Topic: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

With even more boring monster ports and crappier cutscenes.
EDIT: Actually no, you know what I'd be perfectly fine with? Monster Hunter World: Prowler Edition for the Switch. xp

Yeah I honestly hope they go for a completely new cast of monsters mixed together with the cast of World maybe. It'll be interesting to see how MH Switch considers World's improvements.

I felt the monsters have needed an overhaul for a while now. Even new monsters are predictable

New gameplay for MHXX on Switch. Starts at 2:00:00 mark

...Did Barioth actually get any new attacks in this game or was he just ported from 3U like every other returning monster in Gen? T.T

Monster Hunter XX for Nintendo Switch Gets New Screenshots Showing Demo
_{Capcom released a new batch of screenshots showing a demo of Monster Hunter XX Nintendo Switch Ver.}

You'll find the other screenshots at the link above.

According to Gaijinhunter both versions run at 30 fps.

IMO Barioth looks really wrong in the Snowy Mountains. I'm excited to see what the Frozen Seaway looks like though.

@Snaplocket So you'd rather devs just not say anything at all if they have nothing concrete to say? But then people would just create their own narratives based on that and freak out anyway. You said it yourself, anything at all sets off fans on the internet. There is no winning except for confirming announcements, but doing so without something to back it up can potentially backfire even worse later on if plans fall through.

Something like Nintendo's Prime 4 announcement is a risky move, is what I'm saying.

It's a tricky one. Maybe when a publisher says they have no plans to do something, they're really not planning to do it? Controversial, I know. I also would be very surprised if Capcom didn't localise MHXX - but it wouldn't be the first time they've skipped the West.

Anyway, it's Capcom. They could do anything. They let MHFU be broken on iOS for a year and a half before suddenly fixing it. They soft-launched a completely different MH - then axed it. Then they produce some garbage Mega Man ports that make Sega Forever's efforts look like works of art. They could very well not intend to bring MHXX to Switch in the West - but do it anyway. They're not being deliberately disingenuous - they're just being Capcom.

I still feel like they're just keeping quiet, but if they don't say anything after a month or so of the Japanese release...I'm just gonna get it. Especially after hearing about the Google Translate mobile app thing. lol

@Joeynator3000
Even better than the Translate app is the v3 English patch for the game on 3DS. Which I own. And with save data able to be swapped back and forth... if there was, say, an armor set with a material I'm not sure of and don't want to look up on https://mhxxx.kiranico.com/quest for the translation, it's as simple as transferring the save periodically so the 3DS version can be used for English reference. Naturally, if you're ever stuck just tag me in a message and I'll be glad to check the 3DS version for specifics.

But ya, that Kiranico link has all the Japanese/English translations provided by the team that did the MHXX fan translation. Language can be switched at the bottom of the page. Definitely bookmark it for future reference.

....Yeah the app seems easier to deal with, lol

I don't think they will localize XX. They seem too focused on Worlds at this moment to care, and it seems that Nintendo isn't interested right now either.

Thank goodness (no, thank Nintendo) for region free then.

Even if MHXX isn't localized, all is not lost. The game being very much playable as is given the nonexistent story and large focus on action, and a translation already in place on 3DS with save transfers between... I can't imagine a better scenario for playing a JP game.

MHXX will be the firstfruits of Switch regionfree.

@JaxonH Here's my problem with region free, the more people that just decide well I'll just import it the less like it will get localized. I don't want to play a game in Japanese even if I could skate by and still play it.

@Spoony_Tech
Not sure if it decreases likelihood of localization. I mean, Capcom won't know how many people imported or not, and most MH fans I imagine will buy the English version as well, if it comes. I know I will. Importing is just a tide me over until then (or a last resort, depending if they actually bring it). But ya, I doubt they're tracking imports, or even able to track such a thing.

If I go with the Japanese version, I doubt I'll get the English version. (especially if it's near World's release)

I think I'll just play the eventual Japanese demo rather than digitally import XX. It's not like there is a dearth of games on PS4 and Switch this year.

Mmmm, okay. You guys keep moping about not getting a quasi-international release date for XX, and I'll just be over yonder, spirit bombing fools with Rajang and squeeing over baby Teostras and Daoras.
