letter to the series quite underrated ❤
Trilogy collection would have been a big jumping on for many. 3 games for $30 like it was on PS4. Or $30 for 2 games if some prefer, lol. If they end up doing this one at a time, I don't see many buying DMC2 standalone. Which makes me question if they'd simply just stop and never release DMC3 for DMC2's poor sales.
Capcom is banking on high end games. They don't care about lower end stuff. With the switch doing so well, they just gotta support it, but are only doing the bare minimum. Maybe even less than that because they couldn't even bother to start with the most popular of the PS2 games
If Capcom was doing this to "gauge interest" since it's never been on a Nintendo platform before, there's no reason they couldn't port the same trilogy that PS4/XB1 got. Hell, even go ahead and charge and extra $10 for it, citing "game cart costs" even though it's download only. Whatever. Nintendo fans expect no better from Capcom.
This is pure trolly bullshit that seems manufactured to fail.

Enough with the port begging test trash.
If these companies want people's hard earned money then they gotta offer something people want.
Businesses' work is supposed to be convincing you to give them your money, not the other way around.
Welp, yeah this is shitty and they should've brought the whole thing for $40. It'd definitely sell imo, instead this must be hey another Switch interest test like plenty of publishers have attempted before.
We canceling future hypothetical portbegs now? Damn! You guys keep outdoing yourselves!
im not saying 3DS support was bad, on contrary, im saying that cause it was soo great, people co-relate it nintendo and Capcom having had an always great relationship. which is not exactly right, specially if you look into the console scene.
Capcom supported 3DS heavily (my views) not cause they were chummy but cause it was their best bet at hte moment, 3DS was popular as hell, it was the get to go device in Japan. Capcom previous attempts for non handhelds MH crashed. etc etc etc.
Jump forwards to 1-2 years ago, now that capcom got back their mojo, streamlined their dev for AAA and manage to get great results in Consoles and PC, they no longer have any need to stick with Nintendo.
and hey, as a company they are on their whole right to chose the most profitable path. but at least have the decency, as many other have done before (even before Switch), that if you dont want to support a platform, just dont do it, better that than this whole throwing scraps
Yeah, I'm not buying it. I prefer DMC and DMC4: SE over the original trilogy, and they are not going to get my dollar over this half-hearted attempt.
But they aren't even posting their old releases in a way that makes much sense.
Like wtf is this DMC debacle? You're gonna sell me DMC1, without the other two games in the pipeline, and you confirm that it is literally ripped from the collection, not some new remaster to justify this deal even a little bit.
Well it better be no more expensive than ten dollars, because a whole collection costs 30.
This is really quite disappointing and foolish because I would have happily bought DMC1-3 on day 1. With overpriced and fragmented releases (DMC2 and DMC3 will come eventually) I'll probably buy none of them.
Capcom is trying to find an excuse to pull of their Switch support, this would be a great one to justify it (in DMC's case).
But.....but....why? I could definitely do without 2 but at least put 3 in there. I think they're going to feel out how 1 is received on switch and then release 3 and say 2 is released under their breath or something. I guess the issue is possibly space related i guess? Such a weird decision though.
I still need to pick it up personally, but I'm glad to hear you liked it!
But why Capcom? Why? Porting just the first one will definitely make that port price more expensive than the whole collection, which of course will definitely affect sells.
It's just easier to not make anything for it and when investors ask why, they can just say "our money makers can't run on it"
investors are dumb, generally, but that same dumb will led to "but many of other companies have manage to put their games on switch too". so Capcom is possible looking for a hard way out
"we want to support, but as shown by the failure sales of DMC 1 Port, we just dont believe they are worthy the resources"
This is good or notable softare support to you? Interesting to say the least.
It will definitely be $20 or $30. Not more than $30, not less than $19.99.
Some of their Japan only games looked fun and they never localized them. I still wanna play EX Troopers.
Fuck Capcom's support on the Switch, I hate it so much. Even after their stupid tests have been done and succeeded, we haven't gotten any better support. Just more overpriced old ports. Even RE4 is being charged $10 more then it was on other platforms, and they can't even use the cart cost excuse because they made it digital only.
So if they're porting just DMC1 for $30 despite the HD trilogy having already been released on PS3/360/XB1/PS4/PC and currently selling for $20 not on sale, to deliberately sabotage sales on Switch to shut up shareholders who keep screaming 'get your stuff on Switch'...
Won't the shareholders just see through that?

They seem a bit more preoccupied with the fact Capcom is telling them they're gonna make so much money with just one major release.
Even if it sells they will release 2, no one will buy it, and determine there isn't interest for 3, 4 or DMC.
As a Switch game collector, they might have gotten a sale from me even if it was a shitty overpriced release. Since it's digital only though, they pretty much guarantee that I have zero interest in purchasing it.
These kind of decisions really do baffle me. It's like they purposely want to fuck themselves over.

Cant cancel something that doesn't and will never exist in the first place
That was a toxic culture from Wii era. Put all the blame on the customer, not on the developer that can't read the market
To be fair, the two light gun games were good and original. That and it was understandable why RE5 didn't come to the Wii since there was a massive power gap between the Wii and the 360/PS3.
This, however, is just an insult and it's something EA would pull. Like, not even give us the collection. Sheesh...

Nah I can blame the developer for still not getting it since the Wii era, evidently.
Sad thing, it's a lose-lose for Switch owner.
Don't buy, Capcom used this as a bullet point to the old 'Nintendo fans don't buy third-party'.
Buy, continue to get half-ass ports for a non-discount price.
Which choice do you like least.
sales data is out there, people are buying 3rd party games, just not capcom's half assed overpriced efforts.
Funnily enough, Switch owners actually buy their ports. I mean, they have a Street Fighter 2 game with 500K+ sales on this system. lol
Never stopped this line before. Third-Parties were selling on the Wii too, yet people still say that the Wii audience didn't support third-parties. According to the myth, everyone just bought Wii Sports and some hardcore Nintendo games.
It isn't bizarre at all.
Switch owners continue to buy their half-ass effects and they get max profiles.
Switch owners don't buy, they can used that as an excuse not to bother to port anything since 'Nintendo fans don't buy third-party'.
