Its not in line with Capcoms pricing of similar Switch ports on Switch in the past - thats all there is to is.
People bringing up other publisher, games or systems are missing the point.

Another thing to mention in the OP is that RE0 HD actually has new content in it from GCN RE0 with the Wesker Mode. That's something that's getting me to buy the Origins Collection eventually here. It's not Switch-specific for this version but it's new content for anyone who wants these to supplant the original GCN/Wii versions of RE0 and REmake (the Japanese version has remastered versions of Wesker's Report in there as well so I wonder how that shakes out on Switch which seems to be a global SKU for REmake and RE0 - can we access it if we switch to Japanese?)
Also some neat under the hood improvements for RE0 (stolen from gamefaqs with some stuff I found elsewhere...the RE wikis are a real letdown here with no actually detailed rundown of these differences)

$40 Canadian for RE4? Lol naw.
Considering what the Revelations games launched at there is 0 chance I will buy these until they get a 70% discount. Total trash price.

Would really like to get some communication from Capcom on why these releases are like this. I mean obviously it's because $$$ but the inconsistency with these very same ports on other platforms is very scumbag.
They hate the Switch as a platform and all the gamers in that ecosystem.
I half joke, but Capcom has stated that their focus is on big AAA experiences and Switch conveniently defies their expectation of what gamers want.
Seems pretty stupid to make business decisions based on pettiness but then again Capcom has a history of making very questionable decisions. It's more likely down to bad management of their switch division but it's still pretty weird compared to past ports on the platform (ie: Okami)
I got disappointed all over again because I forgot they were charging $30 for RE4 in 2019. I don't see it going on sale for $20 or less anytime soon either, we'll probably get $25 at some point but even that is more than I would pay.
I think it always behooves consumers to have a reasonable expectation of pricing and make their displeasure known when those expectations are not met.
I can't even imagine the thought process behind porting RER collection with Gyro controls and then not having them in RE4. Embarassing. Back when these ports were announced and people were saying that these will have no new features, I thought to myself that that can't be true, Capcom will reveal more info as we get closer to release. I was wrong.
Nintendo does not set prices for other publisher's games. Neither does any other platform holder.
The Revelations games are on sale all the time. RE4 will hit its 50% off sale sooner or later this Q3/Q4.
Does the Wii version maintain the realtime cutscenes from the Gamecube? e.g. if you wear a different costume, it's reflected in the cutscenes. I hate how in the PS4, etc. versions

If any capcom ports are going to have new features they tend to yell it from the rooftop ASAP. These RE ports and the upcoming DMC are likely to be very similar. With no new big titles for this FY besides Mon Hun. Might be a case of pushing out more solid ports with less new features to make up for that. Since adding new features can add more time to a port when you're trying to fill a FY.
As has been talked to death at this point in here: no.
Hence me posting this just a few posts above yours.
REmake will definitely be on my Switch when it's on sale, at least 33% off, Zero when it's at least 50% off and I'm no inerested on RE4 because I already have it on Wii, though it is a shame it doesn't have gyro aiming, I hope they add it on a patch like Panic Button did with Doom.
Yes. They priced all their previous releases appropriately. Here they got greedy.
Unless some huge backlash campaign hits them, they won't care. RE4 sells itself.
Only for Ada's side-story that originated on PS2, and that's true for every version thereafter. (And, like, one short cutscene in the main-game with a bridge or something, but that's a 5 second scene without any character models.) Shame on you.
Huh. Maybe I'm getting mixed up with the Separate Ways cutscenes? It's been a little while.
I didn't expect this because all previous Capcom multiplatform releases were reasonably priced on Switch , even the Ace Attorney Trilogy and Onimusha, which came out this year, so this doesn't make sense (the "exclusives" like USFII and GU weren't though). And for the most part, most multiplatform Switch releases have had the same digital price as the PS4/One Versions without a sale, obviously there are examples of this not happening like the 2 you posted, and that's not nice either, but at the very least those are last gen games and both ports are pretty damn good and Bayonetta you can get a discount if you buy both 1 and 2, these on the other are Gamecube games, and RE4 won't have any kind of physical release.

Yea it's only Separate Ways. That's on the wikis as one of the established main differences between HD and OG versions.
*Capcom gouges Switch owners*
Consumers: Fuck Nintendo.
Capcom:
Price feels bad, man. RE4 is 60fps, right? Do we know what framerates REmake and RE0 are running on?
Do we have any impressions on these yet? I know RE4 has no gyro aiming but does the framerate hold up? Decent visuals? Decent controls?
Funnily enough thanks to Capcom (and their excellent Dragon's Dogma port and price) I have enough to play to wait this out for a sale.

The games have been ported to death, their biggest target group is die hard fans that are gonna multi-dip.
Is RE4 60fps on Switch? I don't know.
But REmake and RE0 ran at 30fps on PS4.
Capcom USA said earlier in this thread that they are based on the PS4 versions and RE4 would be 60fps. Guess that means REmake and RE0 will be the same framerate they were on PS4 as well.
I find it hard justifying myself to rebuy RE4 just for portable play. I was so excited when this got announced regardless of the price but the lack of new features is a bummer. Would have expected motion control at minimum. The fact no features were added make it too much of a cash grab for me.
It's barebones in a few aspects (like most of the RE4 ports). Can't change the sensitivity of aiming for one, so aiming with the joycons will feel weird to some people.
Also don't remember being able to shoot with the face buttons if you're on a controller config that has you shooting with the triggers on the 360 and PS4 ports ... but I can shoot guns with ZR, Y and A on the type II button config ..
EDIT: Booted up PS4 version. Type II doesn't play like this there.
Also affects knife attacks and how you confirm item pick ups.

Why would a business need to communicate why it chooses to price its titles?
Correctomundo. 60fps for RE4.
RE0/1 will be 30fps — same as PS4/XB1.
We also included an Achievements system within each game.
In a nutshell, features/content, performance, and graphical fidelity are pretty much on par with current gen systems. The benefit here is that you can enjoy the same experience on-the-go or in docked mode.
This may be a long shot, but is there any chance you can please suggest updating the RE4 home menu icon so that it features a key visual and the game's logo, as per Nintendo's recommended guidelines and for consistency's sake with other icons? It's one of my favorite games, and I would like it to have a pretty "cover" if I buy it for the sixth time, lol. :)

I never understood the lack of 60 FPS on Zero/REmake HD for consoles. They are unlocked on PC and it doesn't break anything AFAIK.
Yes, i know that those games have pre-rendered backgrounds and it is barely noticeable, but with higher framerate the input response would be better. I remember that because on PC input response at 60 was way more comfortable than at 30 FPS.
I think I'll buy the RE0/REmake physical version and wait for a sale to pick up RE4. Having RE4 on the go would be great but not something that I want strongly enough to pay full price for. I absolutely would've bought it day one if it had the motion aiming as it would be really nice to have that version of RE4 on a modern platform but oh well.
Doesn't playing REmake unlocked result in some issues? Its been long enough since I've played it that I don't remember but I definitely recall there being some issue with playing REmake at 60fps.
