Capcom could bring more cloud-based games to Switch

Capcom brought Resident Evil 7 Cloud Version to Switch in Japan last month. Like the name implies, it operates entirely through the cloud. You connect online and data is transmitted while you play – almost nothing is downloaded to Switch directly aside from the main app.
In the future, Capcom could bring more cloud games to Switch. A spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal that it will decide whether to expand its offerings in that area after assessing the performance of Resident Evil 7 Cloud Version.

Speaking with the site, Kingsley said that “Switch is a really important format to us.” But since the system doesn’t have the same kind of power as competing consoles, Rebellion isn’t merely porting its games over and is instead thinking about “new and interesting ideas.”

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
More data is in from this month’s NPD report.
On the Switch hardware front, the Neon Switch was the month’s best-selling hardware SKU. That applies to both both unit and dollar sales.
That’s not the only good news for Nintendo. Switch software sales in May generated growth of 90% when compared to a year ago, which is the highest software revenues for any Nintendo platform in May since the Wii in May 2011. This is without digital sales since NPD does not track digital sales on Nintendo platforms.
