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

Nintendo needs to first think about how to get their fanbase to use their platforms as a third party platform of choice rather than making the third party unique first. Thats fine for first party, but allow your third party following to amass itself first. Its complete stupidity for them to keep forgetting that.

Translation: no ports of PS4/Xbone games. Just little whatever titles for the Wii, I mean Switch.

Capcom has tremendous titles for 3ds tho, but yea no one should expect a clone of capcom main titles (RE and SF) for NS

That could potentially be a good thing for Nintendo, as having its own unique library of games on the console would be better compared to receiving the same ports the other consoles get. Although, those games need to be good quality games as well.

At least the switch would be a good fit for Monster Hunter. (And it would still be nice to get SOME ports over. I'd like to play RE7 on the switch too)

 

Good luck to 3rd party devs always making a separate version of their games.

Well, I did say potentially, and I would still welcome some ports over. There's the other side of the coin where it just doesn't work out, and the NS is in the same situation as the Wii U.

Well the support was unprecedented, anyway this pretty much means that RE7 seems to be a no go for Switch.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

They always do, and third parties always conclude they aren't worth the effort and skip them.
Nintendo has to realise that raising barriers to 3rd parties in order to be special gains them nothing.

It makes sense. I think third parties should adapt their software output to the console fanbase and the hardware itself.

Same.

 Its not really the third parties fault. Nintendo cannot be the third parties first priority when they have over sixty million gamers (and growing) to attend to elsewhere. Thats just on consoles as well. Nintendos unique games should come after they amass a third party following on their platforms once more. They should be happy they get ports, but they want to have their cake and eat it too. Im behind them with their demands for unique third party, but Nintendo should let their fans of more diverse gaming (Nintendo and third party games that is) grow and become accustomed to proper third party support. People forget that Nintendo hasnt had proper third party support since the mid 90's and then it became dismal in the 2000's. Nintendo got their unique games with the Wii but because third parties did not have the time to focus on them they did not take the ventures seriously and went for cash grab games. If Nintendo could get western developers to take them seriouslly then this will work out very well for all parties, because as it standds now if third parties gave in, the only person who wins is Nintendo would get to boast that t hey have third party , without them gaining any sort of return.

Having to make different versions of games is what is going to lead to a situation where 3rd parties dont continue to support the platform (unless software sales make up for the effort in creating the software)

This could just be a Capcom issue but if its widespread then it's potentially more worse for Switch than it is good. 

The thing is though, Capcom's comment isn't really referring to different versions of already available games, but games that are different altogether, and it sounds like they can port games over as well if they like. And this is just Capcom. How other 3rd party companies will approach the Switch, well, who knows how that will go.

and you think the situation is gonna be different now how? Its not like the Switch will run the games just as well on the PS4 xbone anyway. And those Wii U ports werent bad, hell PS3 had some worse ports and late games and those still did well. A main COD game not even selling half a mil because it didnt get DLC (most people dont buy DLC anyway) is nonsense

There we some garbage ports (mainly EA) but I 99.99% agree with all you said. Most efforts put out on WiiU were pretty good efforts by 3rd parties for what the Wii U could do.

COD my friend and I still play it on the Wii U when he visits me from another state. Why? because it has the gamepad ad we can sit and chat and have our own screens whilst we play against each other. 

The small frame rate issues (which even PS4 had) or worst gfx or missing DLC never even bothered us.

it doesnt bother most people anyone who says otherwise is looking for an excuse for these games failing on Ninty systems. There is NO excuse, they burned their 3rd party bridge years ago with N64 and was never able t truly recover. If anyone truly thinks Ninty could fix a 20 year problem in a few months is crazy.
