Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Giancarlothomaz Highly unlikely. Rise appears to have arisen out of a partnership with Nintendo (keep in mind, Capcom literally was able to request changes to the Switch hardware for this game).

It could someday hit other consoles in the distant future, but it's not going to be arriving on PS5/XSX.

@TheFrenchiestFry It doesn't feel believable that Demon's Souls PC was just an error, seems more likely calling it an error was just Sony covering themselves from more backlash over the "we believe in generations" lie.

@link3710 I think Horizon Forbidden West will come earlier than people expect (e.g. Spring 2021) and God of War (2018) sequel ends up being the big Sony console exclusive holiday 2021 title.

@Grumblevolcano I think porting it to PC will happen given how massive the Souls playerbase is on it compared to other consoles but considering it's the one small bit of Souls that Sony completely owns I can't imagine them being willing to port the game immediately. Maybe in like 2 or 3 years like Horizon given bringing the PC version alongside it could definitely take away the cred it has as the PS5's big killer launch title

@Giancarlothomaz
I dont think so. MH Rise will be Switch exclusive forever. They never port their MH games to other platforms beyond what they were designed for. Capcom said they never even considered MH World for Switch because it was designed for power consoles, and likewise, MH Rise will never even be considered for other platforms because it's designed for Switch.

Monster Hunter sells insane numbers on Nintendo platforms. And make no mistake- even though World sold 15 million, that was a one time fluke, AND it was across 3 platforms. The Ultimate version, Iceborn, only did 6 million which is basically in line with the 4-5 mil MHFU, MH4U and MHG sold, except it was on 3 platforms and they were on 1. AND it was mega high budget with marketing up the wazoo, AND it had the advantage of being sold as DLC for a lower price.

MH Rise will likely break records for highest selling MH on a single platform, and will probably even outsell Iceborn despite it releasing on 3 platforms. So it's a good thing you're not Capcom, because youd be making a foolish decision.

@TheFrenchiestFry I think Sony's already lost all credibility about PS5 exclusives actually being PS5 exclusive. Honestly have doubts about Ratchet & Clank, GT7, God of War (2018) sequel, etc. being PS5 exclusive but rather come to PS4 as well.

@Grumblevolcano I doubt Ratchet and God of War are going to come to PS4. Ratchet especially given the entire gimmick of that game seems to be purposely made around the PS5's fast loading capabilities. Cross gen games at least for launch window make sense because they're not going to straight up abandon PS4's massive install base for the forseeable future when there's still potential to make money there. Plus Miles and Sackboy are very much a BotW situation where the game releases on last and current gen systems just for those who aren't sure about jumping into next gen that quickly. Horizon Forbidden West is probably the last instance that this will happen.

@Giancarlothomaz

XSX, PS5, and PC will be getting the Monster Hunter World sequel in three or four years.

Monster Hunter Rise won't be ported to those platforms.

this is all the special Character that is garantee to return in Animal Crossing New Horizons, but sadly still no sign of Brewster(is he coming to Animal Crossing New Horizons?or Nintendo will reserve him for the next mainline Animal Crossing game on Switch sucessor?)

@Magician it seens that the you forgeted the RE4 situation, that was developed exclusively for Gamecube and PS2 owner complained about this and PS2 got his RE4 that he wanted so much, they same situation can apply now to Monster Hunter Rise, when Monster Hunter Rise was anounced as a exclusive game for Switch, a lot of people was not happy with this, and is not a simple amount of people complaining about this,but a subtantial that is very angry, they can't play Monster Hunter Rise in they PlayStation or Xbox.

@Giancarlothomaz

No, I did not forget RE4's GC exclusivity being lifted nine months after its release.

Why not point out the rest of the "Capcom Five" situation while you're at it?

@Giancarlothomaz
It's not gonna happen.

MH Tri on Wii was never ported despite many people wanting it.

MH3U on 3DS was never ported.

MH4U on 3DS was never ported.

MH Generations on 3DS was never ported.

MHGU on Switch was never ported.

MH World on PS4/X1/PC was never ported to Switch despite tons of people unhappy who wanted it.

MH Rise will never be ported. They dont care if people are unhappy. They dont care if people want it. The game will do 7 million copies and just like MH World, they're not even going to think about porting it. It's a game designed for Switch that will always be on Switch. 100% guaranteed. This isnt the GameCube era, and Resident Evil isnt Monster Hunter. Resident Evil ALWAYS gets ported. Monster Hunter NEVER gets ported cross-brand.

Eventually we'll get Resident Evil Revelations 3 on Switch, and that game will probably eventually be ported, but not Monster Hunter.

@Giancarlothomaz I have literally never seen a single negative reaction to Rise being Switch exclusive. People are used to this now considering the last 6 or 7 games outside world have appeared exclusively on Nintendo platforms. World was more multiplayer focused which is probably why it was developed for other systems but that was the absolute rare exception.

Also you lowkey forgot the Capcom Five crashed and burned almost immediately after RE4 and P.N.03 remained the only game that was a permanent GameCube exclusive under that deal due to the console's meddling installbase next to the PS2. The Switch does not have that problem at all.

@Magician i mentioned RE4 because it was more emblematic, i am aware of the others games of Capcom 5, but the release of RE4 have more impact the others games.

Nintendo you can't show something that imply obcene/inadequate things, there children who plays your games.

MH Rise exists because Sony paid Capcom to make MH World permanently PS4 exclusive in Japan.

@Giancarlothomaz That definitely wasn't intentional. Also yes of course Snake and Bayonetta appeal to children.

@Grumblevolcano I doubt Sony actually moneyhatted MH World. If that was the case it likely would've been exclusive worldwide instead of just in specific regions. It's probably because Xbox One has a terrible market share in Asian markets, especially Japan. Atlus did a similar thing with Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and how that was a PS3 console exclusive in Japan even though other regions got the 360 version

@Giancarlothomaz RE4 being ported to PS2 wasn't just a user response thing though. Shareholders and investors in the company were adamantly pressuring Capcom to make it a multiplatform title and Shinji Mikami tried everything to stop that from happening. He was even quoted in an interview saying he would "cut his own head off" if it were ported to platforms outside GameCube. The PS2 version was literally announced 2 months before the game even launched on GameCube and that's why it sold poorly on that platform compared to the PS2 version.

is just me or the same voice actor of Don Corneo in the remake of Final Fantasy 7 also voice Master Kohga?

@TheFrenchiestFry when Monster Hunter Rise was anounced, the oficial Twitter of the Monster Hunter franchise was filled of people complaining and angry about the game exclusivity to Switch, maybe they complaining have settle down.
