Watch it still be £30 like the RE games.

Out of Every game that THQ Nordic owns. i hope they bring a TimeSplitters Collection to Switch with Online Support and Mapmaker sharing (since the Gamecube versions of TimeSplitters 2 and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect lacked those features.)

Well yeah, it's likely but still important to take caution. Remember how everyone was like Persona 5 is definitely coming to Switch with lots of retailer listings and rumours spawning just from the announcement of Joker in Smash. Yet here we are with just a Warriors spinoff.

Why not? Capcom Beat'em Up Bundle, Onimusha remaster, Okami HD, The Phoenix Wright trilogy, all got released physically. So it's odd that DMC is being skipped.

@Grumblevolcano Yeah, but it's a Persona 5 Warriors spinoff! ;p

I really didn't know what to expect for DMC being released as eshop only or physically. I guess you just never know with capcom. Dragons dogma was physical but onimusha was digital ( in the West at least). It's always hard to tell what they have planned

@Grumblevolcano
Well, the generation isn't over yet. Just because Persona 5 wasn't announced at the exact time the internet decided to expect it, doesn't mean it's not coming. I'd be shocked... no. I'd be amazed if Persona 5 isn't on Switch by the time the next system releases.

As for the listing, that was possibly Persona 5 Scramble, but with Biomutant there is no ambiguity. No spinoffs the listing could mean instead.

Nonetheless, point taken. Nothing is guaranteed. At the same time, just because things don't happen right away when people want them to doesn't mean it's not happening (Metroid Prime Trilogy being a perfect example of that- I'll eat my shorts if we don't see that game on Switch at some point)

Considering Sega was hurt real bad during last fiscal year, their old ways of selective exclusivity (if there are no deals, in which case maybe) might come to an end. We might be seeing games like Sakura Wars and Yakuza make their way to Switch due to pressures from higher-ups.

One thing I think does need to happen is a change in expectation on the part of us - the fans.
We might want something a lot, but if the sore lack of Mother 3 in the States for past 13 years shows anything, as well as all of the false leaks many of us have fallen for - it can be aggravating to get our hopes up.
Being hopeful is fine. But don't act like the world is ending if your hopes are wrong.
I'm not saying this because of or in reply to anything someone else said, but only because E3 approaches quickly - we're about an entire month away now. The leaks will come, some will be wrong, there might be one or two (maybe even three) correct predictions. But don't pin all hope on the leaks and theories you make and find.
Expect the unexpected. Joker and Piranha Plant for Smash Bros. were unexpected. Cadence of Hyrule was unexpected. Heck, I could say Ridley for Smash and Metroid Prime 4 were unexpected after being wanted for so long.
My point is, this E3, try to find joy out of what you didn't expect. Try not to be disappointed by getting your hopes let down, because the news you didn't expect could be amazing.

@DFaceG_Rebooted Hear, hear. I take unverified things with a “that may be neat” mentality. I tend to get onto a hype train after it’s already made a few stops 😂

Except in Europe.

Because Capcom

Is importing really that much of a hassle in Europe? (Not trying to be snarky, just curious)

I recently imported the Japanese release of Onimusha (I'm in the US) off of Amazon Japan, the only additional cost on top of the game itself was the $10 international shipping charge, and it got here in less than a week. Not really any more cumbersome or expensive than buying something domestically.

@RR529 Yes it is.

Take the UK for instance. Because we are part of the European Trade Union, we pay a tariff on any imported goods.

That's on top of any customs charges, due to being electronic goods, they are subject to being opened and inspected.

And THEN Royal Mail slaps a delivery charge on top of THAT.

In total, let's take the physical release of Mega Man 11 for instance. What cost, what, $50 for the amiibo edition, that's £38. That's already more than the game costs at retail here for other systems since it got released on PS4/Xbox One at retail.

The customs charge for that was £20, plus the delivery cost and Royal Mail Charge, in total, the game cost me £85 to get.

@Knuckles-Fajita, yeah, that definitely seems like overkill.

Yeh, **** importing to the UK, just ****ing money away. Just be patient and buy a used copy from a sucka who couldn't resist those succulent added charges.

Would be nice to see Capcom bring something newer than 6th generation for a change. I love ports of great games, and it’s not the older games that I take issue with. But Capcom has not invested enough into bringing modern games to Switch. And at year 3, my patience is starting to wear thin. Bring a new Monster Hunter, and I’m good. But until I see the announcement, it’s hard not to shake my head at their efforts.

edit
(Although I must commend them for Dragon’s Dogma- 7th gen games are a perfect fit for Switch, and aside from MH, I wouldn’t really expect them to cram current gen AAA games on the system aside from a few carefully chosen titles)

Ugh, brutal.

I certainly wouldn't be importing games as often if I were dealing with those kinds of fees.

Only new game I'm expecting from Capcom at this point is Ace Attorney 7.

@IceClimbers
And a new Monster Hunter. That’s one game they will definitely release on Switch, guaranteed.

But.. ya. That’s about it.

@IceClimbers @JaxonH You forgot the next Mega Man installment, whatever that will end up being. But they're the only 3 new games Capcom will bother bringing to the Switch.
