Capcom Is Bringing Monster Hunter XX to the Switch

If they don't reveal a Western version before this launches, this'll be my first Japanese purchase on my Switch. I can't wait!

Well, we ALL know Capcom is putting Monster Hunter on the Switch, even in what is was said from Capcom themselves earlier today (mistranslated or not)

Perhaps this would be a better determining factor for Capcom's role on the Switch than USF2?

Hope for a western release announcement at E3 = )

Time for the switch to be a multi million seller in Japan.

Can't wait, hopefully they announce this and many other games at E3

Not my cup of tea. Tried the Wii U one and wasn't a fan.

@ieatdragonz Really tho, I think it's going to explode after this comes out there!

Nintendo better double production again. Maybe the Switch may do Wii numbers indeed!

@ieatdragonz Not until Nintendo can ship units

@gatorboi352 This will sell millions of extra Switches, which ultimately means more third party support for you to choose from, so it's a win win!

Fingers crossed for a worldwide release, make it happen Capcom!!

Well, frankly I hope this is a sign of more games that have been portable for their recent entries making their way back to consoles via Switch.

@BinaryFragger It's almost like people react differently to different situations! Jokes aside, I get that people responded hastily and are eating their words, but this is still good news.

I do beleive they should do a dual release with one of the 3DS versions as a bit of fairness considering that the Japanese versions (I believe) were formatted for the old handheld. I am excited for it though.

Not a fan of the series myself, but this is great news for the Switch, especially in Japan...

I'd really like to get it, but I'm not gonna play a game where I can't understand anything I'm reading. Gonna pass, unless they release a Western version, which I would buy immediately.

I never got a circle pad pro for my 3ds, so the monster hunter games always felt awquard to control. I will definitely be picking this up assuming it comes to the west.

Amazing! I'll be getting this for sure.

In the US the Switch is selling faster than Wii did in the same period and that was released at Xmas time.With several big hitters on the way and now the announcement of this for Japan and more to come,the Xmas sales are going to enormous.I'd say 10 million sold by the end of the year is being conservative.

I love how Capcom announces this game a day after people were crapping on them for "supposedly" basing their Switch support on the success/failure of USF2.

The timing is hilarious.

I'm getting it. This is what i've been waiting for, and why I bought a Switch aside from Zelda!

Well, there goes the neighborhood. This guarantees success in Japan. And I know I'm stoked as all can be. Great news for everybody.

Western release is all but confirmed. Considering the dev time bringing it to Switch, there's no reason to not localize it. I'm pretty sure they had some done already for the 3DS version.

This is definitely gonna make it hard to find a Switch now.

A Monster Hunter game has been announced for the switch, given how popular the Monster Hunter series and the Switch is going right now, Capcom will be seeing this.

Localise this worldwide asap Capcom, so you'll soon be seeing this.

@yasin88 hmmm, yeah I'll wait and see on that theory.

@Nintendoforlife Dont worry there's units coming, my uncle at Nintendo told me! I am not a mechanical corporate machine bzzt Reggie.exe is failing.

I honestly truly believe even with more supply the sales in Japan would not be much increased. Zelda's doing fine there but remember that Zelda's nowhere near as popular in Japan than here.

But yeah Nintendo step up your game in America I got like four friends lined up to buy your console now just give us the consoles.

Of course it could still happen, that is the rumors about MH5 on PS4, but I think the Sony fans will be feeling a little worried right about now.

Oh heck yeah day one purchase!!!

Just hope my 3DS Generations save will "double cross" over to the Switch version when it arrives!

Looks like I'll be double dipping. Can't wait to play HD Monster Hunter!

I'll get the NA version, whenever that happens. Hard to tell when since Stories is heading our way as well.

@gatorboi352
Have you seen how well the Monster Hunter games have sold in Japan??

Yeah I will definitely get this.

Alright, I've been waiting for this news! Will be picking up on day one, once it inevitably gets localized.

Portable Monster Hunter without "the claw" and no add-on? YESSSS.

@gatorboi352
What ?!
Don't like this good news ?
Want to see Nintendo completely Doomed ?!
Gosh....

Well, finally a reason to snag a Switch eventually...

