new monster reveal? some fucking diablos variant. k. Other one looks pretty cool though

 

[DrROBschiz]

I would be surprised if we dont get a switch version

They already have a localization gap thats going to push this into the switch launch territory

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Wonder if they'll fix the abysmal 3D effect of X. It was such a regression from 4/4U. Like looking at a 2D image pushed into the distance.

 

[Mailenstein]

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARCH?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cw_sasuke]

March release - just like Switch lol.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

LOL MARCH RELEASE

This is definitely releasing on Switch.

 

[LiberaTeExInferis]

They are not going to migrate to Switch right?

 

[DrROBschiz]

Switch version or fucking riot

I bet the switch version gets previewed on Jan12th

Lock my prediction in

 

[Anteo]

LOL MARCH RELEASE

This is definitely releasing on Switch.

But I thought you lied. Why do you lie about lying

 

[Chris1964]

LOL MARCH RELEASE

This is definitely releasing on Switch.

Last time you were sure it was a December release.

At least we found Switch release date.

 

[ivanthebearable]

That was lame

 

[Forkball]

Watch the Switch come out the same day.

 

[JimPanzer]

Really pleased with everything except the release date :/

 

[Peru]

That date... surely an HD version is in the works.

 

[mclem]

I would be surprised if we dont get a switch version

The March release date seems... appropriate.

 

[Rymuth]

Well, that was fun

 

[Boney]

I doubt this will get localized.

 

[purseowner]

Watch the Switch come out the same day.

Yep, seems plausible now.

 

[CTLance]

Please don't launch the switch with a Monster Hunter game.
Please don't launch the switch with a Monster Hunter game.
Please don't launch the switch with a Monster Hunter game.

I'd order that shit so hard, I'd leave after images.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Yeah, I'd bet on a Switch release on the same day if I was a betting man.

 

[AkelisRain]

I used to get very 2xcited over Monster Hunter, but I am so burnt out on it. The releases are getting to quick between them for me. I'll sit out another one. I still haven't touched my copy of X.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Day1 switch version makes sense for global , I can see WW release date.

 

[Kouriozan]

I doubt this will get localized.

Only the Switch version will be, knowing Nintendo.

 

[DrROBschiz]

I doubt this will get localized.

The 3ds version might not be

Switch version demand in the west i imagine will be much higher

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Last time you were sure it was a December release.

At least we found Switch release date.

Sometimes I lose.

 

[Nocturnowl]

See if this could be done like a DLC addition to the base Generations it'd be pretty neat but naaah, can't be going for another cart update.

 

[Shengar]

I doubt this will get localized.

We either get it not far from Japanese release or receiving the Switch. Either way, it's fine.\




Also G Rank is in. That's what's important.

 

[ggx2ac]

March 18th is a Saturday? Nintendo wouldn't release the Switch on the same day would they? Imagine the lines.

 

[Infinite]

Only the Switch version will be, knowing Nintendo.

This is a Capcom game

 

[sfried]

Switch version or fucking riot

I bet the switch version gets previewed on Jan12th

Lock my prediction in

Considering the coincidental release date...yeah, your prediction is not far off.

I have a feeling developers/publishers are under embargo before they can announce their Switch lineups before the January 12 presentation.

 

[Mpl90]

Yeeeeeeeeeah, that release date. I'm surprised they didn't just go with a vague release period, but full release date, lol.

 

[Muskieratboi]

Monster Hunter Double Cross |OT| Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

 

[Forkball]

I believe he said preorders were available in a few weeks, so I don't think a Switch release is likely. People would be pissed if they preordered the game for the 3DS only to find out it's coming to the Switch at the exact same time.

 

[DrROBschiz]

Right?

All the pieces are falling into place

 

[Pudd]

They said something about DLC...so can people of X download the new content? If yes, I would go ahead an buy Generations now.

The thirst is real.

 

[Qurupeke]

If they have to release a Monster Hunter game on Switch, better be a proper game and not this Generations stuff. Something with a G rank...

 

[Sammy Samusu]

So why didn't they reveal the Switch version anyway?

Maybe because they couldn't show footage? Because of the release date? Much fun to be had in January.

But I thought you lied. Why do you lie about lying

I didn't want to compromise my sources!1

 

[Diprosalic]

this is a good place as any to ask:

i recently found an unopened copy of the WiiU MonHun in my shelf, should i play it? i haven't played one yet.
or just buy a 3ds game?

 

[JimPanzer]

If this releases the same day as the switch in Japan the thing better be region-free. Doubt it will be a launch title for the west.

If they have to release a Monster Hunter game on Switch, better be a proper game and not this Generations stuff. Something with a G rank...

they confirmed G-rank for XX though...

 

[RikuDawn]

I believe he said preorders were available in a few weeks, so I don't think a Switch release is likely. People would be pissed if they preordered the game for the 3DS only to find out it's coming to the Switch at the exact same time.

It wouldn't be that hard to cancel a pre-order for the 3DS version after the Switch version is officially announced.

 

[CTLance]

So to summarise, we'll be getting a MHX "standard expansion" called MHXX with three new large monsters, two new cover monsters, a new map, and two new styles. In Smarch, right around the time when Switch is planned to launch.

 

[Kinsei]

We either get it not far from Japanese release or receiving the Switch. Either way, it's fine.\




Also G Rank is in. That's what's important.

That remains to be seen. For all we know it could still be a complete joke difficulty wise just like the base game. Especially with two more styles that I'm sure will be just as overpowered if not even more overpowered than what is in the base game.

this is a good place as any to ask:

i recently found an unopened copy of the WiiU MonHun in my shelf, should i play it? i haven't played one yet.

3 Ultimate (The Wii U game) is the best game in the series IMO.

 

[Oddish1]

Monster Hunter XXX for the Switch in 2018 then.

 

[Tacorona72]

I need the difficulty and the power.

 

[Infinite]

Personally I didnt enjoy MHGen as much. Felt like monster HP is too low and the monster selection was lacking. Hopefully this fixes both

Mhgen has a bigger monster selection than other base monster hunter games. You probably feel that way about monster hp because there's no g rank but a lot of monsters in fact got health buffs.

 

[Cerity]

The new monster really reminds me of bahumut or something from modern FF games.

 

[JimPanzer]

Monster Hunter XXX for the Switch in 2018 then.

With an all new "hunting" style were you just make love to monsters

 

[Sammy Samusu]

DONT FORGET ABOUT THE CAPCOM STREAM!

Starts in 10 minutes.

 

[crinale]

It wouldn't be that hard to cancel a pre-order for the 3DS version after the Switch version is officially announced.

That's how MH3 went to bomba bin and retailers won't like it.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

This is the stupidest way to get around the "There won't be a G version of MHX!" claim they made last year
