MH5 on the Switch next Fall/Winter should be ideal so units can actually get in the hands of people first; they can't possibly satiate Japan with a launch MH.

No Switch? Capcom you fcking cheap bastard.

It's more likely that Nintendo doesn't allow anyone to jump the gun and announce stuff until Nintendo makes an official line-up Direct.
If there's no Switch I'm instantly less interested. tbh mhg burned me out on 3DS. After I had to quit playing for like 2-3 days straight due to hand cramps for like the 3rd or 4th time over the course of a month I knew I was super done until they moved the franchise to a console.

Who said it has to be coming to the Switch only? Maybe it's for 3DS too.
Yeah, like it happens with any transition between an old gen and new gen. Having an exclusive 3ds game would be the crazy thing here. A cross-gen would be the norm.

Despite no Switch/mobile announcement, I'm pretty curious yet excited nonetheless.

apologies because I misread your post and think you're on switch exclusive title side.
anyway, I can only think other than it might weird strategy by Capcom or some other possible reason that other people in this thread mentioned is that since this announcement is via Nintendo Direct, and Nintendo said to Mochizuki (I think?) in an interview that there's no Switch related stuff for this year. Thus, Capcom has to follow it.
If it was announced not via Direct I guess they'll announce Switch version as well. Not to mention if this is indeed 3DS exclusive title, why they don't announce it during TGS for example.

But they probably won't announce the Switch port yet and everyone will be omg lol Switch is doomed.
Or at the 3DS-only Direct that happened back on September 1st.
And who would be to blame for that?

Probably wanted to wait until Stories released.
So MHXG for 3DS? Or MHEXEinsider [

My big hope would be a MH5 on a more modern engine, and a port to Nintendo Switch next year. Doubt that's happening.
If it's something along the lines of MH Generations G, and I can't believe I'm typing this, but I'm not sure I would buy it. Generations seriously waned my interested in a series that I absolutely adored, and I doubt more of the same is going to cut it this time. Time will tell.

Nah. MHB posted an emergency stream. This is a new game.
Re: Engine. I very much doubt that. Why bring a "new" engine to a fading out console. I'm sure it will be MT again.
I totally and wholeheartedly agree with your second paragraph. Gen was the first series entry since Tri that I didn't finish (aka 99% achievements except for crowns and all quests clear). New styles and all were alright I'm just absolutely sick of the asset recycling and bloated endgame mechanic didn't help.

Even if they're going to speak about existing titles, they can't just miss this opportunity to tease things that are yet to be announced
This.
After 4 Ultimate I found Generations to be lacking in both content and end game.
Please move on to 5.

I'm expecting a new 3DS game announcement, real shame there's no Switch announcement yet.
They may also use the Direct to mention their next exhibit/in-game gear collaboration at Universal Studios Japan. A few of the other Cool Japan attractions for 2017 have already been announced and Monster Hunter the Real is, to my knowledge, still unconfirmed.

Yeah, I agree unfortunately. I was just saying, that in my personal fantasy land, Capcom would come up with an amazing new engine that enables them to port to Switch easily and efficiently. But that's really not happening. As it stands, I'd probably prefer a release of "MH Generations G" which I'm going to pass on, and then a MH5 on a new engine on Switch.

fuck the no switch quote...
Man, fuck that. This is a 52 fake out, a troll. This will be Switch related one way or another... even if they don't announce a Switch port or something just yet.
Yep down with the dromes
Who said MT Mobile can't be adapted for switch? :^)
I'm sure carrying over the 64x64 texture and low poly model assets won't be a problem either.

I don't think the engine has ever been the issue with the game being on the 3DS.
I have an original 3DS with a circle pad pro, which is a vast improvement over using the thing on its own, and it's the best 2nd analog option, even over the nub. But even with the increased bulk, MH is still a game that I find myself playing for stretches of a time way longer than is acceptable for such a small device.

Nintendo, Capcom, ndas, the fact that they release Switch after the holiday period yet they have to sell some games during holiday period...
Not really any indication, Capcom always polishes up their trailers with Monster Hunter games

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
The sooner Monster Hunter is done with dogshit 3ds graphics the better. One last ride for those assets huh, Capcom?
No, that would probably be a blog post on Capcom's community blog. Same as any western announcement of whatever this game will be.
Oh yeah, they already did that work for Monster Hunter Explore! Capcom really are going to stretch this out as long as humanly possible.
