Support NeoGAF

[OfficerRaichu15]

Determine their support off a overpriced port of a 25 year old game and were reported for asking Nintendo to strengthen the Switch....
What?

 

[TheMoon]

A 3DS Super Street Fighter 4 upport with Evil Ryu and Violent Ken. /s

But apart from that I would expect some form of Resident Evil, Monster Hunter and maybe an original IP like Zack & Wiki.

Spyborgs 2 confirmed.

 

[El Topo]

Does this ever work?

Who knows? No harm in trying.

 

[LiK]

Just put MonHun on Switch and watch it sell like crazy.

 

[N.Grim]

Test game A:

Success.
Follow up game:


Test game B:

Success.
Follow-up game:


So, what will the lame USF2 follow-up be?

Street Fighter V

Spoiler

sorry

 

[SgtCobra]

Capcom what the hell are you doing

 

[KingBroly]

Street Fighter V

Spoiler

sorry

Maybe when they actually complete it.

"Also the development of their current I.P and new I.P means they have even less time to bring back old titles."

This is the line that gets to me the most actually. The reason why they now have old IP and current/new IP is because they themselves let popular IP, i.e. ones that people like us ask them for to this day like Mega Man, Final Fight, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Dino Crisis, Onimusha etc., become inactive and as such "old". This is why Resident Evil and Street Fighter (despite its long abscence) are still relevant even as "old" IP (or why Nintendo managed to keep Mario and Zelda relevant all these years).

If they had kept up a better mix of familiar and new IP throughout the years instead of continuously pumping out RE games or things like Lost Planet and Dead Rising that many people burned out on (or MH which continues to underperform in the West due to it being tied to handhelds), then we wouldn't be speaking in these terms of "old" and "new" for the most part in other words.

If they truly wanted to test the viability of Switch, they should have released a title that fits with (oldschool and new) Nintendo consumers of all ages. A Mega Man of Ghouls 'n Ghosts reboot or sequel, or even a MH game, would have served that purpose far better than yet another "Darkstalkers test" in the form of a re-release of an old done to death game like SFII, especially a version with a divisive at best updated art style. I love SFII to death but even I am not really interested in picking up this version because of how Udon's art permeates it (in the menus and such even if you choose the old sprite art in the options) and the overall lacklustre package.

If they want Switch owners and Nintendo fans to embrace them once more, they have to give something back by putting some actual effort into the game they use as a test case, not choose the cheapest and easiest way out and expect tons of support and sales in return. I never thought I'd say this but Konami really approached this better than Capcom did so far with Super Bomberman R.

Tbf Konami actually did something right for once with bomberman and it paid off, just hope the game will open their eyes

 

[marmoka]

They are still angry because Sakurai treated Megaman better by far, than them in the latest years.

Capcom has no money now. They have to make sure whatever they make especially if its an original entry/game is gonna be worth it. I bet they are 2 or 3 bombs away from going under or being bought out.

 

[faridmon]

And?

You are not helping your case with a patronising comment like that

One is new and the other is a port of a 30 year old game, there is no ''And'' to it. Its pretty much self-explanatory

 

[FreedomFighter]

Hahahahaha!

Let's overcharge 40$ for a 8 years old game that we sold for 15$ back then and we'll evaluate based on this.

Right? Good luck with that Capcom. Pulling a EA on us with this bs.

 

[AuthenticM]

They should port Dino Crisis to the Switch (and PC).

 

[CANLI]

wait, only €30 in France?!

28 if you are a (free) premium member.

 

[Neoxon]

Street Fighter V

Spoiler

sorry

Sony has that game on lock-down for consoles. And honestly, I'd take SFV on Switch with the same DLC as the others over USFII.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Any sane person would.

 

[Neoxon]

Any sane person would.

You'd be surprised. But again, Sony has the game on lock-down.

 

[Dierce]

Monster Hunter becoming a PS4 exclusive?

Spoiler

Of course not.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

lol Capcom.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Maybe we'll get Street Fighter II Darkside Chronicles on-rails shooter from Capcom is Ultra SFII does well.

 

[Pinky]

In regards to Switch, Capcom will think of how to support the Switch while looking at how Street Fighter 2 does on the system in May

Oh, c'mon! I mean, I plan to pick this up, but using USF2 as any type of gauge to determine if future support is warranted is way beyond stupid. Capcom's trolling hard.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

I'd take sf2 over 4 and 5 any time.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

It doesn't say anything with clarity


How to support could mean they change pricing models or type of games.

This thread is ridiculous


Just lock it up if people can't even understand

 

[VariantX]

That makes no sense. You don't judge how well a port for an old game does in order to determine support for new hardware.

They sure did base darkstalkers future on a couple of old ports. Fuckin' Capcom

 

[DrROBschiz]

Dear Capcom

Monster Hunter Switch

Dragons Dogma Switch

Breath of Fire revival (BOF6 was so offensive i dont know where to begin)

 

[sixteen-bit]

They should port Dino Crisis to the Switch (and PC).

