It was easy to port their CPS and Naomi arcade games to the Saturn and Dreamcast

RE 2 on Nintendo 64 kicks ass. That being said, supposedly it took 2 years to make the port. Time and money, in the end it just wasn't worth the hassle.

>>7359496
Literally nobody supported the N64 in Japan lmao, aside from around less than 5 companies, the most prominent one being Konami.

>>7359496
Saturn was a success in Japan. So it makes sense that they bet on the Dreamcast.

>>7359549
>RE 2 on Nintendo 64
thats not a capcom game, they outsourced RE2 to fatmerica

>>7359584
Either way they did a great job

>>7359526
This
the Saturn and Dreamcast were way more popular in Japan than the N64
In the US, Capcom primarily targeted the PS1 since it was vastly more popular than the N64

Cartridges sucks and Shitendo wanting to capitalize every possible cent.

>>7359726
>Cartridges sucks
No loading times = based

>>7359726
Ironic how Sony now is like the old 80's Nintendo wanting to censor and police third parties.

>>7360157
Woke-ism... was a mistake...

>>7359496
because n64 didn't need dollar store kiddie pap

>>7360165
The word you’re looking for is “conservatism”

>>7360205
I don't think so, tranny.

>>7360224
>imagine actually thinking reactionary politics aren’t conservatism

>>7359625
unfunny zoomer humor

>>7360349
name 1 megacorporation that espouses right wing traditionalist ideology

>implying that Mexico isn't even fatter than the USA, Australia, and UK.

>>7360456
Star Wars is not a Megacorporation, and neither is Sesame Street. I don't see the connection with T-mobile, though.

>>7360713
mexico is battened up with some of the world's best cuisine, mutts just eat trash

>>7360157
And what's even funnier is companies will still stick with them cus they still spite Nintendo's behaviour in the 90's.

>RE 2 on Nintendo 64 kicks ass
As a technical feat, that many thought was impossible, yeah, absolutely, but they were only able to pull it off using massive amounts of compression:

The N64 version, though a faithful port, is still worse than the PSX version due to the compression

Supposedly there was a port of Street Fighter Alpha in the works at one point.

>>7359524
>Arcade port
Yet N64 is powerful than PS1. Clowncom can’t get the job done.

>>7361352
>data compression
Metal Gear Solid and Chrono Cross being possibly on N64.

>>7361358
Porting SFA1 or Darkstalkers on snes instead.

>>7359579
always have been bad idea

>>7361463
>>7361475
The point is that even if these games had been ported, the ports would have required massive compression, of both video and audio, and would have been inferior to the PSX originals, just like RE2.

>>7361352
I mean we're talking 700mb into 64mb, all things considered it's great.

>>7361707
RE 2 is better on N64. no fucking loading times and no wobbly ass polygons

>>7361352
And to think that FFVII could've been on the 64. I can't see it it unless it's sprite based like Valkyrie Profile

>>7359496
nintendo kept fucking them around with the DD which they were planning on supporting more. Frankly Capcom did too much for Nintendo with how much they were getting dicked around.

>>7361910
>. no fucking loading times
There are no load times on the PSX version too.
The load screens are the door open/close animations.
The N64 has these too.

>>7360224
>>7360456
what does this have to do with the N64

>>7361949
Not that anon, but you could skip those in the N64 and PC versions.
