Should I just give up on hoping for Power Stone 3 on the Switch now?

Wish I had a switch.
Yes sf2 on switch is a stupid over priced port.
Capcom messed up the art a long time ago.
It doesn't mean it's worse than sf4 to me though. Just bad price and bad additives.
As a BoF fan, I don't really trust modern capcom with a sequel. What team could they possibly field with the chops to do it?
Agreed. Also thanks to the mods for updating the thread title.

Just when you think Capcom has changed you realize it's still a shit show.
EXACTLY!
Forget about Viewtiful Joe, I still want Dead Phoenix! Seemed like a (future) Kid Icarus: Uprising meets Legendary Wings.
Back on-topic: seems like many of us (me included) overreacted again based on a misleading initial translation, going by the change in thread title? In any case: I hope Capcom makes some smart decisions about their Switch support by looking at which games - old IP's especially - would fit well with a Nintendo audience. Ideally they'd base this on the rest of the Switch's current lineup, on which first party games worked well on Wii U, on current trends with regards to multiplayer features that stimulate community building, and on which IP have been long in demand. (Like I mentioned before, I'd start with Mega Man and Ghouls 'n Ghosts if I were them, along with Monster Hunter.)
Yes, it's very unlikely they meant Street Fighter would determine in their Switch support.
I suspect they meant something along the lines of "We're looking at how the hardware is doing, what types of games are selling well, how our own game is selling, demographics, and more to determine what exactly we should be making for the platform.", but that answer is kind of long winded for this type of interview.
That said, the game will probably determine whether or not they try more expensive enhanced retro ports.

I don't get it really, the 3DS has loads of support from Capcom it seemed. At least some dedicated exclusives. What gives?
Different company, dude.
Yeah, Komani, not Cacpom.

Capcom is Konami is Capcom is Konami forever
I REALLY hope that they don't just release a bunch of old games and call that support. If that's all they're gonna do, then they shouldn't even bother. They have a lot of games coming out relatively soon that they could port over that would be more exciting.
I figured since this is a Wii era thread it could do with at least one Wii era joke.

What a shame. Thats like if Sony stopped making PS4 games because we didn't like Knack.

*sigh* Really Capcom? How about using this SF game to determine if future SF games are a good fit for the Switch instead? How about you try a game that isn't an old port (over priced at that) to determine if the Switch will work for you guys.

So basically, ignore Street Fighter 5 on switch, have this old fucking title.
It sounds like SF 5 is not that great but i assume it would be a better thing for switch now than any time in the future.

Komani = Capcom = Konami

Actually Street Fighter V has finally turned into a pretty great game. I picked it up on Steam when more features and characters were available and I'm glad I waited. The launch was a big screwup though and really hurt the game.
SF5 is a Sony console exclusive. A better idea would have been USF4, SFA anthology, SF3 collection, a marvel vs capcom collection...etc.

or RE7
You are talking about a company that released a Power Stone Collection on the PSP on the eve of the Wii debut and didn't even bother releasing it on the Wii (or any other platform for that matter...)

"Cites the DS/Wii as examples of hardware with explosive hardware sales that at the start of their cycles did well thanks to Nintendo showing others how to make games fitting of the hardware, while third parties originally struggled on these platforms and didn't sell very well"
Nice to hear this assessment from a CEO and not a poster labeled a fanboy.
Ironically, Capcom DID have a grasp on Wii pretty early on with Zack and Wiki.
Sadly, this suggests Capcom (along with many others it seems) will be late to the Switch party - post e3 "doomed" threads incoming.

They're not though. Not entirely.
Capcom makes the dumbest corporate choices sometimes.
As mentioned earlier, SFV is a PS4 console exclusive.

I think you should give up hope for any Capcom games on Switch moving forward. This reads to me like a statement saying, "Even though DS and Wii hardware sold a billiondy units, our games didn't sell well enough."
So they don't trust that even though the Switch is moving pretty good hardware numbers that it will translate at all into Capcom game sales. Ultra Street Fighter II was throwing Switch owners a bone and unless they bite really hard, that will likely be Capcom's end of support for the system.

This is crushing news specially after CAPCOM supported the 3DS so well 😢
Cant blame them though

So MonHun 5 is PS4 exclusive then.
And what does that mean? If it sells bad they won't support it and if it does well they will cater to people that don't mind throwing out 40 bucks for SF2, a.k.a the Wii crowd. (and some enthusiasts...)

Somebody need to ask him about a re clarification on this statement. Yall journalists should get in touch and ask again cause this dont make sense. If it remains true then ask him why.
They just don't wanna port Mega Man over, amirite.

If that's all they do I will be super happy. Anything else that happens I would be icing on the cake.

Also if Knack cost $1200
But what kind of bluff is this? I think the amount of people who would go out buying SF2 even though they find it too expensive, just so capcom will release other stuff is fairly low.

Fucking Capcom. I wish they'd sell Megaman to Nintendo.
I would totally get Dragon's Dogma on Switch.
Really not interested in most of their other products,
MonHun is also something I'd like to see more of.
RE, I'm not interested in buying again re4, I probably have more copies of that game than of SMB3!
I don't know bring back Contra or something.

Don't get me wrong, I'd buy it on the Switch in a heartbeat, but Capcom seems to like the 50 mil install base of PS4 more than the Switch's. They didn't even give us a Resi4 remake. How sad is that?

Silly thread, Nintendo altered the Switch hardware itself at Capcom's request so they clearly have plans for it. Chill.

But this is Capcom we're talking about though.
So why have they announced nothing for the Switch, except for a port of a game almost no one wanted?
