Capcom "Will Consider The Possibility" Of Supporting Nintendo NX

Cant companies just be nice and support all platforms

I'd think they would regardless. Has there ever been a Nintendo platform that they haven't released any games for?

Street Fighter V, that would be nice.
I've got a PS4 to play it, but I'd prefer playing it on the NX gamepad.

MegaMan Rebirth!

Clickbait article. That response doesn't sound bad or negative to me. It's just a "safe" answer from Capcom's part.

Seems like your standard none answer. I wouldn't start to be negative yet.

An epic MH would be nice!

Don't tell them I would pay full price for games like "Ultra Street Fighter IV" on the Wii U. I will worry about NX when it arrives, I would much rather have their support right now, but no one is in this for charity right?

I'll settle for a port of monster hunter 4 on to the NX so I can finally enjoy this game in HD with voice chat rather than playing with crab hands, eye strain and frustration.
I'll also take revalations 2 port with voice chat and co-op.

A dying company is "considering" making money with their core audience from olden days ? How about a "consideration kickstarter" ?
Capcom, you decided that the 3DS wasnt going to be popular back in the day, "considering" the same with the NX might not be your best option.

Aww… poo you right back Capcom.

I still don't understand why Nintendo allowed Super Smash Bros. to include Ryu in the roster when there aren't any new Street Fighter games available on Wii U or 3DS (and I'm not counting SSF4, which was released close to 5 years ago, and hasn't been offered the DLC/upgrades of subsequent releases).

@SuperCharlie78 sadly that will never happen with Sony "helping" development, which judging from the two terrible betas is not a good thing but it seems the SFV contract with Sony is blocking other Street Fighter content on other systems such as Xbox One backwards compatibility. I wont be surprised if the NX doesn't even get Street Fighter II on Virtual Console. (seriously why didn't they release HD remix on Wii u or 3DS?)

Sadly, all of this support won't come over to the NX unless the system sells, and then that means that the games the companies release on it, would have to sell, or we'll see another Wii U era for the NX. I really hope that nintendo keeps this in mind, and starts working with the other companies and letting them expand their games, instead of taking over control and getting more companies mad. Nintendo really needs the support for the NX to achieve...and I really want the NX to achieve (whatever it is), so I just hope that nintendo keeps all of this in mind.

@sillygostly the version I heard was Nintendo and Capcom agreed to have Ryu in Smash and the Wii U was meant to get a port of USF4 with a Nintendo character in it. However the Sony deal apparently for SFV prevents Capcom from releasing street fighter games on other platforms, This is apparently what is also holding up Tekken vs Street Fighter (as it's meant to be multi-format).

Nintendo VS Capcom could still happen as it doesn't use the SF name

3rd Parties will always come back to support new hardware

Bring over all Resi n Street Fighter games plus Capcom working with Nintendo too make a new Megaman game would be nice.

@Splatburst Were you hoping for a transcribed "[evil laugh]" and "[mustache twirl]" at the end of the quote? I don't see how the headline implies anything more than what the article states.

To be perfectly honest, I think Nintendo is strictly forbidding third-parties of even mentioning NX plans. Just take a look at how quickly Square Enix tried to save face after they announced their Dragon Quest plans.

Not sure why Nintendo would do that, but it's certainly what it seems to be happening.

Well, I don't really care. Monster Hunter is the only Capcom title I'm interested in at all, and that IP is safely sitting on the 3DS - for now.

@ricklongo I'd imagine they try to prevent a disaster akin to the WiiU launch, where several 3rd-party dev's first assured vast support of the platform, only to then retreat cowardly after the lackluster launch, with Nintendo being blamed for their false promises.

@Kaze_Memaryu : One of the reasons for the lacklustre launch was due to gypped third party ports. I couldn't bring myself to buy any third party games at launch as they were all lesser games than their last-gen equivalents.

All of this we will consider is not a good early sign. Hopefully a few good 3rd parties capitalize on this and do well enough. SquareEnix seems to be one of those but what will they do outside of DQ?

@Frank90 Megaman Rebirth? Yes please!

I'd like to see more support for the wii u while it's still going. A port of resident evil revelations 2 would be good.

@97alexk No. Because they need the one that makes the most money. And when they do support the failing consoles, they leave out the best games on those and take a LONG time to release them to other plats.

@Splatburst Yeah, usually when I click @Damo articles I know they're clickbait. I don't like being suckered. Oh well. At least I could tell it was by him due to the "that's awfully nice of them" comment.

I guess this is good news since I might consider the possibility of purchasing a Capcom game on NX maybe.

Honestly I would be grateful if Capcom would just support other IP than Street Fighter and RE. ....Not that I don't love Street Fighter, but they have other IP that need leverage.

megaman! duh!

In their defense they kind of got asked a broad question. It wasn't specific to the NX.

Their support of iOS has been terrible. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is currently broken since iOS 9 came out and they have no intention to fix it. I wouldn't trust them as far as I could dragon punch them.

