Switch dev talk 50,000 yen for a kit, Capcom wants to make AAA games, much more

Shame that Capcom's first Switch effort is so tepid. It should have been SFV instead.
I think Sony owns that one

That's less than HALF of what I paid for the Refurbished Wii U Dev Kit. I'm really hoping they're available to indie devs sooner than later, I want my hands on it asap.
I'd rather have UMVC3 and MVC:I

I imagine it was the screen and a pro controller which probably wouldn't be too portable if that was your only option
They likely couldn't get that one, but not even USFII at launch or something with actual effort. It's only 50% done which is kind of atrocious
have they confirmed controls for MvCI?
with it being 2v2, i hope they do 4 button as well. it'd be perfect for portables at that point

Sounds impressive for a Portable system
Sony has Street Fighter V on lock-down as far as consoles go, so it coming to the Switch is impossible (unless Nintendo slips Sony a fat check). I do believe that Capcom would have opted for SFV on the Switch instead of USFII if Sony didn't have the game on PS4 console exclusivity lock-down, but that's just a gut feeling on my part.
UMvC3 & MvCI on the other hand have a legit chance of coming to the Switch.

Yeah I thought it would be released at launch... It would have been a perfect complement to Zelda for me. I hope they don't waste too much time on this awful Hadoken mini game.

Can I has a RE5 port please?
Agreed. I'd love to have USFII on Day 1 at the cost of the Way of the Hado mode.

So every dev can afford one. Sounds fine.

Having recently played SFV, I'm glad they went with SFII instead.

I don't think that the price of dev kits is what turned off big publishers from the Wii U. A few thousands of dollars for one is a pocket change for Capcom or EA. Though I can see the benefits for indie developers, I just don't see how this will help bring over big titles on the Switch.

Nothing because you can't buy them right now.
right now nintendo only gives them to trusted developers.

because there is no advanced dev mode and its missing various input and output ports in the commercial model and the hardware is roughly clocked higher/has more ram in a dev kit.
It's really cheap.
PS4 is afaik $2500
Wii U...I think something around $5000? but someone correct me if I'm wrong
To each their own, I suppose.
Either way, it's not like Capcom had the option of porting SFV to the Switch.
Incredibly.

Free because Nintendo is giving them to devs

It took capcom 2 programmers for one month to port their MT engine compared to 4 over two months for the Wii U. That's cheap
They even explained in the interview that they were busy with other games to start a whole new project for the switch, but I expect something from them in the near future

It isn't. Nvidia gave that much away in their official press release...
(BTW, I was someone who told anybody who cared to listen that the Switch wouldn't have Polaris or be "uber-powerful" since the week before EuroGamer published that article in July). I have been meaning to write a more detailed response, but held back because I still don't feel so comfortable on here and elsewhere. The Capcom comments are interesting, because it means we can disregard everything we've read about specs on the rumour mills from certain sites.DerekOfTheDykes

You're thinking of one of the guys from IGN, I believe. I'm going to be correcting this until the end of days, but Alberto never confirmed the fake controller.

So how do we go about ordering one? :v
I wonder what Monster Hunter is being built on. UE4, I suppose.
I saw with my own eyes a post where he said it had been "confirmed" to him.

What does this mean? People here sure love to be vague

This better mean we can expect MvC:I on the Switch. Need to be able to play quick matches on the go.

You're very wrong with that Wii U figure.
Nintendo usually has the least expensive devkits, and now they're even cheaper