Jawmuncher's alt?

 

[yurinka]

Ultra Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 and Rocketmen: Axis of Evil ($40 each) confirmed for Switch?

 

[Calm Mind]

I'd take sf2 over 4 and 5 any time.

I question your sanity.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Dear Capcom

Monster Hunter Switch

Dragons Dogma Switch

Breath of Fire revival (BOF6 was so offensive i dont know where to begin)

I'm honestly surprised they didn't announce a Dragon's Dogma port.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

I question your sanity.

I actually like good or tolerable art styles.

 

[PantsuJo]

I'd take sf2 over 4 and 5 any time.

I hope you are taking about a good version of SF2 (there are a lot, on different platforms).

Because this one is trash. Eurogamer had the courage to judge it simple and clear: "AVOID".

 

[Calm Mind]

I actually like good or tolerable art styles.

The new sprites in USF2 are ass.

 

[PantsuJo]

Lol?

Joke post?

I got sf4 on ps4 and just hate the way it looks.

Much prefer 2 or 3 which I tried around the same time as 4 for the first time. It's amazing how bad 4 looks... 5 is better but not great. other than that they play ok

 

[Jack The Nipper]

The new sprites in USF2 are ass.

Not saying they aren't. But not sure what is good about the flat 3d look either.

As far as I was aware this version of SF2 has original art.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Capcom always says they will wait to see how shitty port does on new Nintendo system before we do more.

They should throw in 3rd Strike instead of that shitty FPS mode

 

[Emhemed]

This is really disappointing. Capcom did the same with the Wii and I don't understand why 3rd party publishers keep giving Nintendo consoles some kind of an ultimatum, you don't get success without taking any kind of risks.

Fuck off Capcom!

 

[Gai Murakumo]

Capcom going to Capcom I suppose. Base interest to do more IP's solely on a sale of one game that happens to be 25 years old. LOL!

 

[gafneo]

Capcom properties I'd like to see
A cell shaded Ghost N Goblins that shows no mercy
A cell shaded 3D Final Fight with a deep fighting system
Resident Evil 2 Remake in FP and VR
A Mega Man with Guilty Gear Sign graphics
Power Stone 3
Duck Tails 3 that resembles the Wayforward remake
A Marvel Planet Hulk adventure game
Monster Hunter with good graphics and hit detection
A Strider 2, but with beautiful Japanese art

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

We're a long ways out from the GameCube days when Capcom alone accounted for the majority of my third-party library, even with the mismanagement and shaky exclusivity relationships surrounding the Capcom Five. Wake me up when they bring back Viewtiful Joe.

This would be kinda heart-breaking since Alan Young passed away (he came back for DuckTales Remastered to voice Scrooge McDuck), but I suppose they can use the new cast.

Also, I think you mean Strider 3. Strider 2 already happened.

 

[TheDinoman]

I just don't think most third parties want to deal with Nintendo consoles anymore, even if they're actually successful.

I think a lot of it has its roots in the fact that Nintendo kinda treated third party companies like ass back in the day with their hardware and policies. They just had to put up with it because there wasn't much else to go to. Sony saw that and took advantage of it by making the Playstation the ultimate dream for third parties. When that happened, it seems like third parties realized they didn't need Nintendo anymore and basically ran away, writing their home console business off for good.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

They don't mess around. Mega Man Legend 3 was canned after poor sales of the 3DS.

I... Don't remember that being the reason at all.

 

[Serenitynow]

Did anyone notice IGN wrote a story based on the original, inaccurate translation in this thread without doing any translation work of their own?

"CAPCOM TO ASSESS ITS SUPPORT FOR SWITCH BASED ON ULTRA STREET FIGHTER 2 PERFORMANCE"
http://m.ign.com/articles/2017/05/2...h-based-on-ultra-street-fighter-2-performance

Edit: innacurate, not immaculate lol

Edit 2: Actually, it says they checked via an IGN translator, but how could that be? They directly reference sales performance and it is very similar to GAF's initial translation

 

[Lutherian]

So that's why Switch didn't get the Duck Tales & other NES compilation, right ?

Oh and so it also means that we can forget about Monster Hunter on Switch ?

 

[AdmiralMikey]

A Strider 2, but with beautiful Japanese art

Well, we already have a Strider 2....

Did you mean a good sequel to the ho-hum 2013 Strider game? A remake of Strider 2? Or just an all-new Strider game with great, stylish graphics?

There is no wrong answer here, as long as they greatly improve upon the 2013 game.

How do you explain Capcoms 3DS support if they dont want anything to do with Nintendo ? Your post doesnt make much sense when pretty much every japanese console publisher is supporting Switch.

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

Glad it was just a mistranslation cause fuck spending money on that Street Fighter 2 port. Even if it wasn't I wouldn't support BS like this. Heck, it's not like Capcom has honored prior "tests" anyway.

 

[tkscz]

I'd take sf2 over 4 and 5 any time.

There are enough people like you in the world to get this game over 1mil sold, but at $40...
