Given what's known about the Switch audience.... That wouldn't make sense.
This is basically it, especially given Devil May Cry is in the packaging brand, which is targeted younger in Japan (despite the CERO ratings, it's often covered in children manga magazines in Japan). Though I do have to wonder how Capcom Japan felt about DmC, though, given... some of the stuff in that game that conflicted with their demographics for the series.
Something to note that Resident Evil had a really odd demographic in Japan when they initially launched in Japan. The manuals all had furigana, including the packaging for the first two games, which is an indicator the games are intended to be accessible to all ages. Resident Evil was also covered in kids magazines, such as Coro Coro Comics, which is a magazine often read by and targeted towards younger elementary school kids. Same magazine that Super Mario-kun, Ratchet & Clank, Pokemon, Splatoon, and such were all serialized in.
Having said that, I'm not entirely sure when they started gearing towards older, because even aspects of Resident Evil 3 and Code: Veronica still had goofy and "shounen" elements to it, so hard to say. Nowadays, it's targeted towards Teens and Adults, though.
But yeah. The above poster basically hits all the right notes here. There's a very good chance we could see stuff, much like DMC, that has a much broader target demographic, and not strictly Mature stuff. But it's largely capitalizing on nostalgia and for Adults who have a difficult time finding some time to being able to play these games.
Given public commutes in Japan can be several hours sometimes, it's a perfect way for some Adults to be able to play some of this stuff, so... Honestly, really good marketing strategy.
Man, theoretically, probably be perfect for this project.
Reality? Probably not.

Why the original over Ultimate though? Only benefit would be higher-quality assets but that'd only be for like a 1/3 of the game. I'd adore a proper definitive release of MH3U on Switch though. The Wii U version is awesome but felt slightly half finished with many textures (weapons, background objects) being left untouched. Plus they could get it maybe to 60fps locked or something, maybe even using the same MT Framework in MHGU since MH3U still used MT Framework Mobile.
I know we're not generally pleased with port after port but...my kingdom for DmC Definitive on the go.
I'd be hard pressed to call it that when Capcom already set the bar so low. Their games don't even chart on the eshop list anymore when they release
This might be a weird opinion, but Tri vanilla felt more raw/pure of an experience 'thanks' to less options. Tri Ultimate gives you so many quest and equipment options that it quickly devolves into the unfortunate 'let's just gang up and hack'n slay the monster!'. Tri Vanilla is the last MH that imo required a more level-headed, careful approach even in the early game, with each new monster being a major road block to overcome.
I mean, sure, I just meant the marketing strategy sounds good... on paper. Execution, well...
One of those Adult Masterpieces better be P. N. 03.
Power bottoming Chris Redfield is like that boulder punching QTE from RE5.
Exactly : ( .
I'm an adult, I want to play an old series, it's Breath of Fire, now Capcom you have no excuse, thank you.
You'll get Final Fight: Streetwise at $60 and you'll like it!
I think the most recent Strider game would be a good fit for Switch. I was also thinking about the two Bionic Commando Rearmed games as well, but I don't know if Capcom still have the code to port over.
We need that image of the guy crying over the Switch box art for the free space.
FYI, I kinda struggled making this bingo card and just started listing Capcom IP
I know it's not TGS yet, but I'd like to underline that my post aged gracefully so far. :lol
Y E S.
Though there's 1 on SNES online. Does it mean anything...
I have heard this said but never seen any evidence to back it up. It's hard to believe considering it launched so much later on Switch than it did its counterparts.
Back then 500k sold on PS4, Xbox One and Switch. Roughly 250k on Switch.
Please be Ghost Trick HD, please be Ghost Trick HD, OMG PLEASE BE GHOST TRICK HD....
I believe Revelations sold rather well on 3DS too. PS4+XB1+PC>Switch in terms on install base though so I'm not going to knock them for that transition. Every publisher not named Nintendo would make that same move.
I don't think anyone would berate Capcom for being careful; however the perfomance of USF II, MH Ultimate and the Revelations games were the kickstarter for their port stance.
Ever since Revelations 1 and 2 we've gotten 0, REmake, 4, 5 and 6. I assume we'll get more eventually. (Companies will need to have smaller cashflows somewhere. Switch seems to fit the bill for better or worse)
