Capcom to focus on making Switch games, including Ace Attorney

IMG_5480.JPG

Within the last week, Bandai Namco and Square Enix have both come forward to pledge that they will certainly be publishing more Nintendo Switch games, as they find the console a runaway success. Today, Capcom joins in on claim. During an interview with Jiji, a Japanese magazine, the Capcom COO claimed that there are multiple titles in the pipeline for the Switch, one of note being a new Ace Attorney title. This was the only series the COO mentioned specifically, (sorry Monster Hunter fans) but the majority of these teased games will reportedly be released in Japan by April of next year.

Yeah, it is just more PR bs. If they were serious about making games for it they would have jumped in and made some serious announcements months ago.

Can't blame them anyway, most third party companies are burned already from the bad sales their expensive titles had on the wii/wiiu/3ds. Feels like they have completely gave up on nintendo devices.
Yeah, months ago, before knowing if the Switch is a success, and after the Wii U, they sure were gonna do that...

I can imagine their plans:

- Street Fighter 2 The New Challengers Alpha Tournament Championship Turbo Edition: Zero
- Megaman 1
- Megaman 2
- Megaman 3
- Megaman 4
- Megaman 5
- Megaman 6
- Megaman Battle Network
-NO MEGAMAN ZERO NOR X AS THOSE ARE WAY TOO FANCY-
- Ace Attourney

And Thats it.

I am fan of those games except Ace Attourney but I dont want that. AAA games are a must! Those can wait!

agreed it does look bulky but its exactly what nintendo have copied off, difference is bet this has higher resolution, is able to push to tv over network


Honestsly who cares who copies who
And people need to learn that even if smart phones and tablets are very powerful the best games are still emus i doudt a mobile company actually going to put effort into making a full fledged game on phones or tabs

Sure I like them too.
But paying them since the Wii days is a bit ridiculous in my opinion.
How many times do you have to buy the same games just to have it on a different console?

And that was sarcarsm too.
I forgot to add /s

RE: Revaluations 1 & 2 with the DLC in one collection would be nice. The online in 2 is insanely addicting.

Great news, hopefully that means original titles though I would love to play REmake on the go.
chances of that are slim, with it originally being a nintendo exclusive and support when it came to the "hd remake", nintendo was ignored.

but, lets say if it does get ported its going to be another OLD game ported over.

why cant the switch get more support of todays games at the same price as the other versions, or cheaper having it being a dumbed down version and features removed.

but yea, if it got ported (with RE0 included) i probably would buy it, i have it on the cube, ps3, xbx 360, ps4 and plan to get it on xbx1x if it has a 4k update.

I figured that probably had less to do with Nintendo as a whole and more to do with how badly the Wii U was doing. Pure speculation but the Wii U might've also not been able to run the game at a solid resolution/frame rate thus Capcom decided to skip Nintendo.

I am in agreement with you but honestly I would play the hell out of REmake on Switch.

Yeah, almost all native phone games are just MTX garbo. Emulators only on my phone, 3DS and Switch for modern gaming.

ill believe it when i see it crapcom. No monster hunter worlds on switch and no monster hunter xx english ver. Your talk is cheap. and square well i dont think they will be making and main stream games on it. the producer of mana remake said the reason it was not on switch is because the switch was not out yet when the game was in development. Child, Please. lol lame ass excuse as ever. All these companies talk is cheap. when they make AAA switch exclusives then ill be impressed. Other then that they are all talk and no show.... notice how they dont even try untill they think its popular? maybe putting your games on it from the start would have made it more popular. ever think of that square and crapcom?

it works both ways, the system failed because nintendo simply released a slightly beefed up ps3, devs have been there done that and pushed the hardware as much as they could.

devs did the same back then, tested the waters by porting "old" games, sales were poor so they focused support to the new hardware.

we can see the same happening again, devs are porting its old titles over, i honestly cant see sales being different especially when its more expensive, inferior and has content missing.

give it a year and i honestly see the switch third party support being dropped and mainly littered with cheap 3DS app type games.... even more when sony/MS releases their next gen systems.

the only good thing the switch had going for it really was copying off the morphus x300, being able to play on the go, but it doesnt impress when its expensive and lacking.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

its not really about copying as such, but everyone inc nintendo are like we are so innovative.

this concept is just another gimmick to mask the fact its a dead cheap console, when you compare its hardware to the last gen consoles (PS4/XBX1) if it didnt copy the morphus x300 then people would class it as another wii u.

we also need to count the fact that nintendo needed find a way to ensure higher sales...... this idea combining both home console and portable markets in to one surely will make sales sound better.

and again nintendo fuck up when they compare switch sales with just wii u, they never combined wii u & 3ds sales then compare.

Pretty good news, Switch smashed it out of the park in Japan.

No one likes it when people speak out of their ass:
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20...etter_uk_debut_than_marvel_vs_capcom_infinite

The market is their, unlike the wii u.
Just in case you think this is cherry-picked here are a few other outlets:

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2017/07/...mes-in-wake-of-ultra-street-fighter-2-success

if it didnt copy the morphus x300 then people would class it as another wii u.

Can you even prove that claim? I could just as easily say they copied ninty.

Why would they do that? That's not even apples to apples, just because Switch is a hybrid doesn't mean you compare it with the combined sales of a home console and a portable. Can you prove that the Switch's market is the 3DS and Wii U's combined?

This is fantastic news of course.

I bought the Switch literally just for Monster Hunter. But, was greatly dissappointed when Capcom decided to be cryptic with the release of the game to the West. I did import the Jp version, but it's not as satisfying while trying to decipher talismans, armours, and various weapon needs. Anyway, I look forward to finally getting a proper MH game on the Switch. But, the game I really truly want to see by Capcom on the Switch is, E.X. Troopers. It was/is awesome on the 3DS, and it would be glorious on the Switch.

http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2017/11/13/...new-ace-attorney-for-switch-plus-compilations

According to Kotaku, Capcom plans on releasing a brand new Ace Attorney game (featuring Phoenix Wright as the protagonist once again) as well as two compilations.
These compilations will be for games 1 through 3 (similar to Ace Attorney Trilogy) as well as games 4 through 6.
The new game will release late next year. Very exciting! :D
