I love when they do exclusive characters to games. Need more of it. Lets hope this game is sold at a good price. Switch over priced it big time.

would be awesome if they allowed for cross platform play, the Switch game is fantastic but the online mode is rather hard to find games to play at times, cross platform with those that want it would solve that issue.
