E3 2018 is fast approaching, and with Switch performing so well, we're expecting plenty of big news when it comes to the world of handheld gaming. One rumour suggests we'll be getting one of those megaton announcements from Capcom, which has purportedly listed an untitled game it plans to unveil at the big show in June.
According to the post, the game is listed as an 'Action/Adventure' title, one that will supposedly be coming to PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. And, interestingly, not for PS4. Of course, this could be an unfounded rumour, but if true it could mean Switch is getting a new piece of software that isn't Resident Evil or Street Fighter. With Monster Hunter World having already hit PC and Xbox One already, it also seems unlikely to be anything from the MH universe. E3 2018 runs from 12th June - 14th June 2018.
So what do you make of this new, freshly-rumoured title at E3 2018? What could Capcom be potentially planning for the expo in June? Share your thoughts below...

A new Strider game? 🤔
When Capcom talks people listen.....that's not always a good thing lol!
If this is true, I wonder what the financial logic is behind this decision. They’re leaving lots of money off the table by not bringing the game to PS4. It’ll be interesting to see which/what kind of game it is.
The Lost Planet Trilogy! Or a new Lost Planet game!
But where does the rumor come from? Is it a job listing, or something from the official E3/Capcom websites? Knowing that would go a long way toward determining its authenticity.
Regardless, the prospect of a third-party "action/adventure" game coming to Switch and all platforms other than PS4 is certainly an intriguing idea.
Bet it’s the devil may cry hd collection. Only came out on PS4 so here comes the rest
I was hoping for a resident evil 4 port.
monster hunter.
or dino crisis remake
Okami-Den HD or Dragon's Dogma
Why, all of a sudden, is NL constantly referring to the Switch as a handheld? It's a hybrid.
It's probably that the Switch game and the XB1/PC game are 2 different action/adventure games.
@Mr_Pepperami I second. DMC it is! (though we may be wrong)
A Ghosts N Goblins entry. I can only hope.
Gimme Okami 2 (that DS game doesn’t count).
This next month and half until E3 should prove to be a fun one in the gaming community and around these parts 😆
just give me SF IV and umvc3 capcom.
So what will the Sony journalist/fanboy apologists come out with if it is World? Let me guess You'll still insist it wasn't moneyhatted and shift the goalposts to "oh but they thought Switch would fail"
LMAO! Sony is turning into Microsoft this generation.
@Gorfvic20 yeah we might be wrong. Capcom would never not release something on the PS4 as it’s their cashcow so was trying to think of games that came out recently by capcom on the PS4 but nothing else. DMC it is. I’d almost put money on it
Other than being the same genre there's nothing to suggest the Switch game is the same as the Xbox One / PC one. As someone pointed out in the forum ,the Switch game could just be Okami HD and it's likely the One/PC game is Dead Rising 5 which would explain why it's not coming to PS4.
@shadow-wolf My first (and only) thought about why PS4 would be excluded is that it's an online game featuring cross-platform play. Until Sony changes its ridiculous position I'd exclude them too.
@Lizuka I’d be all over that. Loved the SNES one
It's going to be something stupid, I just know it.
Or a troll move, a new Monster Hunter spin off that no one will like. lol
I wanna know what this wrestling game is coming to PS4 and PC
Or it could mean PS4 already has it.
Labelling the Switch as a handheld does my head in.
Translation of that Monster Hunter game that's out in Japan. Not technically on any other format.
@Sentinator
What? How would MH World coming to Switch mean it was bought by Sony? That's just....strange.
@GrailUK Yep,I'm with you on that. Glad someone brought that up.
@Mr_Pepperami The Devil May Cry HD Collection was also released for the PC and XBOX One back then, not just the PS4. I got it on steam myself. So it has to be something else since it also listed those two platforms.
Mega Man Legends 3!! Or a collection of sorts.
@Magrane or a sequel the Gargoyle's Quest/Demon's Crest. I'd even settle for a cleaned up port of Ultimate G 'n G for the Switch.
I know is a dream, but, I'd love to see Captain Commando back.
A new game in the same (fighting) style as Batman Arkham series with a coop mode.
Coming from Capcom these days, however, I don't expect much.
Dino Crisis IV confirmed?
Hold up. In Mega Man X Legacy collection there a brand new track...
Oh boy of this is Mega Man X9...
Okami HD on Switch, Dead Rising 5 on XB1/PC. Book it.
Captain Commando?
@electrolite77 You know what I'm talking about. That exclusivity deal Sony made with Capcom to drop Monster Hunter from Nintendo. You know the deal that people claim doesn't exist even though World was pretty much marketed as a PS4 exclusive, had a PS4 exclusive bundle and branded with one of Sony's games for exclusive content but money didn't change hands they say.