@Captain_Toad
Oh, should we use the Miyamoto & Iwata Meme about "It's Printing Money !!" again ? XD

Not a fan of these games, but I still can't wait to see what it looks like. Capcom did an incredible job with the graphics on the 3DS and even the Wii, hopefully they do the Switch justice.

Well E3 just got more exciting.

@KirbyTheVampire
Actually Japanese language and text not so hard as we thought. There are some Basic Japanese words for All games from "Hajimekara" that means "New Game" or "Tsusukeru" or "Continue", "Hai & iie" for "Yes & No", some Basic Katakana words for describing foerign names in Japan, some Kanji letters (Chinese words) for intermediate until expert.

Do you have any interest to getting know about Japanese language ? If you a Die hard of Anime fans, i'm sure your ears used to listen some Japanese words like "Ike !!!" or "Let's Go !!!" , " "Sonna...!!!" or "It can't be / Impossible...!!!", "Mochiron !" or "Of course !", " Damare !" or "Silence / Shut Up !", etc.

I've never been that interested in the Monster Hunter series, but I can't deny that this is very, very good news for both Nintendo and the Switch. MH sells like crazy in Japan so this is pretty much a guaranteed success over there. Here's to hoping Nintendo can catch up with the demand! It'll be interesting to see how many units are shifted when this is released.

Nope don't believe it. It's rerelease. Remember we hate Capcom.

If they bump it up to 60 FPS and significantly improve the graphics on the Switch version I might consider it over the 3DS version and stomach paying for the online (whatever that is). I enjoy Monster Hunter, but the graphics on the 3DS are super dated.

If they're not going to use the opportunity to make MHXX beautiful and just port it with better textures or some lazy baloney like that I'll stick to the 3DS version.

We never got double cross in the west right? I would prefer monster hunter 5 but I'll go for double cross on switch if it looks good and is physical

Welp, Nintendo has officially won Japan.

@DarkKirby I doubt it'll look massively better. MHXX underperformed in Japan, and they want to see more of a return on their investment.

Thankfully, if this sells beautifully on the Switch, you can be sure we'll be seeing future MH games on this platform as well.

Either way, I'll be glad to play the game with proper analog sticks and optional TV mode.

@gatorboi352 ok. no one cares

@RyanSilberman my thoughts exactly. That headline earlier. Ugh....so dumb. No offense Damo. But that was lamo.

Monster Hunter HD portable and Splatoon portable? The Switch is going to be sold out until next year in Japan at this rate. I can't wait for the madness to begin.
And I hope Capcom announces the localization at E3. Meltdowns in other sites will be fun!

This is a bit of good news but it is a bit surprising that capcom rather then Nintendo announce the first port of a 3ds game to the switch

Never jumped into Generations, frankly because I didn't have the time for it as I dedicated a lot of it to MH4U. This go around, I'll make the purchase IF they decide to go west with it.It shouldn't be a problem since it's already translated and porting it shouldn't be much of a problem at all.

Awesome news! Hopefully it has some english text like Disgaea's Japanese version. I would love to get back into MH, but got tired of the tiny 3ds screens. Believe it or not this is one of the only games my mum ever got into and got good at, she'll be happy too~

Bought Zelda for Wii U instead buying Switch for playing BOTW.
I'm waiting for Switch bundle with game for price of a Switch or Fire Emblem game for it or MONSTER HUNTER game. Which ever comes first - im in, so your move N.
In the meantime.. im fine with my backlog of games for Wii U and 3DS

Remix, hmm they need to release a new version made for switch. This was the least selling MH game yet, I am sure a new one will come to switch eventually. Fun games though

Well Ker-ching!

I'm fairly certain that localization was in the works shortly after the game launched in Japan for the 3DS, and actually there should be less to translate since we already have X/Gen in the US. If they don't do a global launch (and the 3DS version at the same time for those that want it) I'll be sorely disappointed. Me personally, a Switch version was exactly what I was hoping for.

Good news!

The first Nintendo Switch god awakens ...
Monster hunter XX got confirmed for the Nintendo Switch

This is just the beginning

THANK GOD

My heart can't take this amazing news.

Im very happy of this news. Day one for me. Fan of Monster Hunter series.

