Yay?
I didn't buy it but I guess I am glad other people did.
Start porting all your shit, Capcom.
Gimme Dragon's Dogma and RE 4 and RE 5

Yeah that's all this really means.

Wasn't the PS4 version of Street Fighter V at like 1.6 million sales in May?
What is their qualification of Smash hit here?
Could this actually outsell that?

Whatever "smash hit" means, it doesn't mean "over a million copies sold, at the very least, since it's missing from the Capcom Platinum list. I imagine they're contextualising the game as a cheap-ish port that sold decently.
Doubt the game has sold more than 1m copies worldwide. A 'smash hit' for USF2 could be 500k.

Maybe they thought 40 dollars for an enhanced version of SF2 was as silly as some of us and they saw it sold more than a hundred thousand and were surprised.
Probably. It hovered around 4th in the switch top ten NPD in May and June IIRC.
Edit - now how about an RE4 or SF4 port, something I'd actually buy (again)
That and Capcom forecasted 2 million sales for RE7 but it's only done 200k so far.
"Nintendo fans need to start buying 3rdParty games for more supports"
*3rdParty game sells well*
"Shame on you people"
lol
I would agree with you if this was a truly bad game though - but its actually quite solid, the price was the issue but it did well regardless.

That's what happens when you sell overpriced shit for very inexpensive work.

I've been meaning to buy this game. Price is still a bit too high.
For buying the game?

For real tho, Dragon's Dogma would be an amazing choice for the Switch.

In a capcom boardroom recently, they concluded that they don't need to put effort in to switch titles then.
What a catch 22 for switch fans.

Well, I highly doubt this game' success will translate into the kind of support people (aka Nintendo fans) expect from Capcom so...

Get ready for overpriced remasters. Capcom must now think Nintendo fans will buy overpriced games from them.
If Capcom is looking for a low-to-mid budget game to further test the waters on the Switch, I would humbly suggest that they make a new Powerstone game with a few new characters/maps and online play.
Also, I would easily purchase a Viewtiful Joe collection with 1, 2, and Double Trouble. Just sayin'...

lower the price to 15 bucks and you'll see Capcom
I've actually never played RE4, so I wouldn't mind lol. Bring it to the Switch eshop for 10 bucks and I'll bite.
As for SF2, can we get a price drop now Capcom? This game shouldn't have even launched at that price point.
Also, if your gonna stick to porting games Capcom, games like Okami, Viewtiful Joe collection, Onimusha collection, etc. would be great to have.

Going by previous consoles ? It should've got tremendous support. Capcom and Nintendo clearly messed up something.
There are many games that should've released instead of this 10 years old overpriced port.
Ryu's Hadouken Training, exclusive to Switch, $60. Comes with Wii Zapper attachment.
Thanks to everyone who took the bullet.
This plus Street fighter 3 online and Powerstone 1/2 pack, please.

Hopefully not 40 dollar priced romhacks of games that sold for 15 dollars on release almost a decade ago?
It was 25 on Prime Day. Still didn't buy it though.
That would be the logical conclusion for any company. You never know with Capcom though.

Read this and last page to get an idea.
Lock and load! Time to pump enemies full of fire balls!
I think you're expecting too much from Capcom.
So we are expecting to see SF2 on PS4/ONE and PC?
That's not a port begging, i'm talking about this http://www.siliconera.com/2017/01/2...e-platforms-sells-extremely-well-says-capcom/

I spit on the people who purchased this.
The $40 price point is just there to take advantage of new Switch owners.

Yes for $15.
If at all only Capcom messed up - Nintendo is doing just fine and Capcom will have to come around at some point. Unless you think there wont be a portable MH this generation and they ported the REngine to Switch just for fun.
Most people in this thread are asking for RE titles (running gang and expected) as well as other old Capcom Fighting IPs. Sounds reasonable to me.
Good to know we were a test for other systems.

Am I ?
Looking at DS/3DS/Wii/GC, not really.
I mean, 3DS was announced with amazing support from Capcom: 2 exclusive Resident Evil games, a nice port of SSFIV on launch day. Not counting Monster Hunter and Ace Attorney.
USFII could've been replaced by Ace Attorney 1-6, Resident Evil 4-5-6, Okami HD, Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3, Resident Evil Rebirth-0 or many more old titles.
It's also up to Nintendo to ask 3rd parties for things. I mean, KH3D happened on 3DS because Nintendo asked for it actually.

Not to defend Capcom, but like most of their current gen portfolio consists of ports, outsourcing, and exclusives. I'm sure they'd be more all over the Switch if they could, but they're REALLY hurting right now.
