Only to release more useless ports. Mega Street Fighter 2 with Mean Guile? Resident Evil 1 PSone direct port? Another Megaman compilation?

HAHAAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Seriously ?
I mean, there really are higher ups who thought "Guys, let's release a 3 times more expensive port of a 2008 remake of a 1992 game."

Nah, Capcom put genuine effort into Wii, even if it was misplaced at times (Chop 'til You Drop, wtf).

Well that's ridiculous. I doubt they'd ignore Switch if it keeps selling like it is atm though, even if USF2 flops on it.

Capcom : "Given that the Switch sales reminds us of the Wii era we are happy to announce the return of tests "
Classic Capcom for me was when they were one of the few prolific third party publishers for the Dreamcast.

This is the more important bit
-Capcom wants to resurrect old I.P, but doing so makes many problems crop up
Already going back on their word.
The switch thing is a non-issue. They're saying that to get more people to buy SF2. They already have at least another port of some kind for the switch in the oven. If capcom shows absolutely nothing for Switch at E3, then I'd worry

Ignoring the fact that they're using SF5 as a push into esports
One platform holder is known for good third party sales
The other isnt

Capcom games have done well on Nintendo systems. Especially handheld systems.
Great example of taking something out of context just to make a - sorry - dumb thread out of it. They don't mean that they won't support the Switch if the game doesn't do well.
The thing they want to analyze with SF II is, if this kind of experience is suited for the Switch audience.
Still not really a great way but a completely other thing then what people here make out of it.

What game? The only game EA has announced for the Switch is FIFA.
NBA Playgrounds was EA, wasn't it?
They were supposed to patch online for it after launch.

That's the equivalent of purposely doing a bad job so you don't get asked to do it again.
It's Their loss.
Even konami crapped out an actual new game that got even better with support post launch. But I guess theyes are fine enjoying unreasonable re releases and lofty expectations. Even porting USF4 Made more sense than SF2 but look at where we are now.
Simply dissapointing.

Capcom can fuck right off.
Game is fine but not $40 fine.

It seems to me hes saying that they will look at sf2 and decide on if they want to support the platform with more fighters and brawlers or otherwise consider a different strategy. Hes not saying they wont support Switch if sf2 fails. On the contrary, he says that he looks at his daughter as inspiraion and his daughter wants a Switch.

how about you get in the business of meeting consumer demand

Reminds me of their stupid "tests" during the Wii days. There's no way gamers can win this. They'd do better just saying they're not going to support the platform. Especially with a game like Street Fighter II as the test game. These guys are definitely on drugs.
There have to be a variety of games available for them to determine that. If Street Fighter II sells great, what does that say exactly? NS owners are happy purchasing old arcade fighters at a high price? Just go back to the Wii days and look at the lessons learned there. They released Resident Evil 4 and it did great, but what did they end up making? Rail shooters and more rail shooters. Of course, they did do stuff like Zack and Wiki and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, but people wanted more than rail shooters and the lesson they got from the success of their rail shooters was to provide more rail shooters.
