Monster Hunter XX coming to Switch
- Thread starter The Last One
- Start date
Any chance this come to the west this year?, I'm trying really hard to convince myself to buy a switch with my first salary 
, but it will probably be a Zelda, Mario Kart and Mario machine for a whole year.
So MH5 exclusive to PC?
People port begging in consoles shouldn't really talk about how X console limits a game when you consider the CPU of the "modern" consoles.

For real, why the hell is the talk about A GAME WHICH DOES NOT EXIST/HAS NOT BEEN ANNOUNCED instead of the game in the actual topic?
As soon as Street Fighter passes one million
Yup.

Wouldn't bank on that. They didn't fix it with Tri Ultimate so I doubt they would do it here

I can't wait for all these PS4 MH5 beggers to eat crow once E3 has come and gone.
Trying to pass something off as real that doesn't exist is amusing.

Heya, just gonna drop this here for visibility:
To reiterate two points:
First
Port begging is when X product is on Y, and people go "please bring it to Z"
Speculation is when there is no hard information available, regardless of the precedent w.r.t. a franchise, i.e. historically on handhelds, etc.
Second
As MHWilliams said, keep "MH on PS4" out of this thread anyway. If someone wants to, go make a "The Past, Present and Future of Monster Hunter" thread if you want to because I do think it's an interesting discussion to have, just not in a thread where people may want to discuss potential features/upgrades on a particular platform for a particular title that's already been announced.

It would only make sense for Capcom to bring MH to consoles/PC to help it grow in the West, but I don't expect it to match the sales that 3DS or a portable system (Switch) can achieve in Japan. In other words, I can't see a PS4 exclusive happening, the West wouldn't make up for the lost sales in Japan, imo (obviously). Multiplat makes sense.
The Switch might be interesting for Capcom though since it gives them a "part" home console that the West seems to be embracing. So, who knows.

Don't think this genre would do well on PC don't see the audience for it
Do you honestly believe Capcom was talking about the Switch in that article? It's obvious they weren't. The Monster Hunter series originated on Sony consoles and they actually have an equal amount of releases with 11 games on Sony and Nintendo platforms. I don't care too much either way but I feel some of you would freak out if the series made an appearance on the PlayStation 4.

Is EhoaVash an insider? Otherwise surely this shit warrants a temp ban.
Yep, so this is exciting.
Had tons of fun with MH GAF parties on Wii U in my 200+ hours of playtime, but I just can't play them on 3DS without my hand hurting after 15 mins.
Good thing is that I already own a Pro Controller, hopefully they won't make a MH themed one or I will have to buy it x)
OK. On Topic.
I have not played a HM game since the first on on the 3DS (TriG). Never really got into it. Seemed very hard to control and I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing.
Would this game be a good one to jump back into the series with? I hear it is faster. But should I just wait for the next numbered one?

fatigue most likely. Most people werent expecting them to do a G rank version of Generations since it was an anniversary game(especially since I recall them denying it would even happen when Gen got released there)
Its been stuck on 3DS for a while people are waiting for the next big leap for the series
It literally popped up an hour or so ago. It caught everyone off guard at how it was suddenly announced out of the blue with no subtle hints that we actually would see a Switch version of MHXX and more likely to see MH5 instead. Still, like you said: This works perfectly in Capcom's favor since it gives them the ability to take full advantage of what the Switch is capable of and to allow this to be an actual thing.
And who knows if we might see something related to E3 in a few weeks too!

I do think visually it will be upgraded. 3Us versions came out at the same time and was a shoddy port at best with the textures and input lag. This is a version releasing after the initial release for a new system. They aren't just going to advertise it as that 3DS game port in the west. It'll look nicer I bet.
I just need more Prowler goodness. Easily the best new feature of Generations
You know what's up

There it fucking is!
Was really interested in trying the Monster Hunter games on 3DS, but never managed to get around to them. XX is the updated version of Generations, right?

You recall wrong (for the second at least) since they never localized the third PSP entry until the PS3's HD version.

Dude just let it be, don't try to back seat mod. Let's get back to talking about XX
Freedom Unite still the top selling PSP game, right?
Do you guys think there might be a chance that show off MH 5 when they show of MH XX for Switch?
I mean Capcom released MH4 teaser when they showed off MH 3g...
It didn't.

Apparently people like ignoring multiple warnings from mods.
People got tired of playing it in 240p with awful controls and wanted to play it on the Switch.
Have about 200 hours of Generations and for some reason never dared to experiment this. How's it like?
Wasn't that less of a leak of the conference and more peaking behind the curtain at the European press event for the Switch? They only got the titles of what was present there correct, with no mention of the titles that were at the conference, like Fire Emblem Warriors and Xenoblade 2.
