| curl-6 said: 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. |
The comment you originally replied to was an in-depth analysis about how and why Japanese third party support for the Switch has been questionable. Yes, I focused a lot on Capcom and even gave some personal musings about some of their games, but the overarching point is about support from publishers previously mentioned in this thread. You seem to have used this opportunity to respond by just complaining about ports ................ again. I'm not interested.
I actually agree with you that games that are very old are not automatically relevant because they're good. But it's all dependent on the platform. The standards for Switch, and honestly Nintendo consoles in general, are low. In that sense, Capcom is one of the better companies ... and honestly you're not really denying that.
I mean for example, I can't think of a single Capcom game on Switch that's just flat out considered garbage. In fact, most of them are considered pretty good to excellent. I know that the 2nd parts of the Mega Man collections are not as highly regarded as the first parts, but they're collections ... not standalone trash.
Ancient is understandable, I'd never say that the Neo Geo ports are "great support", but irrelevant can just be used to throw away any game you don't care about. For example, out of the games I listed, you still have Resident Evil Revelations 2, Monster Hunter Generations, and Mega Man 11. Those are all pretty recent games, but because they released on x platforms I can already see you just marking them as irrelevant. They aren't the most irrelevant games ... on platforms with better support. On Switch? They're some of the most relevant third parties you have. That's a slippery slope, but the thing is, as mediocre as Switch's third party support is overall .. it's just ... mediocre. Not awful. It's not like Capcom is just a prettier piece of garbage on top of piles of crap. They've all around given a lot of great games on the platform. Some of them are old, some of them are ancient, some of them are new, pretty much all of them are great.
