As in the article Capcom have already reported they are working on getting the resident evil 7 engine working on switch. Of course this is just the game engine and doesn't mean they are porting the game.

@sd- stop.

You brought this up in another article and several users corrected you why did you purposely ignore the statements by the company? They stated they have no plans to bring Resident Evil to the switch and they even made do with that promise as Revelations is being ported to the Xbox one and PlayStation 4 and it's completely skipping the Switch.

I mean capcom tends to use one engine at all times. They used MT Framework last gen.

So they'd probably use RE engine for other in-house games like Monster Hunter.

I have to agree about MH. Nintendo has a firm grasp on that IP. I think the last MH for a console other than a Nintendo was ps2.

I wish they would share...

Fist... Monster hunter became popular because of the psp. Only reason it looks like this now is because Capcom requested Sony update adhoc party of ps3 so it would work with the newest monster hunter at the time. Sony didn't end up doing it. Which makes sense, monster hunter was selling millions, why are they cheating out forcing people to use adhoc party instead of adding online... But basically to be spiteful Capcoms MH team brought them to 3ds going forward over Vita despite the fact Vita's second stick was what it needs the most lol

@te-I very much understand where Monster Hunter became popular from but at the end of the day my assessment is based on their financial situation their financial situation is telling me that they likely cannot afford to produce this game unless Nintendo funds which to me tells me it's statistically likely we will see a Monster Hunter on the switch before we'll see one on the PlayStation 4 or even the PlayStation Vita it's not ignoring that it existed on the PSP, it's just recognizing the company's financial situation.

I don't think Capcom did this to be spiteful, I think they just don't have the money.

If you're not going to bring up the company's financial situation I'm not entirely sure how you could hold this conversation a lot of their decisions have to do with where they are currently.

I mean you're basically making a statement and completely ignoring that they actually don't have the money for the thing you're talking about I'm sure it makes lots of logical Sense on the PSVita that doesn't mean they could afford it.

15 million vs 65 million, add in their current financial situation and then add in that Nintendo is more than happy to fund the project and you have a great reason why it exists on the 3DS

I think what he means is that were it not for Capcom's persuasion, Nintendo would've low-balled developers on memory. It's great that they listened to Capcom but I believe what he's getting at is that it shouldn't have come to that in the first place. Nintendo should've already had the foresight.

Yea if you think this is good news I think there's something wrong with you. Nintendo shouldn't have even considered to do less internal memory in the first place. The fact that they did shows how out of touch they are. Thankfully a dev convinced them to even give the little bit that they already have which is still ludicrously low.

So, yea I don't find this to be good news it's more of a frightening reality check.

And to be fair, developers told Sony the exact same thing when Sony was talking to them about what they needed for current gen game development. I forgot the exact quote but Sony was considering putting 4GB of RAM into the PS4 and one certain developer told them in so many words "if you release that console with only 4GB or RAM, you're dead!" So I get it. Hardware manufacturers want to release these consoles as minimal as they can get away with to keep costs low. However that was more than FOUR years ago. I cannot believe that in 2015/16/17 Nintendo would've even considered releasing a console with 2 GB of RAM. Hell I still think 4GB isn't enough.

No 1080p in docked mode, I can promise you that. Even with 4GB we're already seeing games such as Zelda having to settle for 900p.

I'm not sure the 900p is entirely due to RAM constraints.

Yet...

It was obvious the launch was going to be strong. What's unclear is after 2017....

For a home console, it's underpowered though.

No, it is not. The Nintendo Switch shares specs with mobile devices of the past. A LG G3, Galaxy S6, iPhone 6, and others already matched specs. All of these devices are old and outdated in mobile terms.

For a tablet its on par, for a game machine a bit underpowered. And I like the Switch, just wish it had a little more power. Hopefully Sony does a Vita2 with good specs, but who knows. I feel like the Switch will do ok maybe even good, but lack of power does isolate it from a lot of 3rd party which hurts for wider acceptance.

I almost went for the ultimate edition... as that truly is the best deal. the games by themselves are $90 (US), that alone is $900 in value for all 10 titles. then add in the $250 for the console and wired stick. Another $120 for a wireless stick, $60 for a wireless pad and then $35 for the memory card. $1365 (US) if all bought separately.

I just had to... I already have an AES with a multi-cart. But this thing was just too good to pass up. Especially since the wireless controller works on regular AES and the game cart does as well. Plus it comes with a matching white memory card.

@darthv72 - I'm not a collector of games for these retro consoles (have the Analogue Super NT (SNES), Mega SG (Genesis) and 3D (N64). But I just use everdrives with each system as I only have a couple of SNES carts and only 2 N64 carts. A lot of these games are stupidly expensive so I'd rather just invest in a single everdrive and then I can just run every game. However the everdrive that works with the AES is $600! Crazy stuff.

^^...that is why i got one of those 160-1 carts off aliexpress. it works great. and yeah i use everdrives and ODE where available. i do like to buy PS4/5 games and Switch stuff though. I dont buy much in the way of physical XB anymore, I just use GPU to play what I like.

right on... and yeah when i saw Amazon was offering them, I had to order a wireless pad and memory card for my existing AES. i used to have the Neo CD and i really liked the clicky thumbstick. Now if they make the kidney bean shaped control stick I will be all set.

the white one came with a memory card, so I figure one is enough for me.

I had a similar issue. First it wasnt the right region, then i was able to correct that and then paypal worked.
