what year was this?
Can't wait! Especially in Japan!
Apparently only first part of the rumor could be true. MHW is mainline and there will be no portable. /s

I guess these have been in development for a while and Switch was an unknown quantity. Maybe ports will come, who knows.
This at least started, seemingly, somewhere around 2013 so long before the Switch was a thing.
Also for anyone still unsure who this is for and where that rumor stands:

next year after warudo released. not really seeing they're going to announce it this year.
Interesting, I am so going to be let down if Monster Hunter XX isn't coming to Switch in the west.
Do you mean in Japan or worldwide?
For worldwide, if Smash makes it out this year, Capcom actually has a chance of pulling in 6th place (behind For Honor, Injustice, ARMS, Tekken, and Smash) in the fighting game genre even with actually shipping 2 million copies. If we do a 15 month slice (include Dragon Ball), or focus on the fiscal year (drop For Honor, put in Dragon Ball), still plausible given how well XenoVerse 1 did.
In Japan, I'm not sure the genre sells enough to really matter.
Both really. I mean you can see my expectations for MvC in that plot I made before which I intentionally over-under by roughly 2x. Not really expecting much from it in Japan.
Globally though I am seeing only Marvel as a grace for what they showed today. It looks bad, production values don't seem high, but I guess it has a story mode... But how deep will that be?
I doubt the story would even be that good. It's a crossover, I expect its quality to be on the same level as Project X Zone.
But of course, that would probably be enough for people to want to buy the game.
I guess it's not a far-fetched idea that MHW was a numbered title before the MHX and Switch situation happened. With MH5 still lingers in the air and MHXX Switch version coming, both Capcom and Sony (more so in the former case) just avoided the potential backlash they will receive in MH homeland if MHW called MH5 instead and the game turned out to be different from the old one in bad way.
Considering the introduction of Hunting style in MHX, we could expect that future MH portable title will continue in that same direction while MHW keep the old formula (with whatever changes the team brought into it).

I think ARMS will sell pretty well at launch no matter what because it's an attractive new Switch title and the Switch is a popular system now. The real test will be how the legs go, and the word of mouth since it is a multiplayer game.
Your English is pretty good, don't worry about it.
What opening do you think ARMS will achieve? YSO pegged it at 65k-75k, do you think it'll be higher?I think ARMS will sell pretty well at launch no matter what because it's an attractive new Switch title and the Switch is a popular system now.

It's possible sure, hard to say. With Nintendo goes like this in particular, pre-orders only tell one part of the story. New IP from a big mainstream publisher on a popular mainstream system means that if it takes off lots of people could just walk into a store and buy it over the weekend. Especially if it is effective at getting people to convince their friends to grab it just to play with them.
I might be wildly off but didn't Capcom only apply for the MHW trademark on June 5? That to me seems like it could be a last minute title change if we assume it was initially meant to be MH5.

TGS at best. Just a confirlation they're making it obv, no teaser etc before W is released.
The only difficult thing I see coming up for Arms in Japan are its legs really. It should have a good FW.
Despite Capcom's past, I doubt it will be mentioned before MHW comes out.
I noticed that all pre-orders for ARMS from Amazon Japan includes a 500 yen discount code for digital Splatoon 2 now, I wonder if this impacted the spike in any way.
Well that's one way to sell Switch games

I believe that. Western focused mainline series on home consoles and japanese focused mainline series on portable consoles always made the most sense to me.

Of course it's not. People saying otherwise are talking nonsense.
Lol right after I was saying Taiko was the biggest Nintendo exclusive franchise.
Story of Seasons now no.1?(for now)
? Taiko is not a Nintendo exclusive franchise.
Inafune x Level 5? Oh boy, discussions about that will reach max level of toxicity. Curious to see what it's all about, though.
Speaking of Level-5, just read that Fantasy Life Online was delayed yet again. Based on feedback from the beta, it seems.

Gimme Ace Combat 4, 5, 6, X HD remasters BanNam!
I think all in all that MHXX on Switch will be the last handheld MH for a while. I think that Capcom rather will focus on MHW and hope that it will sell a lot better than the handheld MH have done in the past.
Japan is an bit of a hit or miss. But I think it could sell a million in Japan and 5-6 million worldwide on all 3 platforms.
I do wonder if Arms can break 150k, if so I do wonder if it can do 250k. How long can Nintendo go with these big shortages without increasing the production for Switch?

So Capcom is just going to abandon Japanese MH players because...?
MH World selling 5 million outside Japan sounds like fantasy land.

He says while PS4 is getting a mainline Dragong Quest, Kingdom Hearts and Monster Hunter.
Nothing new. It should be known that Switch will never get the Japanese support PS4 has.
Code Vein and DBZ are both 2018 titles, so a SW port should of been in though considering third parties must of been aware of the SW at least a year in advance (2016).
150k FW or 150k LTD?
I think it difficult to break 150k FW by the comg charts.
150k or 250k LTD should be a lock.
ugh... I mean, I'm a big fan of Level-5, and I will buy snack world and layton, so I'm looking forward to it
which will never release