Capcom needs to back NX or I'll skip on their games

@Trinexx There was an HD remake on the PS3. I'd look there for one.

Dragon's dogma

@Ryu_Niiyama A little guy called Mega Man, yeah

@97alexk Not when all these third parties are fueled by greed and money instead of wanting everybody to just play a cool game they just made.

Come onnnnnnn Monster Hunter NX! ....and all the other great Capcom franchises that have missed Nintendo consoles.

"That's awfully nice of them." XD
Anyway, not sure why they wouldn't, unless they have no idea what it is.

This translates to. If EA etc. supports Wii U, we will too.

As usual, EA is controlling which console devs must support.
It started with Dreamcast.

This is just typical PR talk. Very bland and dry.
They don't want to commit and risk having to support another Wii U (failure), but they also want to leave their options open in case the NX becomes another Wii like success!

I'm sure they'll support the NX handheld, but the NX home console might get less support unless there's a sizeable audience for their games.
Wii sold tons of consoles, but the audience for actual games was extremely low which, combined with the Wii's lack of power and modern capabilities, turned third party devs away from Nintendo.
Wii U is in the same situation, except that it has sold like crap. Low audience and lack of power and modern capabilities once again turns away devs. Though this time it's partially the dev's fault for treating Wii U as a secondary platform. However the Wii is to blame for generating that attitude in the first place.

If NX home console were to succeed, it MUST be appealing enough to sell X360, PS3, and PS4 numbers so that not only will they have high sales, they'll also have an audience for expensive western games, an audience for JAPANESE GAMES, and of course they'll have more people buying Nintendo games. It needs to break free of the shackles placed by the two consoles before it.

@AVahne To be fair the Wii U has the highest software attachment rate of any of the consoles. Some third party games have sold within a 20% margin of their PS4/Xbone counterparts which is quite impressive.

Well that was a whole lotta nothing said by Capcom. Standard PR response.

@Kaze_Memaryu Agreed. Over the past year or so, these "internet leaks" really, have only hurt Nintendo. In today's age, the internet seems to quick to judge something at face value before they've had a chance to really evaluate it. I think Nintendo is opting for more of an "Apple-esque" approach, and drop last-minute release bombs on the public. It helps reduce product speculation, falsification and the like.

The problem is, the internet seems to know what they want before they've ever had a chance to recieve it, and then are quick to bash something that isn't quite what they were expecting. Also, these leaks only help to overhype products more-so than they actually need.

I really hope they are hard at work behind the scenes more than I'm assuming, and truly suprise me around NX reveal time.

It seems Nintendo has done their part to reach out to third parties regarding NX... now we wait to see what the results are.

Maybe they will just keep making Monster Hunter sequels forever on 3DS. This is pretty much a typical answer.

Not sure why this was framed as something negative, it was a standard 'don't say too much' answer from a corporation. The question wasn't even specifically about NX. I'm sure they will if the system sells, and if it doesn't then they won't. It's up to Nintendo to make the former happen.

I like the article pic. Who's the artist?

Just put MH on the system...T.T

Gee, thanks Capcom. Let us know when the funeral for your dead and buried serieses like Mega Man is going to be, so someone else can take them off your hands and resurrect them. Just about all Capcom does is Street Fighter, Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, and broken microtransaction fests like Marvel vs Capcom 3 these days, anyways.

It makes sense to consider it. They need to be sure that enough people get a NX and that enough people will buy their games on it before they start making games.

Their response sounds like a neutral "we can't say anything right now" answer.

@spacejump I was thinking more Breath of Fire, Darkstalkers, and Onimusha but I guess Rockman is ok too.

@Ventilator
I find strange how something like this could have started in the Dreamcast, when Capcom was a big (if not the biggest) supporter of that console. The demise of the DC could be blamed to many parties, EA being one of them, but Capcom? definitely not.

@FeedingTheWheel
Kinu Nishimura, long standing Capcom colaborator (at least as far as the Capcom vs SNK series back in the early 2000s). Also credited with the design for the Zero Escape series (DS, 3DS and Vita), and Code of Princess (3DS).

@97alexk
I fear you misunderstand the point of a business.

They probably will come support with one or two games and never come back.

@TimLatshaw I don't know about European English, but in American English, "we'll consider it" can often be another way of saying "No thanks" or "Not going to happen", especially in business cases like job interviews. So the phrase can be interpreted as negative, even though the context of this quote is standard neutral PR talk.

@PlywoodStick Although I'm American too, I've had enough job interviews where I can see how that connotation could be inferred. I doubt it was the case with Capcom here, but my apologies to @Splatburst for my response if that is how they were seeing the context as well.

Alot of Capcom series are perfect for Nintendo consoles, but Nintendo's nx needs to have better sales and hardware, or no one will care. Personally, Nintendo could be the best again, but they need to realize it takes great third party games to also sell a console, not just all Nintendo games.

@Yomerodes : Capcom made 50 games for Dreamcast, while EA made 0.
