Yea I can include Capcom as among the more disappointing third party devs when it comes to Switch support. Ultra Street Fighter IV would’ve been nice since V was a PS exclusive so I ruled that out. But who knows why they didn’t port it. Hopefully VI can come to Switch 2, but who knows..I think Ultra SFII and the 30th Anniversary collection did well on Switch. Heck a lot of their collections did well on Switch. Capcom is weird..Hell, there were rumors of an original Resident Evil game coming to Switch, something akin to the Revelations sub series. But alas, we’re likely not gonna see it maybe until Switch 2, if it ever existed.

Reminds me of the Wii days when they put out an enhanced port of RE4 and the two RE light-gun games on it to "test the waters", and even after all of those games sold well, wouldn't give the Wii an original RE game that was actually like RE4.

Capcom even asked Nintendo to increase the RAM for the Switch. Yet it took them until 2021 to release any original game in MHR. Yes, I get there were ports and collections and that games take a while to make. But it was sorta late to the party for Capcom to really take advantage of the big user base on Switch. Sure, MHStories 2, Ghost n Goblins Resurrection, and The Great Ace Attorney collection (it’s practically a new collection of games outside of Japan) released after Rise, but it felt like Capcom could’ve done more with Switch in terms of original content and even more modern ports like Ultra Street Fighter IV. Which makes me frustrated with them in regards to games on Switch. Don’t get me wrong, they’re on fire with their big releases in general. It’s just I don’t know what they’ll do with Switch 2. I hope for games like modern Resident Evil and Street Fighter VI come to the upcoming platform. I just wouldn’t be surprised if history repeats itself.
