Future support:

Q: In response to sales results of "Ultra Street Fighter II", I would like to ask about the policy for responding to Nintendo Switch in the future.

A: The Nintendo Switch is very strong and I expect it to spread in the future. We are considering future response including "Monster Hunter Double Cross Nintendo Switch Ver." Planned to be introduced in August.

From the their earnings results for the 1st quarter FY3/2018.

①Digital Contents business
In this business, although the first quarter corresponds to the market’s off-season in terms of the launch cycle for major titles, Ultra Street Fighter II (for Nintendo Switch), which was released in May 2017, made an excellent start and proved to be a smash hit. In addition, Resident Evil 7 biohazard (for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC) and Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross) (for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems) contributed to revenue to a certain extent.

The resulting net sales were 7,688 million yen (up 14.1% from the same term in the previous year) and operating income was 1,676 million yen (compared with an operating income of 8 million yen for the same term in the previous year).

Update:

It looks like 450k units of USF2 were shipped.

Far right column, 1 SKU and we know USF2 was the only game released between Wii, Wii U and Switch.

Update 2:

Don't know if posted yet :

Capcom: 450K is 1Q figure for Ultra Street Fighter II, above its expectation. Also "starting to prepare" multiple Switch-version titles.

[SinCityAssassin]

I see they're up from last year.

That said, a smash hit? No sales figures for it even? Did the game even hit 500k?

 

[TheOGB]

Surprising, but at least that means the Switch won't be left behind

 

[Leonsito]

Test passed?

 

[The Last One]

No sales figures for it even?

They are probably really low. I think this is digital only they're talking about.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Meh, any number could be a smash hit depending on the budget and expectations.

Means they'll continue to support the platform I guess.

 

[vareon]

I'm not a knowledgeable guy regarding sales-age compared to others here, so I really didn't see this coming.

 

[cws]

Its all about expectations - they probably needed like 100k copies for it to be a success and shipped 3-4 times as much. The next good performing Switch 3rdParty title.

Next stop RE4....lawl.

Meh, any number could be a smash hit depending on the budget and expectations.

What exactly is meh about that ? Thats how it works for every game publishers.

 

[Femto.]

Now bring the Alpha games over to modern consoles with good netplay.

Spoiler

Pls :/

 

[James Scott]

Would've sold more if it was actually any good, tho I imagine the low effort/budget nature is what helped it be profitable.

Wonder if this means anything since it seems like they had 0 plans to support Switch with anything meaningful

 

[Chinner]

Its all about expectations - they probably needed like 100k copies for it to be a success and shipped 3-4 times as much.

Next stop RE4....lawl.

I'm more than happy to portbeg the shit of resident evil 4... But only because it's probably coming anyway.

 

[Richie]

I don't think the game sold gangbusters, but I could believe it sold alright considering its price...Does this mean Capcom actually had realistic expectations? Niiiice.

 

[VLQ]

Surprising, but at least that means the Switch won't be left behind

haha

 

[Nibel]

Maybe Switch will get a Capcom N64 game next 🤔

 

[Nanashrew]

Test passed?

Can't wait for the next test game!

 

[random25]

Profit margins must be so huge for them to be this happy lol.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Maybe Switch will get a Capcom N64 game next 🤔

Megaman 64 on the Switch Virtual Console coming 2018.

 

[Floex]

Street Fighter III Online - book it

 

[Fiendcode]

Test passed?

Yep. USF2 will probably go multiplat now.

Wait, which test?

 

[fernoca]

Keep the tests coming. Wonder which test will fail, and serve as the reason to stop support.

 

[Toki767]

Hopefully this means they make more Switch games and not do something dumb like port USF2 to PS4/Xbox.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Street Fighter III Online - book it

Nah, I don't think we'll get that lucky

They'll probably just use the profits to fund a multi platform game that comes to everything but Switch.

 

[cws]

Profit margins must be so huge for them to be this happy lol.

Probably made already more money than SFV.

lol

 

[Leafhopper]

Test passed?

More mediocre rom hacks on the way.

In all honesty though it will probably be Resident Evil 4 again.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Release Alpha 3 with the same game rebalance and color edit treatment.

 

[_Clash_]

Good stuff

Now make it Viewtiful

 

[FloweryMarston]

"fuck it actually sold a good amount"

 

[wrowa]

So, you're telling me cheap ports sold at full price sell well on Switch? Hey, Capcom, maybe you've got another cheap port for Switch in development. A port of some 3DS game, maybe. Wouldn't it be swell if you released that in the west?

 

[VLQ]

Street Fighter III Online - book it

for every platform except Switch

 

[random25]

Probably made already more money than SFV.

lol

They are definitely more happy with this result than the SFV one before that's for sure.

 

[H13]

Now capcom, annouce more games for switch ffs

 

[NateDrake]

Bring on that RE4 port, Capcom!

 

[RedAssedApe]

Do a sfv switch with crossplay lol

 

[fernoca]

More mediocre rom hacks on the way.

In all honesty though it will probably be Resident Evil 4 again.

And yet no Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, no Disney Afternoon Collection either.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Meh, any number could be a smash hit depending on the budget and expectations.

Means they'll continue to support the platform I guess.

What's meh about that? That's how it's supposed to work...

Bring on that RE4 port, Capcom!

We're moving on up! Maybe in two generations we'll get current gen titles!

 

[Roo]

for every platform except Switch

Resident Evil Revelations 2 flashbacks...

 

[cws]

Watch the next "test" be a port of Spyborgs....lawl. Who the hell need MHXX HD in the west when we could play a failed Wii game instead xD

They are definitely more happy with this result than the SFV one before that's for sure.

Seems like it.

 

[Leafhopper]

And yet no Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, no Disney Afternoon Collection either.

Yeah those are bizarre omissions right now.

 

[thuway]

Does this mean they'll actually care and update the game in a sensible way?

I'd love to see a real sequel to the old school game.

 

[Neoxon]

Do a sfv switch with crossplay lol

Sony has SFV on lockdown as far as consoles go. Unless Nintendo slips Sony a fat check, SFV won't leave Sony consoles (PC & soon Arcade aside).

How about Third Strike &/or the Alpha games?

 

[Nights Owl]

And yet no Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, no Disney Afternoon Collection either.

Genuinely annoyed at that. Really freakin' want MM8 on the go.

 

[Ozium]

I would legit take a Viewtiful Joe collection for the switch.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

USF2 port on PS4/XB1/PC for $15 confirmed.

 

[MetalliCabombination]

Shame on you people

 

[Nanashrew]

I would legit take a Viewtiful Joe collection for the switch.

100% on board for that.

 

[Mistouze]

Yay! More low efforts ports incoming!

(I'd take another RE4)

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I wouldn't mind RE 0 to 4 on Switch.

 

[Dr. Carroll]

I notice that as of June, RE6 HD is up to 1.1 million from 1 million, while RE7 is up to 3.7 million from last quarter's 3.5 million.

RE4 HD and RE5 HD do not appear to have crossed a million copies sold yet. Which is interesting.

 

[ITSMILNER]

Thanks for buying it everyone! Now hopefully Capcom will release the good stuff on Switch!

 

[random25]

Maybe it will convince Capcom to localize MHXX Switch ver.
