Are you going to dismiss the 5 resident evil games on the Wii and Revelations for WiiU?
In the past 10 years, Nintendo have gotten 2 light gun shooters and two spinoffs. The last two mainline games skipped their systems despite 5 being ported to even android. Rev 2, a sequel to a game that started on a Nintendo platform, didn't come to a Nintendo platform.
Maybe Switch will get ports of RE5/6 and Rev2, but I don't think they will prioritize RE7 for it if the system can even handle the game at all. The game has fairly high system requirements. I wouldn't hold my breath.
The fact that 3rd party games actually sell on Sony platforms might have something to do with it.
It's not only hardware related.
It's also money-related. Demographic-related.
The tech isn't there, and as such, Capcom then has to put a ton of money porting and optimizing the game to work on the Switch. Nintendo themselves however have done a pretty shit job at cultivating an audience that buys those kinds of third party games on their platforms. And even if that game were there, who wants to then buy the version that looks notably worse? It then becomes a question to Capcom as to whether or not that financial investment is likely to even see a return.

RE7 looks great and runs at 60fps. Try again.
You mean three Gamecube ports and two rail shooters?

RE5 could not run on Wii at all, and WiiU provided Capcom very little incentive to bring over 5 or 6.
Switch is behind current gen specs, and RE7 is coming out in two days. So you never actually gave a good reason for why the news of this game not coming to Switch is shocking.
You think people in this thread are unaware of the solid relationship between Nintendo and Capcom? I expect some type of support for sure, like more spinoffs and subseries (which were very solid).
lol ffVII will be for anyone who liked the original. that episodic action BS is trying to cash in on peoples nostalgia. they csn keep it. as for RE7, i imagine its definitely a timing issue and i'd not be surprised if a RE isn't announced for Switch at E3.
Well that's true. Plus, that new game the devs of Bravely Default are doing for the Switch looks amazing. Dat pixel 3D blend...
Wii ran Black Ops.
Switch could run re7 in theory. But nobody will those downgraded ports plain and simple

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
It's honestly staggering to me people still think the Switch is going to be getting PS4 games. The device is no longer a mystery, power wise. It is a portable.
You have the lower tier "coulda done a PS3/360 edition" stuff like Xenoverse 2 and then there's everything else.

It's BS. Most Japanese 3rd party games on PS4 could easily run on the Switch platform.
Most of them aren't exactly demanding.

It absolutely is hardware related. They would have to make significant changes to port to it to Switch when it would have a fraction of the PS4/Xbox/PC sales.

Yeah, I do remember that experiment. I do applaud Activision for trying when basically nobody else was downgrading.
Ultimately, the results weren't worth the effort.

Honestly I'd much rather see RE0 and REMake get ported to it. Especially in a single package. RE4 would be great as well. I just don't go in on late modern game ports, especially when I know it's going to need downgrades to run.
Start out simple/cheap and see if you can cultivate the audience first.

*Everything that doesn't come out on the switch was trash anyway*

This, anyone who truly wanted these types of games likely owns hardware that can play them. The notion of a Nintendo console getting AAA big budget cutting edge support should have been dead a long time ago. Nintendo hasn't made a system o facilitate that kind of library in more than a decade. The Wii was great in that along with Nintendos stellar first party games, it got tons of third party support that was tailor made for the system and many of those games were exclusives. That's the kind of support I hope the Switch gets. I already own a PS4 and a midrange PC, I don't need Nintendo to make a similar console. I can play my Titanfall 2s, Mass Effects, and RE7s elsewhere.

It's not hardware related. A port could happen, without "significant changes" (unless you count resolution/framerate and reduced effects as "significant") it just doesn't have a business case. People need to stop being disingenuous as to why ports aren't coming. The device being a portable with lower specs means that developers would have to spend time (money) tweaking their wares to fit the platform. Publishers are of the opinion that there is not a business case to do so. This isn't a mystery, and those who cite specs have missed the point for 2 decades now.

If they didn't downport RE5 and RE6 to Wii or WiiU I don't see why they would port RE7 to Switch.
I think they would do it if Switch had similar horsepower than XBO or PS4.

You are in denial.
of what? I hate the direction of FFVII:R so no denial from me. I understand some people like it, which is fine, and some people just will take whatever they can and be happy.
As for a RE game for Switch? you think there won't be one? lol you are in denial if you think that.

Are you attempting to compare the discussion in a thread about Capcom and one of its flagship franchises, to a thread about Nippon Ichi Software?

It won't be RE7. How did Revelations sell on the 3DS?

Everyone is going to have a much better time if they treat switch as a crazy good handheld you can play on your tv as opposed to a disappointing portable console you get your heartbroken by for 3-4 years. It got a port of SF2 for gods sakes.
Option 3 - understand switch will shine w first party titles and accept that it has all the makings of WiiU part 2 at the moment. This is also fine , I own a WiiU and I bought a switch. At no time (after reveal) did I think the Switch would be a viable main platform for people who don't only want to ply Nintendo games.

This notion that if (AAA) game x/y/z game isn't planned, then that must mean Switch isn't powerful enough to run it, is a very poorly conceived and monotonous thought. Not everything is based on power. Architectural differences/similarities come into play, development time & budget, and perhaps most importantly, potential sales in respect to installed base.
Capcom is well aware that they do have a Resident Evil fan base on Nintendo consoles(Kudos to them for laying that foundation back on GameCube), but they've have always waited until the systems have gotten off to a decent start before dropping a title. However, as it stands currently, that RE fanbase is on Switch zero! That's not much data to work with, nor does it boosts confidence when you consider Switch is coming off the back of Nintendo's worst performing console to date. Even Wii - popular as it was - saw its first RE game a year after launch. 3DS - which Capcom were betting on big time - saw its first RE game several months after launch.
People are reading the worst into these statements, but historically, this is business as usual. Capcom has never been there at or near Nintendo system launches with RE, even when they've been in development before the systems launched (Revelations, Umbrella Chronicles), so I wouldn't read too much into this. I'm fairly confident that we will see Resident Evil - in some form - for Switch somewhere down the line, especially if sales are decent. I'm also willing to bet that it will be a gorgeous looking game on the Switch too, even when stacked against RE games on current consoles.

As much as the 'playing favorites' argument is dumb, this one is also dumb. Switch supports just about every dev tool under the sun. It's arguably one of the easiest consoles to develop for right now.
Pretty much.
It would make no sense competing with the PS4 right now for Nintendo. Uniting all their titles and the support they had for the 3ds and the limited support for the WIiU on one platform if very smart for Nintendo to build their base up again. Plus I think people are going to love the options available to play in the living room or as a portable.

It's no surprise the game isn't appearing on Switch day one.
It will be a surprise if the game never appears on the Switch. I am sure it will eventually.

Maybe we'll see a Resident Evil spinoff series on Switch instead.
I think Resident Evil: Federations is up Nintendo's alley.

At this point I would go as far to say it's non-Nintendo fans who "expected it" just to fuel a little more concern trolling.

Ya know honestly if they just port REmake, Revelations 1 and 2, RE4, and RE5 to the Switch as well as hopefully the upcoming REmake 2 that'd be more than enough for me to consider it the most compelling platform for a Resident Evil library of all time just based on how incredible it'd be to be able to take all those games on the go and play wireless co-op with others so easily but still maintain that local co-op feel.
I mean I'm a Nintendo fan. I'm also not delusional.

There were people on GAF convinced that Switch would get a SFV port too
Which by comparison, RE7 is a sure bet

If wanting a perfect, feature complete version of RE4 to play while I take shits is wrong...then I don't wanna be right.
