- Start date
This line of thinking has to stop.
The developers have a chance to get some of our money, if they fail to provide what their customers want, it is their loss, not ours. This way of thinking that developers have all the power and we are at their mercy is absolutely wrong.
What are the chances of, if this somehow against all odds beats sales expectations, Capcom then sending a solo release of DMC2 out to die on the switch Eshop lol.
Them selling just the first game is garbage, but its nothing compared to the fact that this will be $20 or more. I would be surprised if it was the 7'ish its suppose to be.
Hold up your money for Darkstalkers.
No, hold up more money.
MORE money dammit!
Oh well, Darkstalkers is dead. If only you gave us more money.
its not a power house so no easy cheap porting, but turned out to be big enough that you can not just ignore it, so they are trying to maximize profit on expensive ports of older games.
worst case, a port flops, they just gonna pull the "nintendo audiences is not for us" and stop making more ports.
At this point this is insulting more than anything.
User Warned: “Lazy Dev” Rhetoric
Like I suspected. Capcom was just too lazy to port the other two games.
They barely talk about that game's results in general. They want to move completely to AAA dev and their AA stuff has no space in such a small company trying to put out so many big games.
Capcom makes my brain hurt so bad that I need a doctor. Doesn't help that I can't even comprehend how this hostage tactic they keep going for is supposed to be efficient.
Why wouldn't they put DMC3. Its a much better starting point. And is way closer to what the franchise has become now.
Does Capcom actually believe that DMC1 is more popular among the current gaming audience , because the original sold more and it received better critical reception ?

Between this and the overpriced Resident Evil titles releasing next week; I'm convinced Capcom hates the Switch as a platform.
They are simply seeimg how far they can get away with, either so they can keep making ports as cheap as they can or find an excuse to stop supporting the switch. Capcom themselves said how they want to focus conpletely on big AAA games despite being smaller then Namco and square enix and the switch's very existence throws a wench into that plan
At some point you have to start thinking if there is background stuff going on (deals, bad blood, etc).
Tho, to be fair, I think we all got chummy on capcom cause of MH on 3DS, but Capcom overall track with Nintendo is not exactly the BFF many people think. Gamecube had the Capcom 5, Wii was just some ports here and there, and overall Switch support is a retry of that.

Seems like it
They're sending DMC1 out to do the job that Street Fighter II failed to get done at launch
And we're the type of dopes that will fuck around and buy it.
I mean, brand new Monster Hunter and Ace Attorney games are already great enough for most people to consider their support good. Also launched a new RE game in the platform, had a decent port for the latest Street Fighter, a new Lost Planet spin-off, some new niche IPs for Japan. Can't be compared to their Switch support that is pretty bad.
Not me. DMC on Switch isn't worth it if they're gonna piecemeal it like this. I like DMC1 but it's not the game fans are craving to play.
DMC1 sells 5 million copies for $30
Capcom: Hmm time for the next test. DMC2 for $40!
DMC2 sells 2 million for $40
Capcom: Looks like interest is waning for Capcom games on Switch, cancel everything.
Cmon thats not true at all.
3DS got
SSFIV
Brand new RE
MH
Ghost Trick
Ace Attorney
The Switch has received the worst support from Capcom.
This makes sense. I suppose if they are fully focused only on AAA , there isn't much room for Switch outside of the occasional titles like Megaman 11.

Ghost Trick is DS. But to go further they also put out two Monster Hunter spin offs.
Capcom needs to fuck off. It's impressive how hard they're trying to sabotage their Switch support.
The reality is, if there's a market, people will buy. If there is not, they won't. Capcom has people to do market research and they should use them. They don't need to take baby steps on PS2 games. If they're going to do this piecemeal and give everyone a worse deal for it, we're likely not going to see how well DMC could perform at its best.
They probably do. The Switch runs counter to Capcom's plans to focus on big AAA games for consoles.
