[TRUE ORDER]

Bring the Alpha/Zero titles now

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

We should only expect ports. That's all what Capcom is doing these days.

They're the only thing keeping the company afloat.

 

[nightside]

When wii users "passed" the re4 and umbrella chronicles tests they got... Another umbrella chronocls.. So... I'm not quite optimistic.

 

[ggx2ac]

Good numbers but it's not as big as some people expected to be. I want them to port the Alpha or SF3 series next, would be difficult to play without a d-pad though and I doubt many would be willing to buy a fight stick.

We did want to see USF2 beat SFV in launch sales because it would have been funny but, oh well.

Breath Of Fire collection GOGOGOGOGOGOGO

 

[hoserx]

Its my number one most played switch game so far. I did not see it coming. I am addicted, and I was never really a fighting game fan before.

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

We should only expect ports. That's all what Capcom is doing these days.

I could live with ports if they're a bit more substantial than USF2. Give me a portable Dragon's Dogma or the DMC collection. Or better yet port EX Troopers and actually release it in the west for once.

 

[Mugy]

Portability its a big factor that Capcom i think may not be seeing...Specially considering RE4HD doesn't have any good portable option to play it (iOS doesn't count). Fighting games may not be a good option, but SFIIHD put the standard, so may as well Capcom consider it.

But don't tell me that those games i listed are not AMAZING options for Switch ports. Who cares, Capcom eventually will make new games or port existing current generation games to Switch.

 

[MrCarter]

lol that was unlikely.

Who expected? It was a smash hit for Capcom.

I mean some people on here expected it to sell over a million. Like I said it's still good numbers, it's a nice little party game to play around with and it seems like nostalgia did the trick. Next up should be a Resident Evil port as they are doing very well digitally on PS4/XB1.

 

[professor denim]

One of my most played Switch games. Now give me some display options on original mode.... scanlines, wallpaper etc

 

[Platy]

Can't wait for a Street Fighter lightgun shooter

 

[Dreamwriter]

I mean some people on here expected it to sell over a million.

That would have meant more than 1 in 5 Switch owners would have bought the game, who expected that? That’s like Zelda-level numbers, Street Fighter selling the same as Zelda??

 

[Sterok]

Knowing Capcom, MHXX western sales are the next test. With no changes to the current localization plans of course.

 

[E_Darkness]

I'm hoping this doesn't mean they'll charge us full price for a game like SF2 again.

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

Knowing Capcom, MHXX western sales are the next test. With no changes to the current localization plans of course.

Well I've had my pre-order in since it was announced. Not sure how many others are going to bother though. Most of my friends that were going to import XX are now just waiting for MH:W.

 

[kewlmyc]

Eh, I'm contempt with just Ace Attorney games and RE2 Remake being on Switch to be honest.

 

[Dark Cloud]

That would have meant more than 1 in 5 Switch owners would have bought the game, who expected that? That’s like Zelda-level numbers, Street Fighter selling the same as Zelda??

Yeah I don't know who expected a million. It's another remaster of some old ass game. I thought it'd do 200K.

 

[Sesha]

Breath Of Fire collection GOGOGOGOGOGOGO

Prepare for the BoF mobile games collection.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Wasn't the PS4 version of Street Fighter V at like 1.6 million sales in May?

What is their qualification of Smash hit here?

Could this actually outsell that?

No, 1.6m is PS4 + PC.

 

[MrCarter]

I am impressed how SF2 is such an iconic game that it's surpassed its modern competitors like Guilty Gear Xrd, BlazBlue and KOF14 in sales.

 

[LambdaTeos]

Well this is nice!!!
Glad to see the game surpassed their expectations
People complaining about other people who bought it: let people buy whatever they want...

 

[ITSMILNER]

What could Capcom realistically bring to Switch next? I doubt they would make an exclusive title but Incould see the 2 Megaman Legacy collections and maybe the Disney afternoon collection

 

[radcliff]

Glad its doing well. I have the game and play online almost every night. Definitely got my money's worth and then some.

 

[Phoenixus]

So.. a rail shooter with Dahlsim's extending limbs next?

Spoiler

Scratch that, I'd play the shit out of that game.

 

[Cepheus]

I really, really hope this means Third Strike is next. I don't want to keep having to get my PS3 out just to play it, since it's the only game I play on that system.

