In the game, you must take down your opponent with nothing but the force of your shaking buttocks, in real life. Ketsu Battler is also available on Switch 2 via backwards compatibility, but players have discovered a strange bug that wrecks the game\u2019s balance, giving your dump truck even more power than it\u2019s supposed to have<strong>.<\/strong> The devs have appropriately nicknamed it the \u201cExtreme\u201d Ketsu Battler edition.<br>In a recent viral X post, they also suggested that the cause of the bug may be the console\u2019s improved specifications. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"591\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250612-489850001.jpg\" alt=\"Ketsu Battler gameplay.\" class=\"wp-image-48987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250612-489850001.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250612-489850001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250612-489850001-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The premise of Ketsu Battler is simple \u2013 you and your opponent will have a butt-off. You control your butt swordsman character by sticking a Joy-Con in your pants so that it\u2019s supported by the waistband, or you can squeeze it between your cheeks if you\u2019re feeling adventurous enough (Just kidding, let\u2019s not do that). Your booty shakes translate to the swings of your sword, and the more vigorously you twerk and work your butt, the more power will build up, allowing you to unleash a special move and crush your opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recently discovered bug when running the game on the Switch 2 seems to push these mechanics to the max, according to Japanese speed runner Koh-So. On their<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/koh_cassida\/status\/1932066782514479450\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> X account<\/a>, they reported that the Switch 2 version of the game is strangely fast \u2013 the way gauges fill up, the sword swinging and even the special moves seem to be much faster and way more chaotic when compared to the original Switch release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u3010\u304a\u3057\u3089\u305b\u3011<br>Switch2\u3067\u300c\u30b1\u30c4\u30d0\u30c8\u30e9\u30fc\u300d\u3092\u30d7\u30ec\u30a4\u3059\u308b\u3068\u3001\u30b1\u30c4\u304c\u60f3\u5b9a\u3088\u308a\u3082\u5f37\u304f\u306a\u308a\u3059\u304e\u308b\u73fe\u8c61\u304c\u78ba\u8a8d\u3055\u308c\u3066\u304a\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002<br><br>\u672c\u4f53\u6027\u80fd\u304c\u9ad8\u307e\u308a\u3059\u304e\u305f\u5f71\u97ff\u3068\u601d\u308f\u308c\u307e\u3059\u304c\u3001\u691c\u8a3c\u306b\u6642\u9593\u3092\u8981\u3059\u308b\u305f\u3081\u3001\u3057\u3070\u3089\u304f\u306e\u9593Switch2\u3067\u306f\u30a8\u30af\u30b9\u30c8\u30ea\u30fc\u30e0\u30b1\u30c4\u30d0\u30c8\u30ebedition\u3068\u3057\u3066\u304a\u697d\u3057\u307f\u3044\u305f\u3060\u3051\u307e\u3059\u3068\u5e78\u3044\u3067\u3059\u3002 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qk5dFrCX7V\">pic.twitter.com\/qk5dFrCX7V<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30b1\u30c4\u30d0\u30c8\u30e9\u30fc\u3010\u30b3\u30df\u30c3\u30af\u30b91\u5dfb4\/28\u767a\u58f2\uff01\u3011 (@KetsuBattler) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KetsuBattler\/status\/1932619907692441720?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 11, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The devs seem to have investigated the problem, and their conclusion was \u2013 the Switch 2 specs are just too high. \u201cIt\u2019s been confirmed that if you play Ketsu Battler on the Switch 2, your butt will become unexpectedly overpowered,\u201d they wrote. The devs also promised that they would continue their investigation, but due to the Switch 2 being a brand-new console, they might need a bit more time before they manage to find the actual root of the problem.
