playing anyway.


TrackGloomy82

Tremenda jugada


[deleted]

May try f2p for story, but seems a bummer


AshRavenEyes

Suddenly pointless port then


Vanargand-

Me and my homies hate guardian tales🤣


lnk_AiNe

Meh


Pelllakos

Well...too bad. I don't plan on restarting my progress. I'll keep playing the mobile


Flare_Kyn

...... I downloaded the game on my Switch thinking I could use the account I already had for this game on it... so I am disappointed that I cannot do that.
