Oh I thought you meant with not-a-port.

Oh, indeed I meant a port. I mean, I can understand definitely them not being able to ship an exclusive, high profile release at launch for an unproven platform.

But for a port choice ? There were a lot more games that made more sense.

 

[cvxfreak]

If RE4 Switch combined HD with motion controls, count me in.

 

[Flarin]

"fuck it actually sold a good amount"

 

[Nanashrew]

A lot of gaffers said this with USF2. Mind you, your statement is not nearly as ridiculous, but it's familiar.

What if ARMS does?

 

[Amalthea]

"Uh, oh, now we have to give a shit."

 

[Cpt Lmao]

Should be a pretty clear message for Capcom to bring further SF games to the Switch. I'm glad it did well.

 

[Salvadora]

I wonder what the expectations were and what the sales figures are.

Can imagine development costs were (very) low.

 

[L Thammy]

What if ARMS does?

That's a totally different question, considering that it's not a port, it's not a traditional fighter and all. It's already, what, 70% of SFV's total sales? Isn't it?

Did someone said this non-sarcastically?

 

[PaulExcellent]

Now do an Alpha collection.
Or an MMX collection.
Or a Disney collection.

Just make something that doesn't cost $40 for 1 (one) old game, dammit.

Alpha, based on the SNES version, for $60 . - Monkey paw wish.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Maybe it will convince Capcom to localize MHXX Switch ver.

:lol

 

[L Thammy]

I'm pretty sure most of the times it was said, it was completely serious.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Ultra Goof Troop: The Final Gorshers next plz Capcom.

 

[ggx2ac]

It looks like 450k units of USF2 were shipped.

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

 

[Lonely1]

Well, looks like it shipped 450K already. Mix in PS4/XBX/PC discount releases and it can become a reality. :O

 

[PaulExcellent]

Ugh.
Yeah, I'll buy it.

Even better than i thought - 300-400k is what i expected.
Once they drop the price to 20-30 as standard it could have some solid legs.

How exactly ? Because of the lack of anything meaningful ?

Its still very early in this console life cycle - but if you think that they have nothing meaningful planned or in work for Switch thats your right.

 

[Nanashrew]

Ultra Goof Troop: The Final Gorshers next plz Capcom.

I wouldn't mind a Disney Collection that included Goof Troop. Goof Troop was legit, and a really fun co-op adventure.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

"Uh, oh, now we have to give a shit."

It's Capcom no they don't.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

450k is a lot.

We lost.

 

[LordKano]

I know a lot of people who got it because it was like 25€ on amazon.fr before the release.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

What games do people even want from Capcom? All I care about is Phoenix Wright and that's now guaranteed to be releasing on Switch, so I'm pleased.

 

[Spukc]

Maybe it will convince Capcom to localize MHXX Switch ver.

Only this

 

[Renekton]

What games do people even want from Capcom?

I'm just as confused now.

All I can conclude now is Capcom should not listen to Reddit or GAF.

 

[Spirited]

450k is a lot.

We lost.

Seriously, I'm actually angry WTF.

 

[sphinx]

"Uh, oh, now we have to give a shit."

"damn, test passed, what do we do now? I know! let's release Resident Evil. Umbrella Chronicles for $49.99 that should do the trick"

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

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

Didn't they say if it sold well they would port it over to PS4 and Xbox?

 

[Lonely1]

MHGen2.

 

[Dark Cloud]

450,000? That's a lot. I didn't buy it.

 

[Claude Augario]

Maybe they can do a shitty overpriced Darkstalkers port next and then that can be a smash hit and we'll finally get a new Darkstalkers

Spoiler

on everything but Switch because Capcpom.

 

[Lexxism]

I can't wait for $20 PS4/XB1/PC release. Right Capcom?

edit: WTF? 450K?

 

[mavericktopgun]

Daytona USA (yeah I know it isn't Capcom but one can dream)

Yessssssssssssssss this

 

[mavericktopgun]

That would be okay, actually.

I'd take it. Gladly.

 

[Piers]

Test passed?

Now Switch gets Ultra Street Fighter IV port.

 

[Lonely1]

Now Switch gets Ultra Street Fighter IV port.

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

 

[c0de]

If only the same could've been said about SF5...

 

[Sheentak]

Cab we get third strike then?
How about darkstalkers collection.
Rival schools? Alpha? Powerstone?

How about all the above in a capcom fighting game collection

 

[Jonneh3003]

More mediocre rom hacks on the way.

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

USF2 isn't mediocre by any means. The new refinements are great and the online feels flawless. It's a questionable retail product in 2017 but the quality shouldn't be shunned

 

[Seik]

Good, now port MHXX and throw in all the RE ports you can, Capcom!

 

[Shizuka]

Megaman 64 on the Switch Virtual Console coming 2018.

Nah, you can't charge $50 for a virtual console title.

Good, now port MHXX and throw in all the RE ports you can, Capcom!

But they are.

 

[Seik]

Nah, you can't charge $50 for a virtual console title.



But they are.

My bad, I meant localize.

 

[Mugy]

RE4 for Switch would probably be better than anything on the console right now (outside ARMS and Zelda IMHO)

In fact, if capcom releases:

DMC4SE
RE4
Viewtiful Joe
Okami HD
REmake
SF III Online Edition

I would play this console for an eternity. Those games are THAT good

 

[MrCarter]

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.

 

[Easy_D]

Congratulations, Switch owners. You passed the first test by buying a port of an old game, a lot!

Now Capcom know what you truly want and next they'll announce a fully featured on rails shooter based on Way of the Hado.

Spoiler

Yes I'm still salty over the Wii years

All of those on a portable yes please, yes fucking please.

Thanks for making me thinking about something that will never happen lol. Capcom why dont you like money ?

 

[Akiller]

Plotwist: this time Capcom used Switch to test their game (to eventually port it to the oher consoles) and not the other way around.

Result: Switch will not get anything from them.

What a masterplan, Capcom.

 

[heringer]

What if ARMS does?

Arms is not a matter of if, but when.

 

[Dreamwriter]

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.

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.

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.

Who expected? It was a smash hit for Capcom.
