Capcom Not Bringing Resident Evil To Nintendo Switch

I am a fan of RE games and have played everyone and I would buy this game on the switch. I do own a PS4 but I am tired of spec gamers trying to force the market based on specs that most people don't use. Nintendo markets to the majority of gamers and third party developers want to not use them because they are not using over priced top of the line specs. I will by ever good game for the switch in support of third party developers and Nintendo because I feel Nintendo is trying to reach all types of gamers.

I'm an adult, I preordered the Switch and don't really care that this is not coming out for the Switch. I have an Xbone and a PS4 and do not plan on getting this game anyways. It just doesn't feel like a Resident Evil game. This reminds me more of Texas Chainsaw Massacre the game.

No plans to bring to the Switch. A phrase that Switch owners should start getting used to.

@7tizz: Nintendo consoles have had more M-rated games than people think. Gamecube had exclusives on Resident Evil remastered, 0 and (for awhile) RE4 and Killer 7. Wii had exclusives on No More Heroes and Madworld. Wii U had Bayonetta 2. I think the idea that it's a kiddie console has more to do with the sort of gamer that buys Nintendo products than with the games that (don't) come to Nintendo systems. I mean the wii had Manhunt freaking 2!

Don't worry, Resident Evil 4 will surely release on Switch

Unfortunately this'll be the trend for yet another Nintendo generation. I love Nintendo and always have, but they can't rely on their laurels regarding new IP''s and all of their software in general.

Nintendo has basically branded itself as a kids console, and their reluctance to make a hardware powerhouse could be the end of Nintendo hardware going forward.

The world of gamers will divide Zelda, Mario, Metroid, smash, Splatoon, xenoblade and DK fans from battlefield, titanfall, dragon age, mass effect, star wars, need for speed, tomb raider, deus ex, hitman, rainbow six, far cry, assassins creed, watch dogs, the division, for honor, metal gear, tekken, call of duty, overwatch, resident evil, dishonored, mortal kombat, injustice, gta, read dead and others fans. Which team of fans you think is the hugest? the more news come about switch the more I think it can be the last nintendo's console. Unless thirdies buy the idea to develop for switch using their tecnologies like joy cons and others few thinks. But I wouldn't wait for this.

Capcom will eventually reconsider when the Switch starts outselling PS4 and X1 by a 10:1 margin

Hey, at least it isn't like Ubisoft bringing ZombiU to the system.

Bring Resident Evil 2 HD remastered and possibly a few other RE games to Switch, that's good enough for me : )

The reality is this game was in development long before any Switch dev kit was available. Plus, you have to factor in porting the game to a new console and optimizing it takes time. Basically, Capcom would only be able to release it on Switch long after it was released on the other platforms. Who knows, maybe the Switch will get a great remake or tweaked RE that is designed to take advantage of the portable features.

Of course, predictable!

Nintendo is not in the "horror/survival" market whatsoever and it's the graphics/scenery that is meant to make the new RE a masterpiece.

Having to downsample the thing too much would ruin it quite a bit!

Besides, who would buy a Nintendo console hoping for these kind of games!

Even the N64 had a hard time with Resident Evils... xD

Who cares ?!?!?! Who needs Resident Evil with games like 1-2-Switch ?????

It's rather unfortunate but Nintendo Switch fans will have to get used to news such as this.

The Wii-U jr. is dead on arrival. A Zelda game and a Street Fighter 2 game that was ripped from Xbox Live for the 360. Well worth $300 *Sarcasm*

Well duh. It wouldn't be able to run on that toaster.

Forget about current gen AAA games on Switch.

Unless it is something with heavily stylized looks with cheap shaders + conservative approach towards AI and physics, it won't run on Switch. But then again, that probably wouldn't be an AAA-budget game.

Understandable. But it's still kinda sad that resident evil games don't really release on Nintendo systems anymore. The resident evil remake back on the GameCube took that game to another level. It's still my favourite resident evil game. Other than that I think the last resi game I played on a Nintendo was resident evil on the 3DS. Was epic playing that on a handheld

The only company who is sad, surely isn't Nintendo but capcom.

The architecture and getting their products on switch.

They love money.

LOL ?

I wonder why not...
