Unfortunately publisher Dotemu has hit a problem and it's not arrived as expected on Nintendo Switch it seems to be the only affected platform. X Nightmare DLC has been well anticipated it'll add a survivor mode, three new characters and new moves to spice up the game. Original Story (Fri 16th Jul, 2021): Streets of Rage 4 has plenty of eager fans, so the launch of today's major Mr. Painful as it may be, the wait will be worth it. While this is obviously disappointing for players desperate to tuck into the DLC, perhaps reading our hands-on impressions might help the wait go by that bit quicker. We cannot bypass this step so there's nothing else we can do but wait with you guys. We have absolutely no decision power nor control over the validation process. To be honest with you, we're devastated and we did everything we could to get the DLC launched before the weekend.
