Goddammit Capcom.Why are you being so lame with Nintendo and Switch when you are being so awesome with everyone else?

At least they could come with some BS answer like Reggie did why RDR2 is not on the switch.

Yea, I have no problem with developers saying it's either "viable enough to develop a port for the Switch" or "no, it is not feasible at this time."

The Switch is selling well and Capcom's previous ports have been doing well. How many more tests do we have go through just to get an original game or a high-profile multiplat game for the Switch, outside of Mega Man 11? When Ubisoft is outclassing you [Capcom] with more original titles and multiplats and you have a better third party history with Nintendo, then something is wrong here.

Everyone, Capcom is run by monkeys: chimpanzees, specifically. They're very cute in their little suits, but their business decisions leave a lot to be desired. Two years into the Switch and Capcom has only published one new game (Mega Man 11), and the rest are ports. Tell us to buy ports of unrelated series/genres to get a game we may want.

What exactly is their big plan for the Japanese market? The West they'll do fine, but the way the wind is blowing, it's looking like PS5 won't be as successful as the Switch in Japan. Depends on what Sony has up their sleeve for next-gen, of course. Are they going to seriously ignore Nintendo forever, even with a new Monster Hunter, not a lazy 3DS port? It'd make the most sense to put it on both.

Yeah I am not waiting for a maybe based on the sales of an old, albiet great, RPG that failed to pull people in from last gen. Why not just come out and say, "we do not want to port it" because that is all you are trying to do by creating this scapegoat. Even if it does sell well, it will never sell phenomenally enough to where they cannot say "by our standards it under performed" and blame that for not porting it over.

Playing on PS4, so I guess I have no real right to complain. It just annoys me when devs try to dance around saying yes or no with these head games and giving people false hope.

What's the use of a heavily downgraded port...?

Either port it or don't. Stop with the "test" bullshit.

I have no idea why people are getting mad at Capcom so does the director of the game speak on behalf for the company now or what ? 

On a more creepy optimistic note, I can see why the Director might pressure a customer base to make a game do well enough to serve his own possible wet dream ... 

I guess it's for the others to interpret whether the director has genuine feelings or not but I imagine the higher ups already made a decision unless he wants to present another case for it to happen in which he is trying to justify using this specific instance ... 

FWIW, the Switch is good enough to unilaterally receive last gen ports and many other smaller projects but people should be asking themselves if it's good enough to receive games based on their new RE Engine ? If there is a 'test' then that's the only one I can see where it could be absolutely necessary for the Switch ... 

The director never said that and I think there might be some misplaced anger ... 

So basically you misconstrued the director's words ... 

Well considering that your basis at the beginning is false and the fact that DMC 5 clearly has different standard compared to those games, you might want to rethink that ...
