Capcom Wants Their Nintendo Switch Titles To Feel Different Than PS4/XB1 Games

All it means is that Switch is too weak to handle their regular games and they have to make Switch themed games that can work on it. Its a bad thing. Its not playing to the strengths of 3rd parties who want easy ports. This is a discouraging sign. It means that eventually Switch will be abandoned like Wii U was.

It means that they won't do bland and unispired ports of games avaliable in every single console, the Switch version has to stand out somehow.

Bland and uninspired is exactly what core gamers want. They don't care about how unique it is. They want their Maddens, CoDs, and FIFAs on a regular controller. They also don't want compromises in order to make the game work on the system, and that is what we're most likely to see. 3rd party will be making all sorts of sacrifices in order to make a game fly on Switch. Eventually they will have to pretty much break their games to do it, and it will be too much effort.

I'm thinking that by the end of next year we'll hear next to nothing from 3rd party devs when all their big AAA franchises can't work on Switch.
