Capcom really have stepped up for Switch 2; RE Requiem/7/Village, Pragmata, RE Veronica next year, Kunitsu-gami and Street Fighter 6 back at launch, and now this.

Huge change from last gen where their support outside of MH Rise was half-hearted.

Switch 1 was just way less capable. As opposed to seeing it as half-hearted, the truth is it was just a much bigger and less intelligent investment to get games onto that platform. Their games made for PS4/Xbox One specs wouldn't of scaled down well without significant investment, and creating ground up exclusives for the Switch wouldn't make sense when they had a very lucrative PS/PC market where relevancy there established their current success. Monster Hunter for example wouldn't have had its break out global success without that modern, AAA experience World delivered back in 2018. 

S2 actually fits in with their ecosystem instead of requiring them to shift their ecosystem specifically to incorporate Nintendo. 

Something like MH World wouldn't have been viable to bring to Switch 1, but I see no real reason why they couldn't have ported say RE7 when much more demanding games ended up making their way across like Witcher 3, Doom Eternal, or Hogwarts Legacy.

Still, better late than never; they're certainly making up for lost time now.
