Never thought a fighting game based on a fan game based on a TV show that aired from 2010 to 2019 based on a toy line would get this far but, I'm thrilled with that. Congrats!
Congrats to the Mane6 devs for how far they've come, I've been with them since the beginning and it is so surreal that they've made it this far, I couldn't be more happy for them
I've never been a huge fan of the MLP aesthetic, BUT I've gotta say: it's clear a LOT of passion went into this. It may not be my cup of tea, but the fact that it was able to be made is really great!
Been looking forward to this since it's initial planning. The devs have put a LOT of work into a good feeling fighting game, and keeping the art similar, while moving it away from the MLP:FIM franchise.
Went from a My Little Pony fangame called "My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic" that was screwed by the lawyers...to a full on console game! Lauren Faust herself joined Mane6 when "Fighting is Magic" got canceled. She deserves a great deal of thanks for allowing Them's Fighting Herds to get this far.

Wow. A much well beloved fighting game independently developed has made its way to the switch now. And to think, it came from the mad idea of making My Little pony: FIM a fighting game. Sweet. Here's hoping they actually do finish up that fighting game based on cereal characters. 😁
@@theoddronin1 Yup, their first fighting game was like a fan game for that show. It was called My Little Pony: FIGHTING is Magic, I believe. Just as fun as this game but ofc they couldn't get very far with already owned characters by Hasbro.
Seriously HUGE congrats to the developers! I haven't been big into MLP in years but I remember when this project first went into development and to see it releasing on the Switch with a trailer on Nintendo's official channel is HUGE.
Yeah but then Hasbro wasn’t very happy about it. I also wish Hasbro would’ve made the Power Rangers Dino Fury keys flip and the chromafury saber makes a few noises when you insert a key like in the show and the Japanese counterpart.🙁
I remember years ago having a booth right next to the developers showcasing this at Youmacon way back in 2019. It's great seeing local developers doing so well!
Definitely getting this game when I get off work and am looking forward to when the rest of the parts of the story mode get released and the dlc characters. It’s actually awesome that Lauren Faust helped out with the game.
*Former Bronies, REJOICE !* It finally came to the Switch too ! I still remember when Fighting is Magic was brand new and mini tournaments were held back then. It's been on Steam already, this game, for a few years now with constant changes and updates, but now that its on a console ? It's here to stay !
@@TripleSakaTrip will this also be in the Steam version? I don't check regularly. I have it on Steam and, tbh, find it hard to do the basic moves so haven't tried playing it again.. (But I hope to do so in time.)
For those who don’t know this was originally and my little pony fan fighting game with the characters of my little pony friendship is magic as the fighters. However hasbro stop the project citing the violent nature and not being able to in lore terms, explain why supposedly six friends were beating each other to a pulp. So the devs decided to rehash it into their own original game, this is really cool that a fan made game has not made it to a Nintendo Consol!
I hope this can be what finally give TFH all the recognition it truly deserves. I don't even play fighting games yet this is one of my favorites games of all time. It just is _that_ hecking good! ^w^
@@bravoalley228 A cease and desist notice is basically a warning. It's a corporate way of saying "hey, stop using our IP or we'll sue." Since the developers pivoted to using original characters and removed all the copyrighted content, Hasbro has no reason to sue them. They technically still complied with the cease and desist.
Ooooo!! I’ve had this on steam for AGES, like, since it first released, but I’ve barely been able to play it much because I freaking suck with a keyboard. This will be great!
Super excited to play this next week. I’m not a fan of My Little Pony or anything. But I’m a fan of fighting games. Especially ones based (loosely or otherwise) around IPs
I’ll be getting that game soon, it’s too bad that Hasbro was blinded they’re own griefs of their own IP to make a fight game from someone else, and now Mane 6 did make a successful game, published by MODUS
Yeah exactly. I just can't get down with the MLP aesthetic, I love the 2d art but it's MLP like characters are turning off from this game. I'm not a big fighting game guy anyway so I'm not to broken on not to buy it.
Love this game! The devs are amazing too, they deserve all the hype this is getting and then some. Btw this used to be mlp. Used. To be. Its not mlp anymore so people worried about playing a pony game dont need to be. There are no ponies. Just different herding animals and a snake dragon lmao
The game used to be an MLP fan game before Hasbro shut it down. Then Lauren Faust herself joined them to design new characters. It's a fascinating story. They of course kept "Mane 6" as their dev team name, since it was legally protected.
@@SmokeRulz I'm glad then because as someone who's a Brony fan for MLP:Fim and loves Lauren Faust for her work on that show; I'm excited for this game. And I hope she's gets more involve in the game industry and do fanmade games.
Narrator: it's time for "them's fightin herds", where there is no friendship and there isn't any magic but what they have are hoofs, paws and claws as they duke it out in any place they can fight in.
Congrats to the fine devs at Mane 6 who got this far! I backed this game on indiegogo back in 2015, and it's surreal to see it launching on consoles!
Nice!
Aww, agreed! ^^ That's so awesome, this felt so surreal and unexpected to see pop up in my notifications, it's so cool! XD

