Even when a Nintendo system has an active userbase for once, third parties still find a way to screw us over.
"Our old games are actually selling well? Port more 15 year old titles and jack up the prices! They'll buy it anyway!"

Yeah at this point even if self sabotage isn't intentional, the effect is the same.
Paid for RE4 and Phoenix Wright Trilogy for full price. I'm part of the problem. I'll wait for sales on the other REs and the other Phoenix Wright games when they release later this year. RE4 and the PW trilogy is too good to pass up.
Is there a good reason why they don't release the original PS1 versions of RE1, 2, and 3?
Let me play those fucking games again.

A "Classic Trilogy" package for around £20 or so would be great. I've already been playing those three games on my Switch via Retroarch but it would be cool to have some sort of a port.
I think I would like RE4 on the Switch, but not for that price. I'm also afraid the game won't hold up at all anymore after playing REmake2.
You can play them on Vita :) I bought it years ago dirt cheap (below $10 for all 3).
I'm playing Revelations now on the switch and it's hard to play it on the tv due to the graphic difference. Handheld mode is awesome though.
I originally thought it was £30 for all of them and wondered what everyone was complaining about.
£30 each is just insane.

I (mostly) defend those releases and criticise Capcom. And there is a reason for that. First of all there is not anything wrong with the Mario Bros price. It includes Luigi U and has other new content with new characters which really changes the whole game. Tropical Freeze is more valid criticism. It cost 10 dollars/euros too much. But even then you have a new mode which changes how the game plays and it is originally only available on a dead system that almost no one has. It is also easily worth the asking price. Still should be same price as it was on its Wii U launch. What Capcom is doing here is not comparable at all.

Knowing Capcom they'd charge 30 for each. (Only on switch though)
I remember when REV1 & 2 came out if you bought one you got a discount on the other. Eshop can be quite good for that kind of thing but they didn't even bother here lol. £30 for Remake and Zero and I'd probably be happy enough.
As i've written in the other thread, with no physical release (EU) and the digital price hike ... Capcom can just freak off for good. Last Switch game i'll get from them is Dragons Dogma by import from Amazon JP, but that's it. I'm tired of having to import when there's even some Limited Run Games releases that probably sell less than DD physical would. And now i'm also having to pay more for a digital only release of old games that were cheaper at release on other platforms.
And the argument that it's more expensive to release Switch carts compared to PS4/XOne discs is a valid excuse for small pubs and devs, but for a company that last year and this year just had multiple million sellers, including their most successful game ever, it's not an excuse.
I'm used to some strange decisions by japanese devs/pubs ... but Capcom is really out there trying to 1UP all the others.
FF XII and X / X-2 at least get a (semi) physical release in Europe. That you have to download X-2 is disappointing, but at least you get 2 other full games on carts.

Hahahaha only one game on the card and of course it's the stinker. If this is 60$ Capcom is truly insane.
As far as i know, nope. Already looked for it on Amazon JP ... again.
I thought it would have a cartridge everywhere.
Damn. I'm pissed, that's the kind of game I want on a cartridge.
Dammit
For some reason I thought it was the exception.
Now I'm conflicted.
I guess they know that we're all going to buy it when it's on sale.. They're just fleecing the whales first :/
The more outlets that make a noise about this, the better.
I've seen Doom PS4/XBO for £10 on sale in the UK. Maybe even £5, IIRC.
i saw doom on release day on switch full price and the shop staff had blatantly surrounded it with PS4 copies for £8. I was amazed it sold so well on switch but it looks like almost anything decent will sell well on the system which is a huge change for Nintendo, just wish Capcom had put resident evil 1 on the cart at the very least.
they could at least make an offer like :
RE 30€ or 15€ if you already purchased RE0
RE0 30€ or 15€ if you already purchased RE
They did that for Resident Evil Revelations
RE 30€ or 15€ if you already purchased RE0
RE0 30€ or 15€ if you already purchased RE
They did that for Resident Evil Revelations
I also find 30$ to be too high of a price, but consider this:
I bought my switch 2 months ago, and decided I'm all digital this time, was looking to buy something along with Botw and Dark souls and I searched for Skyrim... Which is older than hell itself... And costs 60...
So nothing surprises me anymore.

So does RE4 have motion aiming or not?
A 50% sale on these is inevitable, but £15/£20 normal price would give them great numbers at launch. It's a silly move by Capcom. I won't be buying at full price anyway.

"We have released high quality software on the Nintendo Switch system but Switch owners were not interested in these titles. Therefor we decided to no longer support the system with Resident Evil related software."
Sadly I don't think these are going to sell poorly, even at this price.
Imagine the hype if they just came out with an RE collection physical for 50 dollars (with the individual games being 20 each). Don't get this move at all, almost seems like it was done to intentionally dampen any enthusiasm.
Sadly I agree. I think they'll sell well even at the ridiculous prices.
These would have been impulse buys for me at $15-20 a pop. Especially RE4
But I can always break out my wii and play RE4. And there I'll have the option of playing with a GameCube controller or motion controls. With this Switch port, I'm not so sure

Yeah. Companies don't base their decisions out of thin air. Surely, the strategic business department priced this accordingly to maximize profit.
I'll do my part by not supporting this price tag.
There are a lot of small indie games out there that got a physical release. The Crapcom does not manage to do that for big games like RE that is bound to sell well is just embarrassing.
This is all I want really. Might have to just bite the bullet and rebuy a Vita to have these games in portable form.
Exactly. The price isn't random or an attempt to fuck over switch owners. They will have data that tells them this price point is good. They probably already have a road map of when the games will be discounted and by how much. They clearly think this price point will maximise profits. Whether that turns out to be true remains to be seen.
Because people will pay it, then drop the price a month later and get everyone else.
It's really not hard to see the plan.

It's a bit spenno but I don't think they should be priced the same as the other console version (which weren't that price when released I'm pretty sure). I mean someone had to do something to make it run on switch. $20 max.
