Capcom Makes an Official Statement Regarding the Nintendo Switch

In Capcom's latest investor update they dropped a few tidbits about development for the Switch.

Q: What is Capcom's stance with regards to developing for the Nintendo Switch?

A: It is excellent to have the market invigorated with new hardware launches. As a software publisher, we endeavor to develop games that offer enjoyment best suited to each piece of hardware’s features and target users. Following first party, in order to introduce our own content we are currently moving forward with internal planning and analysis as a partner company.

That was a near perfect non-answer, but it's spun positively, so let's hope.

As for cross platform titles?

Q: Is it possible to develop multiplatform titles on the Nintendo Switch?

A: We are currently carrying out research with regards to multiplatform implementation of software for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on to the Nintendo Switch and thus are unable to comment at this moment. However, we do feel that there are differences in the desired direction and the play-style of the Nintendo Switch and those of the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. At Capcom, we determine which platform to release a title for after considering the features of both our software and the hardware in question, believing we must bring the enjoyment of our games to their maximum potential.

More non-answers... I mean, they're perfectly reasonable non-answers from a business perspective, and Capcom is a business. But it would be wonderful have the house of Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, and so many other great games come out and scream their support.
