Capcom Not Bringing Resident Evil To Nintendo Switch

It's just as well, it's not like anyone is going to buy the inferior Switch port anyway. They would need to create an original exclusive RE game for Switch to get anyone interested.

I like how they tell us why they aren't.

Nintendo is probably charging them a stupendous amount of royalty fees to bring their games to the platform, either that or capcom is waiting to see if the Switch is gonna sell enough to consider the investment and they might change their mind later.

No one cares. Just bring the RE2 Remake as well as the RE1/ Zero and 4 HD remasters.

This isn't really newsworthy since most developers have no plans investing their money and development time on Nintendo systems anymore. If those announced 3rd party games don't end up selling well then they'll probably just bail out shortly and no longer publish more titles for it just like during the Wii and Wii U era.

Guys, Star Citizen isnt coming to consoles either. Were DOOMED!

Most likely wouldnt be able to run it, they have barely caught up to Kingdoms Of Amalur from 2012, graphically, with the new Zelda. Kingdoms OF Amalur really didn't get enough love, I enjoyed that game!!!

So switch is basically another wiiU.

Still waiting for the day when Nintendo makes only games and releases to everyone.

The Switch isn't powerful enough for the new Resident Evil. It would have to be graphically downgraded. Anyone thinking Nintendo finally has a power/graphics contender is lying to themselves. I'm not saying it can't be a really fun system. I'm definitely thinking about getting it, but it wouldn't be for the graphics.

This system has me worried. I'm gonna take a wait and see approach. They need strong 3rd party support if they want the Switch to be taken seriously. Instead of being known as the kiddie console.

Well in all honesty the article is misleading you're the ones that are making it look like it will never come to the Switch by saying Capcom Not Bringing Resident Evil to the Switch but it clearly says AT THE MOMENT which means there's a possibility they might

New RE7 ads are here!

Or as common sense tells me, Capcom simply doesnt have a Switch version ready before the damn console got launched?! Hmm..more clickbait news anyone?

...not that it could run it.

News like this seems eerily familiar. Is history repeating itself?

This was the console that was supposes to attract and bring 3rd party and yet again here we go again with this trend of not even considering the Switch or a Nintendo console for a key game. Is just the same old tale. Nintendo refuse to understand the importance of having something that is competitive and choose ignorance over what was needed to stay competitive and remain in the race and choose to create something that can't even match tech of 4 years ago. Now 3rd party has already started to response to Nintendo ignorance by choosing not to do a game for their console. I know that there is a lot people saying oh look how many 3rd party sign up to do games for the Switch but what they has fell to see is that the Wii U had a similar line up of 3rd party's and how many games did they do for the Wii U? the answer is almost nothing.

@wafflekings: sure..,if Rare was a thing still.

@wafflekings: If Sea of Thieves doesn't sell well they might be able to pick them back up? (minus the IPs)

I think we'll actually see a decent amount of 3rd party games on the Switch, for example NBA 2K18 is already announced, I'm guessing as long as the game isn't pushing the PS4 to it's limits, it won't be very hard to port games like racing, fighting, hell even open world games like GTA V would work on the Switch, when you take everything in to consideration, the Switch is really just slightly less powerful than an X1 while docked., and since it uses cartridges it can actually operate fine with less RAM, not only that, a cartridge can include hardware, the SNES had some games with the SuperFX chip such as Star Fox.

So think of it this way, a lot of data you'd normally have to install, or stream from a disc slowly will instead be almost instantly pulled from the cartridge, if a dev wants to add a little extra power to a game, they can work with Nintendo to add on to the cartridge, I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't mind having what amounts to a new SuperFX chip that allows things like physics to be called from the cartridge instead of wasting console resources.

Point is, we won't fully know what the Switch is capable of at first, because we haven't had a true cartridge based console in a very long time, minus handhelds which are a different beast.

I love these ''Nintendo not getting X game'' articles. Every single time Nintendo releases a ''console'', it's the same thing. Capcom has just started the train. I used to be pissed because I actually HAD faith in their ''consoles''. Not anymore. Take that you bloody bastard!!!(Nintendo)

"This is SO shocking!" ...said absolutely nobody.

What a shock there are now more games that are confirmed not to be coming to the switch than actual launch games haha.... sad

Yah dont say

They could probably port it but it would need seriously scaled back which no one would want so it's a bit pointless really

Welp thank god ps4 was created.
