I hate when companies put games hostage. So if another game that has nothing to do with the DMC series doesnt sell well than they wont release DMC?

How stupid. Just dont say anything at all Capcon. Id rather silence than some idiotic buisness strategy that only benefits your needs.

Make Dragons Dogma a success than you have DMC. No thanks.

What the hell, Capcom? Dragon's Dogma is not even in the same genre as Devil May Cry 5. Stop doing this "test" nonsense and just bring it to the Switch.

You guys are getting upset over nothing.  DD is not a test and DMC5 is not being held hostage.

DMC5 coming to Switch is something that has already been decided. Its either feasible and worth the investment on a high selling console, or its not.

So either Capcom has already decided DMC5 is coming to the Switch, in which case they are bullshitting us with that statement to try and sell more copies of Dragon's Dogma, or they have decided already to not make it, in which case they are incredibly shady for giving us falses hopes and, once again, bullshitting us to try and sell more Dragon's Dogma. Either way, this is messed up.

Eh, I figure if you want to play big third party AAA titles then you gotta have something other than a Switch to play them on. Either a PC, X1, or PS4. Otherwise you're just missing out on a ton of titles. The Switch is fantastic for Nintendo titles and kiddy stuff like the aforementioned Paw Patrol, but it's not a platform one should buy if you're hoping to play Capcom's or any other third party's (aside from Bethesda it seems) big budget titles on it.

Nah that's a bunch of bullshit. It's not just Nintendo and kiddy titles that do well, it's pretty much everything does well on Switch. Indies have sold well, retro titles have sold well, previous gen remasters have sold well, Japanese titles have sold well, hardcore titles have sold well, etc.

Bandai-Namco, Square-Enix, Capcom, Sega, Koei-Tecmo, Bethesda, Blizzard, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Take-Two among other publishers and dozens of indies have publicly stated that their games have done well on Switch so to say that it's just Nintendo and kiddy games that sell well is just making up your own false narrative.

But your whole post misses the entire point. Most people understand that Switch can't run certain AAA 3rd party games so if Capcom said that Switch couldn't run Devil May Cry at an acceptable level than there wouldn't be an issue, the problem is they said you first have to buy the 12th late port in a different franchise & genre before we will consider porting DMC.

Just ignore Megiddo, especially when he is in flaming mode. You will not get happy. The funny point here is, that the game Capcom wants  to sell - Dragon's Dogma - is far from "kiddy stuff" in the first place, but he just had to use that wording to enrage Switch-fans. I am tired of his attitude and you shouldn't encourage him by answering.

If what you are saying is true (it seems believable at least), people are getting upset over a shady tactics to sell a game to people who don't want it with a lie, as you say the sales of that game don't matter. That is not being upset over nothing.

Fun fact: I have no interest in DMC, but I think Dragons Dogma looks cool. I haven't played it on a different platform, so I will get it for Switch. DMC-fans, please be thankful to me.

I only skimmed the first 10 posts, and I get the resentment towards Capcom's tactics.........You filthy animals should be buying DDDA. It's freaking amazing. Don't let it's age deter you. You go buy! Go buy now! I almost started a run on the DDDA remaster today, but had to buckle down and play EDF 5 for 5 hours.

This is a losing battle from the start Dragon's Dogma has been out for 7 years, and it's been on pretty much every major platform. They're pulling a Ubisoft with Watchdogs. "we'll support the Wii U only if this game, that doesn't have it's DLC and it's been out on every major console out there for a year now, sells really well."

It's called business, kids. Your feels don't come into it. Even Nintendo is a business, not your friend.

Every game is a test, if sales aren't good they have to change the strategy. Be it not putting that type of game on the system, or improving said game, etc. Just that most companies aren't open on it.

Capcom's Next Test: Maybe consider Resident Evil 7 if Ducktales sells well.

I will be getting Dragon's Dogma because it looks really fun to me. Gives me Skyrim vibes. Plus it's 39.99 Canadian, so that is a darn good price for a new game (new to me). But holding a game from a different franchise and genre hostage makes zero sense.

No point being upset about this because in the end if it does come whether it is day 1 or day 1000, they will put 10% of the game on a cart and expect you to download 90%
