It's not fair to pick on Capcom. They only have a yearly output of 0.75 games. No way could they add Switch support.

Finally, yeah, this FY is problematic for Capcom. But the problem isn't the lack of small games, it's that they can't make at least one new AAA by year. Releasing a new Monster Hunter on Switch wouldn't change that.

Thz problem is that they announced a strategy (2 AAA games per year) that they can't follow, and you cited various reasons why.

They should rework their strategy because it is not sustainable.

Always funny to see the silly moving goalposts "arguments" after at best uninformed claims.

While Mortal Kombat continues its success against Street Fighter and even looks to prosper even further, Capcoms "forwardthinking" strategy brought the Street Fighter series to the point it is now, relative disinterest and decline.
MH is also already seeing a decline in Japan and it remains to be seen if Western sales can be repeated. That the budget re-release is still at sub 100k in Japan, isn't exactly promising a huge untapped market on PlayStation. Their overreliance on basically two big IPs namely MH and Resident Evil isn't exactly without risks and there is a limit to how much they can leverage their catalog titles (most of the titles with significant selling potential already released), which was an important pillar the past few years, even more so this year in particular.

Yeah, Witcher 3 should put an end to any speculation about whether the Switch can run a PS4 game or not. It's just a matter of whether or not the publisher believes the amount of work is worth it.

I think for a publisher like Capcom it probably is, especially if there are good developers like Iron Galaxy publicly telling them "We can port this game to switch for you".

Koei Tecmo is less than 2000 people and they manage to put out the occasional AAA game(Team Ninja stuff) and have a massive portfolio of new AA stuff every year.

I disagree with the notion that because The Witcher 3 on Switch is feasible, AAA devs have "no excuses". It doesn't always come down to it being feasible. The Witcher 3 on Switch has been in development since at least a year, more likely over a year and a half by a dedicated team. It's taking a lot of ressources, but CDProjekt can do it because they're a very successful one-game studio (not counting the very small mobile/console titles like Gwent) and the vast majority of their focus was on Cyberpunk.

You can't expect every company to dedicate a significant part of their team (or deploy the resources to contract an external studio) to downscale their big titles for over a year/or even more than that just for a release on Switch. While it has its perks (in the case of TW3, it allows to reach a bigger and more casual audience with a very acclaimed title), it's very costly and it's why we only see it in specific scenarios. Would RE2R run on the console ? Very likely, yes. Would it be worth taking the time to port and releasing it in 2020 or later ? That's much more debatable.

That said, it's kinda ridiculous to consider Capcom an "AAA company". They barely release a game every year that sells like an AAA. Which is where the fact that Capcom's Switch support being terrible is really head scratching, because there's a ton of stuff they could release on it.

Well, CDPR is the very definition of a company that releases only 1 AAA game every 4 years, but that doesn't really indicate that commissioning a port for them is therefore easier, especially considering they are indeed outsourcing it. It all comes down to finding a port studio if you don't dedicate your own employees to it, which might be more difficult as a Japanese studio due to language barriers, but it shouldn't be so impossible I think (Virtuos have been doing some great ports, for example). But I agree that we should wait for some word on how Witcher 3 is doing before we claim that there are no excuses: I'm sure Witcher 3 took quite some resources to port, and they will want some good sales in return. But the excuse that it is not feasible by default should be laid to rest at least: maybe there are some complications that make it too difficult, but that should no longer be the default assumption.

As for Capcom: they will certainly get tons of sales for a MH project on Switch (Japan alone should return on investment and then some), so I don't think it will be a problem to get a return on investment from that.

CDPR didn't even know about the existence of the switch when W3 was in development. Japanese publishers have known what the Switch is for at least 3 years, and have known it's a successful platform for 2 years. They're in a much better position to be porting their games to switch than CDPR ever was.

Not if you read the forums from 2016 to 2018. Plenty of people said this and that game just wasn't possible except for a slideshow at 240p. Even when Witcher 3 was rumoured, some people were comparing it to Ark, which was a rather uninformed comparison considering Ark ran like trash everywhere already.

I'm rather glad CDPR confirmed target resolutions, otherwise those hot takes would still be ongoing.

I think that's the main problem. It's fine to say that a game can be ported, but we don't know how costly it'll be to do the port job and I'm sure Japanese companies will port the game after they've released it for other consoles, reducing sales potential on the switch.

Nost don't have the resources or services (like Panic Button or Iron Galaxy) to work on both the switch version and other platforms at once (but that's also because of how they approach making games with the switch as an after thought).

Really see no reason to make any excuses for publishers, the arguments went from isn't possible, to is it worth it? Sometimes you need to take risks, ports aren't a trivial matter, but let's not overblow the presumed need of resources, especially compared to actual new games and for a system that sells as well as Switch. As for taking risks, let's not forget that Capcom (USA) didn't even release a collection of NES Disney games on Switch... Even if not every single game grants you huge profit margins, it can still be beneficial longterm, case in point Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter (16bit-32/64bit-128bit etc.).

