- Start date
yep this is to gather interest to see if its worth porting it over. Yall want DMC on switch this is your chance.
not even giving people the game the majority prefers? Capcom can keep their bullshit tests
Yeah. Capcom could release DMC1 just fine, and port the other games later if they want.
This isn't like EA porting ME3 and ME3 by itself before peacing out.
Pretty much. I'm near 100% positive this is done because of how there's never been a DMC game on Nintendo systems and unlike RE or Okami they don't have any estimate or idea on how well the series or genre could do. This is pretty much their best bet though I'm surprised they didn't go with DMC4SE since that's standalone. Then again, as a newcomer planning to buy this to get into the series, starting from the 4th game of a 5 game story would be weird. If it's $30 or under, I'm game since I hear this game has a lot of stuff to make it worth playing a lot. I technically have the collection on Twitch prime as well, but I'd rather not have my first impressions of the franchise be with a keyboard. Maybe if I like this one a ton I'll reluctantly give 2/3 an early try on my PC.
This also reminds me that I really should finish Bayonetta since people seem to treat it as a sister game to this franchise, and if this is anywhere near as good then I'm super excited.

Their best bet was to sell the trilogy at the same price they did the other platforms.
Isn't doing it this way more work? Instead of porting over the existing collection, they are ripping out one game and porting it standalone. Just seems inefficient.
Oh my god, that would be amazing lmao I kinda want to see them try
It is crazy how quickly Capcom has begun screwing over Switch owners. You would never think that Dragon's Dogma and the upcoming RE ports were just a mere month apart in release, but now we have this and the contempt is as bare-assed as they come.
If they were only going to port one it should have been 3.
Please don't buy this in hopes of Capcom deciding to port more games. It's a crummy practice to hold consumers hostage like that and people fall into that trap all too often.

We've got to hear about price, but I can't bring myself to be miffed about receiving DMC1 when it is the last remaining holdout among Kamiya-directed games to be absent from Nintendo systems.
They had the nerve to package all the bad MegaMan x games together, I wouldn't put it past them
You'd think but after how badly they got burned on Wii U and Wii with anything not E for everyone and that wasn't a familiar IP (Dead Rising did horribly on the Wii for one big example) I don't blame them for wanting to be the absolute, absolute stingiest with a totally foreign IP on the system. I don't know if the three HD versions were developed one after the other or all at once, but if it's the former then they could very well be doing the trilogy and are just releasing them all when they're done.
Some fans prefer 1 over 3, if you are new to the series i guess 1 is a good place to start and play the 'roots' even if 3 is a prequel
Wouldn't surprise me.
1. DMC doesn't sell. Switch fails the test and no more DMC ports.
2. DMC sells at $30 according to or greater than expectation. Great! Capcom can milk Switch owners some more.
then they're better off not doing anything at all. if their response is to set themselves up for failure*, then why do anything at all
*failure might be a little harsh, but depending on price and the fact that people can get 2 games and a turd for nearly the same price is going to deter folks
the games are stand alone. story isn't so interwoven that they need to be played sequentially. they should put their best foot forward rather than this
I love Capcom, but this, and the pricing for the RE games on Switch, are absolutely absurd. No thanks.

You'd think after 3 years of their shit still selling well on the fucking platform they would be confident enough in their own fucking product and marketing to not piece meal a budget HD rerelease and expect people to fucking take it.
But no because they got burned on a Some small games and a pared-back Dead Rising almost a decade ago and suddenly every goddamn release is them testing the waters for 3 years. Yeah this is logical. This is business acumen. You truly opened my eyes.