@shadow-wolf AWWEE BOO HOO "they're leaving money on the table for PS4" Everyone said the same about MH not being on switch seeing how MH is a portable experience but hey now the sony fanboys are hurting lol
@Mr_Pepperami fairly sure I own that on the Xbox one....
@GrailUK yep... like me labelling PS4 as A fifa and COD machine just because that’s all 90% of PS4 owners play on it...
@Mr_Pepperami Dead Rising 5 on Xbox and PC.
Okami HD on Switch.
we had a strider remake on ps4 and it was really good. I love a ghouls n ghosts new game if done well in 2d or 3d!.
@MajorTom really?? Well thank god I didn’t put money on it then😂
It's almost certainly just Okami HD...
@Octane forgot about okami as it had already been announced. Was trying to think of unannounced stuff but you’re right......☹️
@Mr_Pepperami Yep, here is the steam page for that matter. https://store.steampowered.com/app/631510/Devil_May_Cry_HD_Collection/
@Mr_Pepperami DMC is possible, just less likely with Okami HD confirmed for this year.
Resident Evil 5-7 triolgy for Switch please!
@Sentinator
The one that was on Xbox? The one that was in development before Switch was even a thing and never had a realistic chance of a simultaneous release? That one?
Edit : I forgot, the one that doesn't run particularly well on more powerful systems anyway?
Ace Attorney survival horror game confirmed
Has PS4 had any timed exclusive Capcom content in the last 1 or 2 years?
@Mr_Pepperami Um, no? It came out on PC, PS4 and Xbox all on the same day
Bet you the physical version is just a download code for the game and a proper print of their boxart.
I’ll be surprised if it’s a AAA mature title. If it’s a small scale, colorful, side-scroller, it’ll met my expectations.
I'm thinking it is a Mega man Legends Remake.
@Menchi187 yeah. Someone already told me and I said I wrong. ☹️
Localized Monster Hubter to Switch is what I want and will be waiting for. One day soon I hope.
@GrailUK Okami HD for Switch and Dead Rising 5 for Xbox/PC.
@IceClimbers They already announced the Okami thing, but I'm wondering if this is Disney Afternoon or Devil May Cry Collection.
@Octane Noooo! Shhhh. It's an unannounced title for E3. Don't ruin it
Dino Crisis! 😀
Monster Hunter - Nintendo Labo Edition
If this is true and Sony is the only one not getting this, then maybe cross play is a big focus of this game which means this game may be an MMO. Maybe it is Monster Hunter World and, if so, then maybe Sony was left out of this simply because they don't support cross play.
How about Monster Hunter XX?
Except they better not pull a Sqaure Enix and localize only the Switch version...
@Koudai1979 Again, Okami HD for Switch and Dead Rising 5 for Xbox/PC
I hope it's one of these:
Devil May Cry HD Collection
Onimusha HD
Strider HD
Mega Man X9
Mega Man Legends 3
@azelf Oh yes, they MUST do a new Dino Crisis.
My money is on port.
Zack and Wiki 2?
new ace attorney mmo?????????
I'm guessing a cancellation after E3 is over...
@Fearful-Octopus yeah but switch only exclusive!!!.... Same as all I want is P.N.04
I'm thinking Monster Hunter XX with quick ports to XB1 and PC. No PS4 version due to Sony not allowing Cross play.
@Ooyah THANK YOU!! I thought it was just me who keeps harping on about NLs obsession that this console is just a handheld. It’s not
@NintyNate It could be multiplatform for all i care, i just want a Dino Crisis 1&2 hd remake. Or a brand new dino crisis game! Why would you want just a switch exclusive?
@electrolite77 If a system doesn't pose a direct threat to your business you don't need to pay to lock it away. How many people own XBox in Japan? This wasn't a Switch scepticism thing because otherwise they would have at least localised it for 3DS.
You seem to be thinking the exact same thing as me (that this is MH related) and if Sony hadn't have paid anything it would have at least come to 3DS last year.
The World being on XBox thing has been the most frequent example but Microsoft paid to delay PS3 releases and not PC releases last time. They pay to threaten their biggest competitor when they deem something irrelevant.
@Octane "Disney Afternoon Collection finally for Switch..."
@Dom Do you have to refer to the Switch as a handheld in all your articles?
Monster Hunter 5 on Switch please.
MH World was disappointing and it would be nice to get the next true game in the series back on the format it belongs on.
@GrailUK I do, yeah.
@Mr_Pepperami my thought as well. As soon as I read article my first thought was what does ps4 have that the other doesn’t? DMC is my guess as well.
