So the best is impossible because you added the Switch thing there.

Monster Hunter Direct (October 27th)
- Thread starter JoeM86
- Start date
It has to be MHXG, that's been the trend throughout the history of the series, and I assume there is another spinoff announcement, most likely airu mura like game.
I would be really surprised if they announce MH5 and would be extremely disappointed if they stick to the same 15 years old assets...

By tease I mean not necessarily gameplay footage...just a little nudge, that there's more than MHXG

Yeah, that nudge is too much.

Pretty excited for this,but trying to keep expectations in check.... Switch is calling
Believe.
If it's MHXG on 3DS then agreed, I'll skip it. If it's MHXG on Switch then that would be a must buy, especially if online features are improved.
I'm still optimistic that they wouldn't dedicate a whole direct just to announce a G version of a spinoff.

Nintendo are feeling sorry for Sony now that Japan will be Switch territory in 2017. They wanted to give them a consolation prize.

For the love of God, what Monster hunter really needs, besides shiny graphics and shit is freaking bigger than 4 person rooms.8,12,16 the bigger the number the better. Online is crippled with only 4 people allowed per room.
imagine 25 hunter raids lol

Bigger rooms in monster hunter would be earth shattering... I could not even begin to imagine how amazing that would be.
Yep. 16 player rooms would be ideal. The absolute worst part of playing MH is jumping from room to room to room to room looking for a quest you want to join.
Having a GAF room which you can enter and leave as you please without the risk of it filling up; being able to hop between groups without leaving rooms; even just being able to have general "HR7" etc. rooms and then being able to find or post the quests you need without having to play through 10 quests you don't need to do first would be a gamechanger.
It needs to happen!

The original game on the PS2 allowed for 8 people per town. Crazy that they scaled it back as the series went forward.
A lot of things were scaled back as the series went forward lol

Going in big! I'm hoping for some DLC announcements, some discussion of Monster Hunter the Real 2017 at Universal Studios, new 3DS game is Generations G or something and then a teaser for 5 at the very end.
Didn't they scale that back when they stopped charging for online?
I thought Tri had bigger rooms in Japan where they changed.

Capcom have never charged for playing MH online in the West and we had the bigger rooms in the original game.
I'm pretty sure the excuse we got for the lobbies scaling back was due to the voice chat being added in Tri.

Would be great if they announce information regarding MH the real today for 2017.

Sigh, alright Capcom I'm ready. Bring on another 3DS MH. I'll buy it anyway.
That was only for the non-Japanese versions. Japanese Tri still had 8-player rooms.

Interesting.
Shame they haven't made a return though. It was much easier getting groups together in an 8 player town. I remember we used to split into 2 groups, pick the same quest and then have a race to see who could finish it first. Happy days.
Nah, even with 4 its too crowded sometimes. Duo or trio is all that's needed
I don't think he's asking for hunts with more than 4 players, only the lobbies to allow for more than 4. Hunts with more than 4 playes would indeed be dumb.

The final hour.
Same here man.
I think it definitely I'll get localised. It's a big budget 3DS game after all and Monster Hunter is at an all time hype in the West. I think they're waiting for the Pokemon Sun and Moon storm to pass first though. They obviously wouldn't want it over shadowing Stories.
It's weird though, I've always thought Stories would have been the one to succeed from the Yokai Watch marketing push. It was obvious YW was never gonna be too big in the west, as it's very traditionally japanese and rooted in its culture. If they wanted the next big Monster catching game over here, Stories would have been the better choice. Every kid could relate to having a dragon by their side rather than an ass monster haha.
So misleading...

Says there is Nintendo Switch information in the link, which references the no Nintendo Switch information to be made during the direct.
Edit: Bing translation is inaccurate.

What, the tweet said no Switch information.

Ah ok. I recommend using http://www.excite.co.jp/world/ for translations between Japanese and English. Quite accurate.
Thanks, that definitely said Nintendo Switch information isn't included.
