Any word on Pokken DX vs Infinite?

Pokken came in 5th in UK top 10, MVCi didn't make Top 10.



Should have just released a new port of MvC 2 or 3 instead. Seriously speaking though, I don't get people who say this is a good thing. If Capcom, and by extension other companies, begin to think that it's much more financially sound to just continue rereleasing old titles on new consoles instead of making new games for them we could be looking at a rather unfortunate future for game releases.

Even though MvCI wasn't that well received, it still got much better reviews than the SFII port on the Switch did, so Capcom can also just surmise that the actual quality of the title doesn't really matter in terms of sales. Naturally there are many different factors to take into account with things like that, but it wouldn't be the first time that a video game publisher decides that a certain type of game isn't viable anymore based on some very flimsy reasoning.

That is real messed up if true. Hopefully it does better over time. But this is what happens when you take out the xmen. It was their game that started this series.

That's why I'm not even going to bother with it. I'm getting tired of Marvel's crap when it comes to merchandising towards the X-Men. So you don't have the movie rights, whatever, deal with it and stop punishing the fans.

Capcom has been doing very shady things with their fighting games since last generation. MvsC3 had a lot of problems at launch (mostly balancing issues) that were solved in the Ultimate version of that game, and not in the vanilla. Ultimate MvC3 also had a ton of DLC even though it was supposed to be the ultimate version. SFxTekken had that infamous on-disk DLC (not to mention joke Megaman), which again, enfuriated consumers. SF IV had two upgrades: Super SFIV and Ultra SFIV, which didn't make things better. Street Fighter V launch was a disaster due to lack of content at release, and to this day it's still feeling that mistake. Ultra Street Fighter II was announced to the Switch for around 40€, more or less a port of the XBox Arcade version of SFII, and Capcom said it was "a test" to see the potential the Switch had. And after the port sold quite well, surprising even Capcom itself, it turns out that Street Fighter Anniversary Collection is coming for everything BUT the Switch. And now, MvsC Infinite, once again, launches with almost 30€ of Season Pass right off the bat, with a subpar presentation and Marvel/Disney interfearence all over it.

Not to mention all of the problems Capcom has caused OUTSIDE of their fighting games.

After all of these, you can imagine why people are happy about MvsC I flopping as it is. Sad as it is, Capcom doesn't look like it's learning, so it's a good thing customers are showing them the results of their decisions.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Even Monster Hunter it's milked, and World is a betrayal to their userbase, which is Nintendo mostly

Excuse me? Monster Hunter became a hit on Playstation. If anyone was betrayed it was the Sony Fanbase. It's basically just going back to where it all began.

UK: Ultra Street Fighter II Outsold Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite In Its First Week

 

The response to Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite seems fairly lukewarm and therefore the recent UK charts have shown this. Interestingly, former MCV editor Christopher Dring has revealed to a follower on Twitter that Ultra Street fighter II for the Nintendo Switch had a better opening weekend than the recent Marvel vs Capcom title.

Two things...

A. Moved to Gaming Discussion.

B. I want your viewpoint on the matter.

Gentaii a moderator has asked for your views, probably because you can't just copy and paste an article and not add your own opinion. I see you have found time to quote other users though....

To be fair, it's still a pretty ugly move against Nintendo fans. Monster Hunter has been Capcom's main cash cow during the 8th gen, and now they are just going to abandon the millions of players they had on Nintendo systems without any real motive. A multiplat would have made everyone happy, but they decided to, once again, annoy and anger their userbase.

I'm sure that's how the Sony Fanbase felt aswell when they switched to Nintendo. Anyway, I bet MH world will end up on the Switch as well. How could it not.

True. It's a sad thing this series has become somewhat of a bargaining chip between Nintendo and Sony, with the only one profiting from it being Capcom. Nintendo wanted it to keep the Vita at bay during the early days of the 3DS vs Vita, and likewise, I'm sure Sony wants it too to strenghten their position in Japan. If it could just be shared with everyone (Switch, PS4, XBOne and PC), I'm sure it would help popularize the IP in the West and bring that sweet cash anyway.