Third Strike
On the go

 

[Crankshaft]

Theres not much to play on the Switch right now so I'm not surprised that the game sold well. But as long as it tempts Capcom to keep supporting the switch then I'm fine with that.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Wow, Capcom and FucKonami both cleanining up on Switch launch window titles. Pretty savvy of them.

 

[mavericktopgun]

Lol no not much. Just ~100 games since March. That's nothing. /s

 

[iMerc]

Nope, this: http://www.siliconera.com/2017/01/22/ultra-street-fighter-ii-will-come-platforms-sells-extremely-well-says-capcom/

lol.
gotta love capcom's double standard.
If a exclusive game performs well on a nintendo system, their response is to port it to other consoles too -- and NOT to invest in more titles on the nintendo system.
but if one of their titles perform well on an xbox or a playstation system, then that's reason to keep it exclusive to those because the user bases really liked it! lol.

What could Capcom realistically bring to Switch next? I doubt they would make an exclusive title but Incould see the 2 Megaman Legacy collections and maybe the Disney afternoon collection

nothing, really.
they likely did not expect this to sell well, or for their 'test' to be passed.
lol at a megaman collection or disney afternoon collection. given those properties history on nintendo systems, and the fact that many of those games are actually from nintendo systems already, bringing it over to the switch should have been the first priority.
it wasn't even a consideration, lol.

i'm not making fun of nintendo hardware, mind you. i'm just commenting on capcom's nonsense.

 

[KingBroly]

Doesn't deserve it, IMO.

They'll now release USF3, which will flop, and Nintendo will be blamed, with them releasing nothing else on Switch.

 

[disap.ed]

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

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

Don't get my hopes up 🙁

 

[ec0ec0]

at 40 a copy, and basically not development costs... already more profitable that SFV? lol

 

[mavericktopgun]

Release some newer Resident Evil titles and both Mega Man Collections and people are happy.

 

[ChuyMasta]

I'll take res0 and 1 HD ala ps4 please

And Re4 too....for the millionth time

Thanks!

 

[Dreamwriter]

What could Capcom realistically bring to Switch next?

This “smash hit” could convince them to bring Monster Hunter XX to the US, or port Monster Hunter World to Switch.

 

[ITSMILNER]

Would also like a Switch version of Ultra SF4

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Test passed?

Hahahahaha

 

[HyperHip]

Funny enough one of my favorite switch titles, sorry GAF! Still a decent amount of people to play and always nice to run into some fightcade cats too. Hopefully they do another update with super versions of the characters.

 

[dracula_x]

I think they updated their sales numbers – http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html

SFV at 1.7

RE VII at 3.7 (was 3.5 as for April 27 – http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-04-27-resident-evil-7-sales-top-3-5m-worldwide)

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Just give me RE5: Gold Edition on Switch. Then I can ignore you as a company forever.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Theres not much to play on the Switch right now so I'm not surprised that the game sold well.

Every time a Switch game proves successful, somebody brings out this line.

So many games selling well, yet there's not much to play... I'd love to know how that works.

I wonder how come it never seemed to apply to the Wii U at any point.

Just ignore these people lol. They dont know what they are talking about.

 

[Crankshaft]

I'm not insulting your precious system. The only point I was trying to make was that SF2 came out at a time when people were eager to snatch anything to play on their new system.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I knew this comment was coming. Fine, games "worth" playing. No one threw down 300 dollars just to play 1-2 Switch. 100 games doesn't mean anything if only a few of them are worth your time.

There's plenty of games "worth" playing. Just stop with that nonsense. That died off and you're a Lone Ranger trying to push it.

 

[LordRaptor]

SFV definitely had higher initial production costs, and has also had ongoing SaaS upkeep development costs, even though its at a fairly small userbase and a fairly cheap purchase price so... yeah, could well be.

 

[Seik]

Like clockwork. :lol

Ayyyyy Lmao

 

[The Hermit]

I did my part and even convinced a friend to buy it.

I just wished they had more options regarding speed and updated moves.

 

[tkscz]

450k means roughly 1 in 10 Switch owners bought the game. Pretty darn good for a third party game, and it promises for a great third-party future for the system.


What people expected more than 1 in 10 Switch owners to buy the game? As for a fight stick, there’s one being released next week, but there are other ways to get a better dpad - the 8bitdo SNES Controller has an amazing dpad.

And that's just shipped. They didn't say anything about Digital sales and the game thus far the game as remained on the top selling eShop games (which it records every two weeks). So I say the game probably did about 500 - 600k adding digital.