@Sentinator
Both have paid for exclusives, Nintendo sometimes fund third-party exclusives that otherwise wouldn't get made. However it still stands that the most obvious reason for MH World not being on Switch is that it was developed for more powerful hardware and that development started well before it could have done for Switch. Unless the developers were paid to lie about it. It makes way more sense than the conspiracy theory version.
There is no way that unannounced game isn't coming to PS4.
Onimusha collection please capcom.
@GrailUK That's not really an ''action/adventure game'', is it? More like a... collection? Platformer? I don't know!
@westman98 That's why it doesn't have to be an unannounced game. It could be a port for Switch (Okami HD anyone?), and Dead Rising 5 for Xbox and PC, assuming they got the same one-year exclusivity deal like they had with Dead Rising 4.
@bones Wasn't that Strider remake on the PS3 as well?
@SpeedRunRocks Man, out of all the series out there that could benefit from an HD remake, Megaman Legends is pretty high up on the list.
Let CyberConnect 2 (Naruto Ninja Storm and Asura's Wrath) develop it, and it's all but guaranteed to at least look amazing!
@Dom - wait then......do you know something we don't......by referring to it as a handheld........GAMECUBE 2 CONFIRMED FOR E3!
@Ooyah
Only Mr. Dom does it all the time. AND HE JUST WON'T STOP!😤
But I think it's just a hipster thing. You know, making him feel cool or something.🙄
@Dom
Can't you instead explain why you insist on apparently limiting it as a handheld, when it is, actually, a hybrid? For many people, the hybrid nature of the Switch is its USP.
I'm hoping for a new Okami. The Switch would be a perfect home to see this series return upon.
It's a Megaman game. What are Nintendo's big games for this year besides the Smash Bros rehash? Think their well has run dry
@Magrane YES IT WAS!
@AG_Awesome I would love to see that happen and since SNK arcade games are already on the Eshop why not having Capcom arcade games from the 1980's & 1990's show up there too.
@azelf I'd love a Dino Crisis remake!
I'm hoping it's a collection of arcade classics...but I fear @Octane is correct.
I would like to see if Capcom will bring all of it's old arcade games to the eshop finally.
@electrolite77 I so hope you are right.
@retro_player_22: Couldn't it be all of these? The list is of Product Categories, not Products, per se. I was thinking it was Mega Man Legacy but could be multiple Action/Adventure games
@Gerbwmu
No, he just thinks he's hip and cool. He is showing the Big N, that the Switch is definitely a handheld and never a console, because it is so weak and everything! Dom is fighting for that!👊💪✊
@subpopz
I absolutely agree. It could come later if Capcom had the will. If it doesn't though, I don't think it's because of Sony bribery, I just don't think Capcom think it's worth it (and let's face it, odd business decisions are a special move of theirs).
I'm going to guess it's something new, don't think remasters/re-releases would warrant an E3 reveal.
I have a feeling it's gonna be Okami.
Action/Adventures = Gameplay will have storyline.
But i don't even care what games will be.
I bet it will be rated M games.
Is Street Fighter 5 going Multi-Platform?
Could this be DMC 5?
@Fearful-Octopus that be cool! The 3rd wasn't great though :/... Coz Switch needs more exclusives and all
@Anti-Matter you must care if you’ve read the article and shared your comment
@Ooyah maybe it's a Freudian slip. They think of Switch as the 3DS' replacement and rarely want to openly acknowledge that. Or it's just that the Switch is a handheld and a console, so calling it either one of those is still accurate.
@Ooyah @MrBlacky why do you care so much when people call switch a handheld. I amazed people get so worked up this.
I am talking about both sides but the way. If people wanna call switch s handheld it's fine. If people went to call it a hybrid it's fine. Just chill and enjoy playing switch however you want people!
I know it won’t be ‘this’ title, but I reckon Disney Afternoon Collection will finally come over. I imagine the reason it hasn’t already is because Sony has paid Capcom exclusivity rights for a release on all but Switch. As it’s now been a year since the game was released, the timing is perfect for E3.
@kobashi100 naw its clearly a home console with some handheld features.
@Angelic_Lapras_King This is what I was thinking too! I hope this is it !!
@NintyNate Yeah i agree 3 was bad, i like DC1 the most. DC2 was fun, but it kinda lost the survival horror aspect.
If true, "not coming to PS4" for Capcom is like saying "we have niche game that we're testing on other systems and if it does on those systems we'll re-release it on PS4 with more content, half the price, and all future entries will be exclusive to Sony"
Devil May Cry 5? Dante's been showing up in MHW, MVCI, the late Puzzle Fighter mobile and the PS2 trilogy was rereleased on current gen a few weeks ago, that's a great deal of exposure for a dormant franchise.
@edgedino thats your definition. That doesn't mean it's right.
Like I said before. Why worry what other people call it. It's not a big deal
@Yasume I’d buy that!
