Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

After spending a bit of time on the MHR demo I had a feeling someone out there would try a MH and MK "fusion". I absolutely loved it, thanks for posting it JaxonH.

@Taceus
I love how they use the 4 clicks of their weapon being sharpened as the countdown timer lol.

Toward the end, the guy in the lead started dropping small bombs from his Palamute to try to sabotage the other riders 😂

@JaxonH
IKR, clever hunters. Admittedly, I was confused what the explosions were so thanks for clearing that up. I'm excited to see what else the MH community will come up with. March can't come fast enough.

Oooh, special edition Switch for Mario ... That was a bit surprising now!

I've been playing Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn recently, and it's so good it just makes me yearn for Nintendo to make a Yarn game for pretty much every IP they have - Mario, DK, Smash, ok maybe not Metroid, but hot-darn, why isn't there a yarn game on Switch?

@gcunit Does Yoshi's Crafted World count?

@timleon Maybe but Yoshi's Woolly World definitely does.

@timleon No. It ain't yarn. And Yoshi's Woolly World ain't on Switch.

@BruceCM i wonder if Nintendo is gonna release a themed Switch/Switch Lite Legend of Zelda or Metroid edition, considering 2021 is the 35th anniversary of both franchise.

Mario Edition Switch is.... it's fine. I guess. Reminds me of the all red Wii back in its heyday. But it's just red Mario themed. Like, eh. It's fine.

Where's my awesome Monster Hunter edition Switch? That's what I wanna know. Don't care about red Mario systems right now.

Heh, they'll do a special Lite for that, just to irritate you ....? Still a bit of time for them to reveal something for it

As if a special edition Lite would irritate anyone!

@Giancarlothomaz A Zelda-themed Switch sounds very likely. Not sure about a Metroid edition though. There isn't any Metroid games on the Switch (unless you count Metroid and Super Metroid on NSO) and it's not quite as popular as stuff like Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and Animal Crossing. Plus we have no clue what's currently going on with Metroid Prime 4 (besides restarting development), so there's that too.

I don't think we'll be getting a special edition MH switch now. At least, not right away. Maybe when the inevitable DLC expansion happens (since I think, as with Pokemon, expansions are taking the place of re-releases). But I don't see Nintendo launching a Mario special edition Switch so close to a MH-themed one.

@Ralizah
I've lost hope for a western MH themed Switch. But I'm counting on Japan still getting one.

Even MHXX got one, and that was a 3DS port. There's also never been a portable MH on Nintendo that didnt get special edition hardware for its release.

I think its foolish to not release a MH themed Switch in the west. But, if they don't even release one in Japan, they've just downright lost their minds.

@BruceCM @Eel
I'm 100% on board with a special edition Lite. In fact I'd almost prefer it, just to have a Dragon Quest Switch and Monster Hunter Switch Lite.

Anything is welcome at this point. Even a limited edition pro controller. Just give us something... anything.

I obviously have no idea what they're planning! Just if they don't want to do 2 specials for the full Switch so close together, that seems like a possibility .... If they usually do have something for MH games, it seems likely they'd want it for the upcoming one even more

3 of the 4 past MH limited edition consoles were for more powerful hardware revisions (the one which wasn't was the MHXX Switch that released in the Switch's launch year):

• MH4U New 3DS XL
• MHG New 3DS XL
• MHW PS4 Pro

Pretty sure MH Rise limited edition console will be for the new Switch revision of which they aren't going to announce a limited edition console of something that Nintendo themselves haven't announced yet.

Zelda I think will also be a new Switch revision limited edition console, probably based on BotW 2.

@Grumblevolcano
It’s possible, for sure.

But if the revision doesn’t come until fall, I don’t think that would hold them back from releasing one at launch.

After all, you left off all the MH3U 3DS in Japan which were not for new hardware. They just tend to release limited editions on whatever’s out at the time. If new hardware coincides, they release on new hardware. If not, they release on whatever already exists.

@MarioLover92 i considering for the Metroid themed Switch edition, the rumored 2D Metroid game that continues the Metroid Fusion history.