Well, there's an assumption with this line of thinking that all projects are going to be wildly expensive. Games like Witcher 3 will be wildly expensive, but what about God Eater 3? Clearly Bamco think it's financially feasible and interesting to do it, despite it probably not even breaking 500k.

For larger games, you almost certainly will be looking at bigger games that are more likely than for example God Eater 3 to sell a lot. So, as you scale up to bigger games, the financial return should also be bigger. It's currently the biggest and richest publishers that are missing on the system, despite their games having the largest potential to sell (at least when comparing to mid-tier late ports like we are currently mostly getting), so it's not obvious to me that it's purely ROI and opportunity that are the only reasons why a project doesn't get greenlighted for Switch. I feel the aspects of general disinterest in Nintendo platforms as a viable platform and an assumption that their games cannot run period are non-trivial aspects here.

The existence of The Witcher 3 on Switch, in fact, shows even more how Capcom might be missing a train on Switch. MH is as popular as ever, developing on Switch is not as expensive as it is developing on higher-end platforms and PC and the team already has some experience on the hardware.

It was a joke, but really they don't have a strong regular output, to even get 3 games one has to count a budget game, a remake and start counting at some arbitrary point such as 8 months.

To be fair, the remake is kinda a new game in terms of development. It took a bigger team and some years to complete it. And he could have just said withing the last year instead of 8 months, or said 4 games within a year (counting upcoming Monster Hunter World: Iceborn) :)

If a port project is more difficult, it could be more appealing and profitable than easier ports.
But new games always want skilled developers and it could (or should) be more appealing and profitable than astonishing ports.

I see it available here, or maybe it was replenished in between ?

Word of mouth is pretty good about YW4 btw. Big issue is the framerate, which constantly drops throughout the game (Hino already promised post-launch patches to improve it) but apart from that, it's seemingly a quality game for Yokai Watch fans.

The Switch is in its 3rd year now. It was fine originally when the system was new and unproven for there to be no day and date releases. Now though, late ports are going to struggle against the massive back catalog of available games unless you are bringing over something already very popular.

MHGU was the 9th best grossing third party game in the US despite how fucking awfully handled that release was. If Capcom can't find resources to bring Monster Hunter World or a new generation of Monster Hunter to the Switch but they can waste their time on Devil May Cry 5 a game that's total lifetime sales would be eclipsed by a new MH in Japan alone, no one can seriously be arguing about resources.

Or since Nintendo is publishing in the west, Nintendo PR? Or would it be included in quarterly reports if it tops 1 million.

Would it really need to have a retail release?

In their earnings releases Nintendo always update thier million sellers title's sales with both shipment and digital, but if Cadence of Hyrule could sell 1 million with just digital wouldn't it still get added to the list?

Would it really need to have a retail release?

In their earnings releases Nintendo always update thier million sellers title's sales with both shipment and digital, but if Cadence of Hyrule could sell 1 million with just digital wouldn't it still get added to the list?

We can also get numbers on the slides they publish. That's how we got Snipperclips 1st month performance.

Nintendo has history of giving retail releases at digital only in the beginning that did good numbers, Cadence of Hyrule isn't an exception.

Even Tetris 99 is getting a retail release. I expect the same thing will happen with Cadende of Hyrule at some point.

Also, even if a digital only (at launch) game gets a retail release, I'm not sure digital sales prior to its physical launch would count in Nintendo's earnings releases.

PSV retail games production continues normally in Japan with nothing having been announced for stop. Maybe at the end of Fiscal Year but it could continue even further as long as games are developed for it.

Has there been a vita game in the past year that was worth releasing games this late?

I doubt it's close to 1 million for now anyway. I see it closer to what Hollow Knight did last year, that was 250k in two weeks. Maybe a bit more than that.

Ok, thanks. Does this apply to the total software sales too? Like, did they add Minecraft's first year sales to it afterwards?

It's mostly visual novels with small runs. The last three serious releases for Vita were Persona 3 and 5 Dancing (August 2018) and Fate/Extella Link (June 2018). There's Pro Yakyuu Spirits on schedule for July, but that's about it. I guess they'll stop manufacturing at the end of the fiscal year.

Sure, but this just shows how Capcom is running out of ideas if one of its biggest games of the past years is a remake.

People really wanted an RE2 remake and Capcom really wanted to shut down the RE2 fan remake that was happening.

FF7R is going to be the biggest Japanese, non-Nintendo console game (worldwide) of this gen 🤷

It looks like that new Atelier girl might just save Gust. Never seen this kind of engagement on twitter for the series and there's fanart everywhere.