Power Stone?
@kobashi100
You have friends, who come over to your house? Try playing Mario Kart with them on your TV with a handheld. Not working? Too bad!😔
Have some fun in Mario Tennis Aces with some casual motion control gameplay after a stressful day at work. Handheld again? Oh noooo!😩
people are expecting way too much..it'll probably just be a port...
@kobashi100 you have won the award for worst sarcasm detector.
Flip a coin, Resident Evil or Devil May Cry, either one I will still be disappointed...#BringBackDarkstalkers
@Magrane Given how so many people are obsessing over super-difficult games these days, I could actually see that happening. That or Maximo since that was the spiritual successor. I'd gladly shell out for a collection or perhaps a remaster of Ghosts To Glory/Army of Zin.
@NewAdvent @NewAdvent
A home console, you connect to your TV with a separate control unit to play games. To play with more people, you can connect more of these units to a console.
A handheld is a console which has usually a non-removable control unit no options for connecting an additionally contoller.
Switch does both without disadvantages, so it shouldbe called just a console, hybrid or plain and simple Switch.
@Octane I'm not against that either. I haven't played any Capcom games since RE4 on GCN.
Action adventure wishlist for switch - Megaman Battle Network 3d, Megman classic/x/ or legends 3d, Original resident evil game, Mercenaries, Outbreak TPS, or ports/collection of 5 6 & 7 , Breath of Fire 3d, lost planet 2 port, Devil May Cry Hd/andor DMC 5, Dragon's Dogma port/2
@Fearful-Octopus yeah same for it... I would like the old horror ps games... Parasite Eve, clock tower, haunting ground
Breath... of... FIRE!
...for iOS
Where does it say this is "an e3 reveal"?
How do we know this isn't just games they'll show on the display floor? Okami HD for Switch and Dead Rising 5 for X1/PC. There's your action/Adventure for all 3 platforms.
I’m not that fusssed about new as some of theirr ports would be great, res evil 4 and 7, mhfu , mh stories, and all the 3ds. Monster hunters, also Phoenix Wright games please.
Ooh. A brand new game from Capcom? Yes please.
@Ooyah I think this writer always refers to it as a handheld. That’s pretty bad for a Nintendo fan website and makes the guy sound stupid.
I think it’s Luigi’s Mansion.
Had hoped for REmake 2. My only guess now is some smaller game nobody will really care about but I want to be wrong. Resident Evil 2 on N64 was the first game in the series I owned and played to completion. One of my top 15 favorite games of all-time, would love to see it return to Nintendo platforms.
I wonder what the fighting/wresting game is
@Arn-Hahhhad oh BOY if this is Megaman X9
Many are making a false assumption that this isn't for PS4 simply because it isn't listed, when its entirely possible in that its also for PS4 but is simply not listed yet.
Looking through all potential comments, there really isn't any game that fits a mold of all the other consoles besides PS4 that is an action adventure title unless there is some deal being made that prevents a PS4 version. Which as far as I am aware, would be a first.
Mega Man X9 from Inti Creates.
@Warruz unless its already on PS4 (Devils May Cry HD)
@ValhallaOutcast That doesn't fit either, as it's on PC already.
It is a typeo. There is no way Capcom, a company that needs a welfare check from a console maker in order to make original games, is going to support the Switch. So, I wouldn't expect a thing from Capcom.
It's an annual series, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if it were Monster Hunter for a 2019 release.
@Equinox u just made my day hahaha
Isn't it most likely to be a current PS4 game which is now being ported to other platforms?
@idrawrobots Dragon's Dogma 😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😨😨😨😨😨😨😨 YES
i want new exlusive game not old game port or multiplatform.Exlusive game just only make Switch.Game which exploit Nintendo Switch quality.
Despite the hate everyone piles on capcom these days, i still find this incredibly exciting.
Does anybody remember a teaser pic that was released.... god, ages ago of a Dino foot. That was all it was, was that Capcom?
As far as I can remember there was no follow up to that.
Please God, no more Resident Evil or Street Fighter. Please!!!
Not on PS4? I'll believe it when I see it.
This has been in the ps4!
Betting it's Monster Hunter Stories from the 3DS.
They will announce Mega Man Legends 3 again, get the fans involved & then PULL THE PLUG AGAIN!
Why has Nintendo not offered to localise MHXX for the west as we dont have world and they no how sore we are about that!
I'd love if this would be the resident evil 2 Remake.
@antster1983 probably not. strider originated on playstation. surely they wouldnt leave ps4 out for a new entry
@YANDMAN cuz capcom is very capable of making cool games but they just put all their power into resident evil and street fighter
@Lizuka might be. its the only wrestling game from capcom I think