I bet this is their way of testing Monster Hunter on Switch before they decided to make a new one from ground up for Switch. So please by the game guys.

Aaaaaaaaa what a wake up!! Please Capcom take this to the west also!! Can't wait for translate to come!!

HALLELUJAH!!! This is fantastic news.

I'm hoping when the Western release is announced, players will be able to port their 3DS MHGen save file to the Switch. I'm assuming that is where the linked Nintendo account and online features of the Switch come into play.

Hope it gets a western release. I would definitely pick it up once I get a Switch.

And to all the haters out there... Switch is doomed! Now it's official... but only if they release Doom for it!

This is excellent news. Capcom and Nintendo clearly have a good relationship so this must've been a no brainer.

Can't wait to see the visuals and the multiplayer!

This is probably a 2018 game for us, possibly a Japanese release this year.

However, two teams make Monster Hunter, and the Cross games were never the main one. Monster Hunter 4 released in 2013, with the ultimate version coming a year later. The team has been making Monster Hunter 5 since then — almost definitely for 3DS to start, but we will almost definitely see a Switch version and a closer to worldwide release now. We'll probably hear about it in 2018, and it'll be out around spring 2019.

@Anti-Matter 'shimatta'! Always an anime fave haha. Of course there's 'yare yare' (a phrase made even better by Jojo) and the classic 'naniiiiii' with extended i. Probs won't pop up in MonHun though!

But yeah, I can't see this not being announced in the West (probs E3). Definitely getting 2 in my household!

Great for the Switch in Japan, I imagine it do will amazing!! But the rest of world won't give a toss as usual lol

THIS IS THE ANNOUNCEMENT I WAS WAITING FOR! Finally, I can play monster hunter on the big screen again, with FULL analogue sticks!

@SwitchVogel Iv'e bought several. Ive hated region locking with a venemous passion, it feels good to finally be able to do this on a Nintendo console.

Omg please make this a worldwide launch!!! If it's not announced for US release I may just download the Japanese version though, it'll be a bit frustrating figuring out materials and such but I want...

Japanese people are going to have to start importing the switch from overseas just to own them when this hits.

This is awesome news. Switch is going to have a good 2018 too, at this rate.

I have a hard on hearing this news!

Shouldn't they be calling it 'XXX - Triple Cross'? Seeing how it'll be an upgraded version of XX, which was an upgrade of X?

Seriously though, this is pretty much the biggest thing any dev could announce for Japan, save Pokémon (which will inevitably come). Coupled with MK8D and Splatoon 2, Switch will be sold out for the rest of the year in Japan.

Obviously his daughter had a massive tantrum last night before bed for Monster Hunter on her switch!!

Blimey! How many Switch do they want to sell? This is going to be rocket fuel in Japan.

I'm buying it. But not the Japanese version probably, I'll want to understand it.

Western version now please!

I knew it... and I disliked this idea from the beginning, when they announced XX. Because, of course, the "world" will only get the Switch version if it ever receives this game. Thanks a lot -_- (especially after seeing the price of imported XXs)
Next, Level-5: we're so late in their 3DS games schedule that we'll get them as Switch exclusives. (like InaEle3 before)

@MilitiaMan In Japan, it can be a test. Outside, it won't be because we will be FORCED to either buy the Switch game or skip MonHunXX.

@DonSerrot Do you really believe they would jeopardize the Switch version sales in our countries ? (with the large difference in prices between the two machines games, the Switch game will be the priority)

@DarkKirby It's not like you will be given the choice between a 35€ and a 60€ releases for the same content if XX ever gets out of Japan.

@Rei They had no problem with a 3DS/Wii U release for MH 3U so I don't see why they would have a problem doing a 3DS/Switch version now.

This makes the Switch all the more tempting for me, but I'm not gonna grab a console just for an expanded version of a game that I've already played.

Edit: This might have been a system seller for me if I hadn't already put many hours into Generations. Plus I'm feeling fatigued with this series. If they release the 3DS version in the West, then that would be an easy purchase for me.

@Rei Wow chill, not sure how you can be worried about saving money yet at the same time will buy the non grank and grank versions of the same game and not complain It can't stay on 3DS forever anyway, and for the sake of the franchise's wider success in the west this is the best move. It'll pay off for you later

YEEEEES!! MONSTER HUNTER ON SWITCH!!!!

