Capcom's support is trash because pretty much every single game they have released is just a re-release/rom dump of games that came out years or even generations ago. Most of them aren't even current gen, they've just gone down into the basement where they keep their dusty old games in a box and emptied it wholesale onto the platform.

Then, just to add insult to injury, almost every one has horrid practices like only half the game being on the cart or no retail release even when other platforms got one.

Pretty much no other dev has dicked over Switch owners like Capcom have.

I'm sorry, I just don't agree. I think I've provided enough detail in the response you're replying to for you to understand why. But to clarify a little more, I feel like this is an incredibly disingenuous line of thinking, although if that's your opinion it's fine. Could they do better? Sure ... but let's be honest, pretty much none of their recent releases are suitable for Switch. Street Fighter V is exclusive, Marvel vs. Capcom flopped hard, Monster Hunter I just think would be a disaster on Switch ... honestly. The Resident Evil franchise is the only example that I can think of where there's massive room for improvement. Although given the fact that they have two Monster Hunter teams ... you're probably going to get a brand new MH game on Switch anyways.

A good game is a good game and in the end of the day Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2, as well as Monster Hunter Generations are some of the only big "current gen" (although the whole 3DS/Wii U/Switch thing has made that incredibly confusing ... which isn't Capcom's fault) titles on Switch, along with Mega Man 11, which is extremely oriented towards a Nintendo audience and is a game fans have been waiting for. That's not bad support, like, at all. That's four current gen games. That's an opinion of course and you're free to not share it. But that's games that are more relevant than what 99% of publishers are giving.

Although really half the reason my reply was made was because I was expecting the line of thinking to be similar more so to the average Nintendo forumgoer, it was not directed towards you. It's not made for someone that complains about ports 24/7 consistently across the board, because that's a consistent standard that I can accept. And I've called out there "horrid" practices time and time again. You can look at my recent post in the Nintendominion thread about the Mega Man pricing. Unfortunately I just don't see it as being that "horrid", nor do I think it disqualifies their position as one of the better publishers (the internet part, not the pricing). 

A good game that's old is no longer relevant because if I wanted it I would've already played it on 3DS years ago, as in fact I did with Revelations.

And 3DS is not current gen anymore as it has been succeeded.

Sure, they've released a lot of games, but when pretty much every one is ancient, irrelevant, or garbage, that's still not good support.
