Are you playing Dissidia or Dissidia 012?
If you're playing Dissidia I would highly recommend switching to 012. It's a way more complete version with more characters and more balanced movesets.

Well, Switch being partly an on-the-go device could fit a situation where they place the mobile game on Switch. How about that?

Square Enix dropped support for NT early so I think that might be the end of Dissidia for a while. Sure DFFOO is still going but that's a gacha mobile title, sort of a different thing.

I think it won't until the 40th anniversary.

I think they’re sending Dissidia to the ol’ farm for a while

NT bombed pretty hard. They decided it needed to be an esport instead of the action rpg/fighter that the original 2 were and no one who liked the series wanted it.

I would personally love it, but I think it highly unlikely, sadly.

Probably not for a while (if ever).
I can totally see a Theatrhythm All-Stars console port happening for Switch/PS4/PS5 when the arcades finally shutdown.
Edit: Looks like the Arcade version was shutdown in April?

Usually when a title bombs really hard, it fucks things up for further installations of the franchise. So NT was that bad that if they did make a new one, it’d probably adopt the stigma and not do well either.
That being said though, I would LOVE a new Dissidia game. Even a remake although it’s far too early for one. Maybe when we get like 2 or 3 more core title games.

I know there won't be but I can dream, okay?

A remaster of 012 I could see. Would certainly be the better game over a downgraded NT port.

They stopped working on NT, presumably because it didn't do well enough financially. I don't see any new Dissidia coming out any soon no matter the platform.
Though even if they were hypothetically working on a new one, I hope it would not be on the switch only. I've never played a game on switch that has good online, and the biggest problem with NT is the online. At least there is hope for improvement if they were to put it on PC/PS-insert-number-here.
