Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 77 Comments
This past weekend, we added some comments to the site about Capcom’s approach to Switch. The responses have now been official translated and posted on the company’s investor relations website. We have the full remarks rather than summaries.
First, when asked about Capcom’s stance regarding developing for Switch, the publisher said:
“It is excellent to have the market invigorated with new hardware launches. As a software publisher, we endeavor to develop games that offer enjoyment best suited to each piece of hardware’s features and target users. Following first party, in order to introduce our own content we are currently moving forward with internal planning and analysis as a partner company.”
Next, here’s what Capcom said about developing multiplatform titles on Switch:
“We are currently carrying out research with regards to multiplatform implementation of software for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on to the Nintendo Switch and thus are unable to comment at this moment. However, we do feel that there are differences in the desired direction and the play-style of the Nintendo Switch and those of the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. At Capcom, we determine which platform to release a title for after considering the features of both our software and the hardware in question, believing we must bring the enjoyment of our games to their maximum potential.”