Another time sink hole confirmed!! Japan productivity levels in 2017 projected to plummet to all time low.

@EverythingAmiibo Sorry, I wasn't angry or nervous, simply disappointed that I end up probably right.
I'm not worried about saving money. I don't understand why I should be forced to pay the same game for double the price (plus pay the next console and connection fees in case I want the multiplayer mode). About the fact I was about to pay the game twice anyway, it was because they "got me": X/Gen came out so late I thought it would be the last 3DS game (but it isn't). Else, I would have waited indeed.
I 'm not complaining about the change to the next platform, it's the obvious movement. I didn't ask for a series to stay on 3DS, i want to be able to play a 3DS game on a 3DS.
About the wider success: do people really believe that? This type of game is as unappealing to play on a TV, an Ipad-like screen or a 3DS, people won"t start to like it magically because it is shown on their TV: it doesn't change what the game is. To get a "larger audience", you'll have to wait for a new game made more "sexy" by adding/removing things to make the game easier to "digest".

@DonSerrot Well, last time I waited for a game to be localized after the console was "done", it ended up being sold on the new one, with a bigger price.

This is going to shift mountains of Switch's especially in Japan. We all knew this was coming. Monster Hunter is a license to print money. The only thing is it's another port. It would have been better to see an original title. Also, what's the bets that they don't take advantage of the extra power of the Switch. Like how Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Wii U basically looked like the Wii version.

Wow, the timing of this announcement is so crazy. I have been telling my wife for months that if they confirm a Monster Hunter for the Switch I will buy a switch. Then LITERALLY two days ago I was like "Meh, I have the money to build a new gaming PC, let's order the parts" Now I won't be affording a switch until winter (I work in tourism and there is very little work here in Summer)

Great news!

@Anti-Matter

Japanese version sometimes has an English subtitles option anyway tbf lol. I can understand some basic Japanese and I can also read some simplified Chinese characters. But trying to read a whole story/menu in Japanese (obviously only some characters are the same as Chinese) would not be easy at all lol.

This. This is good news.

I am happy.

I could never get into monster hunter tried on the wii u and just didn't work for me. I love capcom more for the resident evil titles.

I said before that i was not gonna get another monster hunter game unless its on the switch. now im happy. ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Monster Hunter on Switch! That's it. All I need!

Gonna have a new Fire Emblem and a new Monster Hunter and a new Xenoblade to play on Switch. I may quit my job and become a hermit

Never played it, or even seen a video lol given how much people are flipping their wigs over this news I should probably investigate

Now that's some decent news !! Pray to Jesus the localization process doesn't take ages this time around

Called it.

Nice to read this after the meltdown yesterday.

@BinaryFragger yeah, yesterday saw quite a hilarious drama despite the mistranslation mitigated even by the CONTEXT in the rest of the article, which I suppose not many bothered to read all the way down to. Who would estimate a console's general viability based on classic re-releases even in theory? The whole DS talk only went to confirm that USF2 was released in an attempt to quickly cater to Switch's perks (instant local multiplayer anywhere and motion controls); naturally Capcom is eager to see and assess the results.

Monhun was a given indeed - Japan loves the series and gaming on the go. Between this and Splatoon 2, Japanese Amazon better hold on to its butt again.

@KIRO
Couple videos of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Wii U

Capcom should do a simultaneous worldwide release. They have the resources to do it.

In North America, they could even release the 3ds and Switch version simultaneously, for those that want to play it on a 2ds XL.

@JaxonH ah thanks !!

I guess there won't be a point in getting Generations on 3DS if this is an updated re-release with yet more content? While I've yet to properly play the MH4U I have, I'll be on the lookout for this, and I don't doubt a Western release in this case. Although if Switch gets one, localizing the 3DS MHXX would seem that much more unlikely.

@Rei
You better wait until 27 May 2017 for trailer of Monster Hunter XX Switch version from Capcom.
I'm sure the Switch version will be Completely Full HD Rendering in 1080p, completely different with 3DS version, from Dual screen become Single screen. Lego City Undercover Switch version is the prove from Dual Screen Wii U gamepad became Single screen for Multi released consoles.
And... nobody force you to double purchase or something.

