Why is Resident Evil pivoting to Nintendo now?

>>725083910 (OP)
Because Nintendo is the only future of the console market.

>now

>>725083910 (OP)
Can guarantee the rampant promotion is just nintendo’s doing. Game was first revealed in an unrelated presentation (SGF I think) and nintendo only was able to show it off in the direct. Nintendo’s only shilling it hard because it’s one of the few current-day games that’s also coming to switch 2. So of course nintendo’s all giddy going
>”guys guys look, we have a current-day big-name series coming to switch 2! Our system isn’t week and now we can get all the big boy games playstation and xbox get!”
…meanwhile capcom’s probably rolling their eyes cause they did the bare minimum of porting their games to it (and you already know it’ll run worse than the other consoles)

>>725084719
Might be the opposite. Capcom keeps blaming the ps5 and its on sales and low engagment. They might see the switch 2 as thier big new system

>>725085497
But they didn’t make a ps5 exclusive though

>>725084353
Why was CV on Dreamcast

>>725083910 (OP)
I will play Requiem on Xbox but if they port RE4 remake i will quintuple dip

Where else are they going to put their games?
pc gaming is 99% poorfags on toasters pirating games and only 1% actually buying anything above $5 indies
xbox is dead
playstation is made for tranny movies

>>725084719
Capcom recently revealed even the fags that bought PS4 upgraded to NS2 instead of PS5

Resident Evil 4 was Gamecube exclusive for 9 months and Resident Evil REmake and Zero were Gamecube/Wii exclusive for over 10 years. It's not unheard of.

Capcom cares about their home market in Japan and Playstation is more or less a dying brand over there, after burning business bridges (such as shutting down Japan Studio or removing their asian localization branch) and making the console awfully expensive. But the situation is similar for every other Japanese third-party.

>>725084353
This pretty much. The only reason Nintendo stopped getting mainline RE games is because they kept releasing consoles that either couldn't run them or flipped too hard to be worth it.

>>725086195
>flipped
Flopped also

>>725085667
Capcom is a whore and used to offer console exclusive games but then if they sold well enough they'd port them. See RE4, Viewtiful Joe, ect

>>725083910 (OP)
Nintendo systems have the highest attach rate of any console and with the Switch 2 it is 2 to 1 (2 games for every 1 console sold). PS5 has 0.2 games sold for every 1 console and XSX is even worse. No brainer.

>>725085667
It's not because of some kind of exclusivity deal between Capcom and Sega, CV started out as a quick and dirty port of RE2. Then Capcom realized the Dreamcast was way more powerful than the last gen and thought RE2 would look and feel outdated, so they cancelled it. I mean they did make an RE2 port on Dreamcast, but that was later. Instead the developers they originally outsourced the port to were given the task of making a new RE game (Code Veronica) with full 3D environments and higher quality cinematics.
Funny how this is Capcom we're talking about, the same company that has spent the past decade shitting out a million quick and dirty ports whenever possible and gives no fucks about the quality of such.

>>725086075
>Resident Evil REmake and Zero were Gamecube/Wii exclusive for over 10 years

Why?

>>725086825
NTA but the PS2/PC already has access to OG RE1 and RE0 was always planned to be a Nintendo exclusive title, as the game originally started development on the N64.

>>725086825
Those 9 months when Snoys were trying to play it off like like they weren't starving for Resident Evil 4 were great.
>I-It's not even good they turned Resident Evil into a braindead shooter game lol Nintendo kiddies will be any trash can't handle real gaming...

>>725087056
Resident Evil Onemake is vastly different from the original. I don't know why they didn't port the original game as well. Probably just confusion. They released Resident Evil Deadly Silence on DS anyway.

>>725084110
Sit down, tendie, you haven't even surpassed the Xbox's install base yet.

>>725086719
Nice fancfiction, tendie.

>>725083910 (OP)
This title will sell like double the numbers of the previous entry just because it will release on the same day on Nintendo and will spiral into Capcom shifting their focus back to Nintendo again. It is just a winning formula.

>>725086075
There's also the Rail Shooters for the Wii, being the first time RE2 was revisitted with better graphics.

>>725090713
And then you woke up.

>>725090857
Anon, I know you dislike nintendo and you think I'm a shill but that's exactly what will happen, graphics matter only so much.

>Third-party games are doing well on the Switch 2, attracting new customers.
>According to Capcom, some PS4 users are upgrading to the Switch 2 instead of the PlayStation 5.

>>725091272
>Japan
Lmao, you're still 70 million units behind the PS5, tendie.

>>725091543
Clearly third-parties like Capcom have shown they couldn't care less how much hardware units the PS5 is selling if their games don't sell after all.

>>725083910 (OP)
Barrier Station 5.

>>725084110
>Because Nintendo is the only future of the console market.

Pretty much. We're seeing more and more 3rd parties focusing their advertising primarily on Nintendo.

>>725091272
>>725091894
Why doesn't Japan like PS5?

>>725091971
playstation moved to california to make cinematic woke garbage and waste 400 million dollars on concord
they also shut down japan studio. So far the only ps5 games that actually caters to japanese people is astro bot

>>725091971
PlayStation betrayed their own local market, their partners that made games for that local market and their own company culture. They might as well not be called a Japanese company anymore

>>725091776
Dream on, tendie, Capcom isn't going to ignore 80 million potential customers to satisfy your delusional fantasy.

>>725092921
That's why all their games will be multiplat with the Switch 2.

>>725091971
No one with half a brain likes PS5, hope that helps.

>>725083910 (OP)
"oh shit. we can let ai downscale and frame gen do the optimization for us. fuck it. put it on switch."

Pretty sure the only 3D Nintendo console without an active Resident Evil dev effort was the Wii U. Even for the Switch, they did all the humanly possible ports and Cloud Versions, they are now just porting all the Cloud Versions and the new games because the console can run them. Resident Evil and Nintendo have history, be it exclusive games or ports.

>>725091971
Because the PS5 has been very hard to get during its first two years, with foreigners heavily scalping the console due of the yen value (which is even lower now).
The console has also gotten more and more expensive over time too (PS Plus subscriptions too), now the base PS5 is sitting at 85k yen vs 36k yen for a Switch 1 or 50k for a Switch 2.
SIE has also removed Japan Studio out of spite against the Japanese, so Playstation has nothing of note as most third-parties are available on the Switch, a console that anybody can use as a home console and portable one.
