The event ran September 20, 2026. Nakamura, who voices Cain, picked his own character in training mode and ran combos using Smart Style, which lets players perform moves with simple inputs. The developers described an arcade mode continuing the previous game's story plus episodes covering its ending and the characters' daily lives. During a look at Salvatore Ganacci, the team said he arranges techniques learned from Terry, and that a crouching attack reproduces movements from a music video. Near the end, SNK announced the Nintendo Switch 2 digital version is scheduled for October 22, 2026, with the packaged version on January 21, 2027. Manjiro Sano and Ken Ryuguji from the Tokyo Revengers TV anime will join in Season Pass 3. Nakamura called basic combos easy and said the game is extremely easy to play.","whyItMatters":"SNK used a stage built around its own voice cast to date the Switch 2 version and confirm two Tokyo Revengers fighters for Season Pass 3, putting the port's release and the next guest roster in the same segment.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eNakamura picked Cain, the character he voices, in training mode and set Cristiano Ronaldo as the opponent.
