They're almost all on mobile so it's fine.
yep this is what I want
450K people payed $40 for a slightly improved 26 year old masterpiece that recreated a genre and changed a generation

They were smart and insanely lucky in being one of the few games in the Switch launch window. The Switch blew up and people needed games to play.
Word of mouth (Youtubers who follow this shit) is that Bomber Man is selling above Konami expectations and they're happy.

And that's just physical. The game has been on the eShops best sellers list sense it launched. We could be talking 500 to 600K here.
The fact that Bomberman got patches and DLC let us know it sold well.

Oh boy another RE4
I actually want that
I mentioned this in the other topic but I agree with the sentiment that I would rather have new games than the 10th release of RE4.
Honestly what happened to Capcom?
They used to be the "it" Japanese company and would release tons of new franchises on all systems. Did all of those games flop or something?
Seems like now the release output for them is strictly on ports of old games. The fact that they needed Sony's help to develop SFV is concerning when SF4 was such a huge hit.
I would rather Capcom make new IPs or revive old franchises rather than more HD ports of games I played to death 10-15 years ago.

Time for Ultra Ghouls 'n Ghosts and Ultra Final Fight.

I don't think that changes the value proposition here much especially when you consider the plethora of other places the game can be played in the modern day.
considering that they already told that they were to include Switch more in their multiplatform development I'd say they are working on Switch version of multiplatform games

Oh, I know they ported them. Was just wondering if anybody has any impressions, especially compared to how they play on DS/3DS. As far as I know they even ported MH to mobile phones.
Capcom lost Inafune and the whole Clover Studio with Kamiya and Mikami.
The only two remaning are Itsuno and Ono from the old and experienced Directors

You're right, that is pretty crazy
Good catch. I still think that we'll get a RE7 port down the line. It's the one that makes the most sense right now.

skyrim is going to sell so much holy shit
Typical Capcom nonsense if so rotfl , releasing XX in the west before 2018 wouldn't cut anything but oh well.

That and/or Alpha Anthologies

Disney collection IMO is pretty obvious and should have been day and date with other versions, considering those were originally NES games. Megaman collection is also an obvious one to port over, and an Ace Attorney collection. Pretty no-brainer stuff, these are quick port jobs....

surprised it sold that much. Have seen a lot of copies of it in the stores here though
So I guess they shipped a good number
I would be fine with both... Preferably for a decent price but.. it's Capcom

Bomberman was around 500K a month or two after launch. A series where most other releases were doing around 50K WW.
Don't you dare tease me, my heart can't take it.

Yeah we've been hearing a lot of good news about third party sales on Switch, I think Skyrim and FIFA will really surprise some people.
Here's the tricky part about all this: SF2 released in the perfect window when there wasn't a lot to play. Switch is gonna be getting tons of games soon and won't have that problem. They better port these fast before there's a good variety of games and Switch owners will be less likely to buy.
Yeah that's actually my best case short term scenario. And even that would be a huge improvement over the current situation.

I will seriously get a switch if this happens
I expect to see a couple Switch announcements around TGS when Nintendo has their Fall conference.
3rd dumped a bunch of game on Switch but it seems like the Switch passed all the tests looking how Disgaea 5, Bomberman, USF 2 and co. performed.
On to phase 2....