The news about when they got hit with the C&D, and then Lauren contacted them with "want some new characters?" was absolutely amazing.

Epic Lauren Faust. Now to see how it compares to Hasbro and the 3d gen. (Bet this game overshadowed their new direction. That'll be poetic justice!)
That’s new artwork though, and Texas saying the title! This is so hype!
Them's Fightin' Herds is so incredibly underated. I'm hoping console releases will give it the proper attention it deserves.
Did NOT expect story mode to be so nicely fleshed out with an explorable overworld!

A pony x street fighter game? LETS GO!!!!!!
They came so far. :’)
I love this game, the art style is eye candy and its so unique to look at, its like mlp but with different ungulates species also reminds me of disney
YES!!! I’ve been wanting a physical copy of this game for years!!
It's still unreal, seeing it develop all these years, that this is ON a Nintendo system.
I remember this, so cool
Still feels insane to see this launching on consoles and being on the official Nintendo channel yet again. LET'S GO MANE 6
Aw snap, it's coming out on console! No wonder I've barely seen hide or hair about it for the past few years.
THEY FINALLY DID IT!!!! THEY FINALLY DID IT!!!!!!!!!🎊🎊🥳🥳🥳
Legally distinct: the best kind of distinct
finally getting released for real. Awesome climb from back when it was still a MLP game. Congratz to Mane6 for all the great work.
This looks like it is just the game that i need, i wish i could buy it now
@Trent Hamsley smooth intro man
Ooooo!! I’ve had this on steam for AGES, like, since it first released, but I’ve barely been able to play it much because I freaking suck with a keyboard. This will be great!

Thank you
is this what fighting is magic turned into?
Yep!
Mane 6 finally made it to consoles!! Proud to have backed this game on Indiegogo years ago… now look where we are!!
To think this all started from Fighting is Magic, what a fantastic game!
To see where this Game's come from is truly a Special Story.
I'm so glad they finally finished this
It's an awesome fighting game :)
oh i heard about this years ago! i dont usually play games like this but i might have to change that
Mine is on the way rn
Damn an official game on console! Not bad for what initially started as a MLP fan game!
I'm not big into mlp anymore, but this game is actually fantastic. One of the better fighting games to come out recently. Music is also fantastic

Why does the physical have an update in GBs already?
Hasbro REALLY missed out on something great. Congrats to the team this is awesome!
I backed this game but am not good at it
Happy to see their success
It’s actually a really good & fun game. Too bad I can’t get past the ponies & bronies. However, to those that aren’t bothered by it give it a try
i mean the art was litterly done by laruan fuast who pretty much made gen 4 of mlp (dont qoute me on that)

What if them’s fightin’ herds had a 2v2 mode like velvet and tianhuo vs oleander and paprika
Finally, somebody brought their MLPFIM fanfic to life!

It used to be mlp, its entirely different from it now. In no way is this related to mlp anymore so you'll probably enjoy it more anyway

And now it includes Nidra and Baihe as well.
