Capcom will assess how much it will support the Nintendo Switch based on sales of Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers, according to its COO.
Speaking to Toyokeizei (and spotted by NeoGAF user Calm Mind), Haruhiro Tsujimoto explained the company's current policy towards Nintendo's new hardware:
"With Street Fighter 2 going on sale in May," he explained (per an IGN translator), "Capcom will monitor its performance with regard to supporting the Switch."
It's not clear whether Tsujimoto is implying that Capcom may withdraw entirely from creating Switch games if the game sees poor sales, if it will reassess games it already has planned behind the scenes, or if this a more positive feeling - that if Street Fighter 2 performs well, it may increase Switch game production.
Despite a long history of collaboration, Capcom has been more reticent than many publishers to show public support for Nintendo's hybrid console. Before its release, the company questioned the value of multiformat ports to Switch, and Street Fighter remains its only slated game for the console.
Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers will be released tomorrow, May 26. It's the latest re-release of the classic 1991 fighting game, featuring new modes, HD visuals and two new characters.
