Capcom give me Switch physical of Remake 1, Zero, Remake 2, and Outbreak Vol. 1&2 HD.
Konami I will take ports of the 360 version of the MGS collection, as well as a port of MGSV.
Castlevania R 2.5D or 2D when? Super Switch N Ghosts N Ghouls N Goblins R when?
Konami, money is waiting to be printed in the form Gradius cartridges and other fantastic old properties that you happen to own.
I'll take digital but I want to build a cartridge library.

Silent Hills pls nintendo.
Portable RE4, good lord, gimme!
That would make me very excited. Plus the Wii controls obviously translating over. Perfect RE4.
If only, L-5 also released Inazuma Eleven on Switch on Launch, they will be collecting Euros from Spain and Italy day one lol.^^

If we are talking Capcom I'll put in a vote for Viewtiful Joe.

Yeah where are the bombabin threads.
Nowhere.
I had a gut feeling it would do well, the game looked very appealing to me as a fan of Bomberman games of old.
Which this looks like it plays from what I've seen, and heard from others who have played like Bomberman 93 or so and the new game.

Snipperclips looks amazing so i am glad they are doing well.
Deserves to do more then bomberman, its perfectly suited to the Switch playstyle

Take that L, every third party that didn't have an original game ready at launch.

Do you have a bet running or something?

Yeah, but Nintendo has a past working relationship with Platinum and I'm sure Kamiya would love to make a VJ3.
But that is counting on Capcom to be smart or reasonable.

There was a good game in Devil's Third. The single player was six hours of Itagaki's booze-driven insanity. If only some of the technical problems could have been ironed out.
Multiplayer was good fun too.
You will get Snipperclips 2 and you will love it.^^
Welcome to the Bomberclub.
Whooooo?
I don't know how Namco couldn't get Namco Museum out by launch. Maybe Nintendo talked them into waiting so it could be part of the steady stream strategy.

It'll wait for a price drop or user copy. I got better games to play.

Looking at the bomberman sales that thread looks silly.

The vast majority of replies are along the lines of pricing sucks but they can get away with it because its a launch title with almost no competition. Pretty accurate.
Snipperclips 2 at E3 believe. This time with physical release!
GOEMON R Mrgrgrgrgr.

Not surprised that NeoGAF gets it wrong again after bashing Super Bomberman R. The game is still loads of fun with multiplayer (and only getting better after the patch).

Super Street Fighter 4 for 3DS got to 1.2 million units sold in 2014, and that was a launch title. USF2 is going to do fine.

Is Snipperclips Nintendo's IP? Could never find the answer to that
Dark Cloud

Yes, it's their IP.
All I want is for devs to see the good sales and atleast put AA games on the Switch. If they're worried about AAA games that's fine, but bring back old IPs with an AA budget.
I'm pretty sure Nintendo bought the rights to it so yeah.

Sweet, that means Nintendo will definitely do more with it.
Snippercilps is so charming

Nooooooo...
Konami x Good Feel is what we need! 2D, Metroidvania. Hell, remake Simon's Quest with an expansive 2D overworld and decent sized castles. Reuse sprites.
Cheap. Nostalgic. In good hands with Good Feel.
I just sold you another >500k copies of a game, Konami.

Omg a Castlevania Woolly World...
Oh man I would love a new Goemon!

Haha. Apparently a lot of the old CV devs are now at GoodFeel is why I pegged them with it.
RE 5 would make a lot of sense because​ of co-op aspect if local multiplayer is possible and that it has tank controls which is doable on single Joy-Cons.
However, they could release a new Resident Evil Mercenaries (referring to the 3ds game), it would do just as good.

Knack was bundled to hell and back. Bomberman is at 500k in just a month, without bundles.
PS4 had COD Ghosts, AC Black Flag, NBA 2K13, BF4, FIFA, and other third party games. Konami was smart getting a low budget yet known franchise on the system at launch

yeah, that fits nintendo more.

As fond as I am of Capcom's unsurpassed ability to port or re-release the same game, I rather they had released a new IP and cultivated it alongside the Switch hype (ala Phoenix Wright and the GBA). Naturally this comes with certain risks: we witnessed what happened with Zack and Wiki. But with all these big titles they're busy with and their latest sales results, they need to harvest more economy-sized franchises to help support their more expensive projects and themselves.

I must admit, the irony is delicious