Not sure about this, I was hoping for an original title exclusive for Switch not a remixed version but lets see

@techdude
Better Capcom add Multi languages Option including both English texts and voices, so any version that we buy will have English language inside.

@starman292
Of course I will not try to read a Whole Japanese texts from Japanese games. Some of Japanese games that I still understand the gameplay despite I still don't really understand some letters or don't really care what it said like Dance Dance Revolution series on PS1 / PS2, K-1 series PS2, Kurikin Nano Island Story NDS, Custom Battler Bomberman NDS, Minna no series NDS, etc.

@NicolausCamp I doubt that since monster Hunter sold way more copies on a Nintendo system

I picked up Monster Hunter with a New 3DS a couple of years back and didn't really like it. Perhaps I didn't give it enough of a chance.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE lol once again shows how smart you are.it will sell some more all over the world.besides when Pokemon stars get announced its over.besides Nintendo is back lol just accept it lol

A new game would have been better but damn, Nintendo could sell one million Switches in one day when this comes out in Japan.

I'd have MUCH preferred MH5, but I am totally down for this. I'm glad I've not played Double Cross/Generations Ultimate on 3DS now. I just hope we don't have to wait too long. I mean, most of the dialogue has already been translated...

Thats it; Switch is a juggernut.

you would have to think it would make it west but then it is Capcom. Hell Nintendo should pay to port it over. Keep us busy till we get real MH game for switch

Major system seller! Nintendo will need to increase production!

I got the one for the Wii U as my free game with Mario Kart 8 when they were doing that offer after hearing all the positive things about it.

I'll be honest, I played it about 3/4 times but just could not get into it whatsoever.

Glad to hear the Switch is getting it though as I know how much people love it, and I know that it'll be a system seller for a lot of people

@SwitchVogel Switch + 3DS in early 2018 in the West, a la 3U's multi-release.
Calling it now.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Actually, it was just an upscaled version of the 3DS one (as there was a year's release difference in Japan)-- Tri still has several particle effects and even a higher framerate (3U on Wii U ran only at about 40 something FPS because Capcom wanted consistent 1080p).

HD PORTABLE MONSTER HUNTER and a CONSOLE VERSION in the same game?!?!zoidbergs out WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP

MONSTER HUNTER not big fan of mh i prefer toukiden it flows better and god eater i rather see god eater on switch before mh.

mh to me is way overtly complex sometimes kiss method does works wonders.

@OorWullie I wouldn't be surprised if they have already past the 4 million mark by now and with Mario coming the Switch will get even more hype and they have good games to buy at CHRISTmas not just Mario.

I love the Monster Hunter games on 3DS so you bet I'm going to get this on Switch as well.

I'm definitely going to buy this, western release or not

And here's the remainder of Capcom's Switch support.

@RyanSilberman
Even a port of the PS2 version of Resident Evil 4 with the PS button symbols shown in the game would be better.

Wasn't Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate confirmed for Western release after it was announced for the Wii U?

@gatorboi352 Same here. Tried a few 3DS ones too and never liked it.

Is this one more accessible than 3 and 4? I'm not looking for easier, just something that didn't make me want to fall asleep within the first 3 hours. Worse than any zelda starter area, that's for sure.

It is very likely that the Switch will get an entry in the Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest, and Yokai Watch franchises (aka the biggest gaming franchises in Japan) all by the end of 2018.

Wow.

For the first time I might actually buy this when it launches. Cool news

I never did play Monster Hunter on my Wii, although I know it was crazy-popular. I'm not sure if it's my kind of game, but if they come out with a Switch version I very well might give it a try for the first time.

Just an advice for anyone new to the series:
If you try the game, you will not like it at first. It takes a few hours until one sees what is so great about it. That is especially true if you are playing only singleplayer.

But if you stick to it, you will find it to be an really great and addicting game.

Aaaand, just like that, the 3DS is over.

Good luck to anyone hoping to get a Switch before 2019!

(Actually I'm sad about the 3DS being over though, having just gotten back into it with FINALLY getting to Planet Robobot!)

@Pigeon They're saving that for when MH joins the IPs in Project X Zone 3.

Just curious. Is the gameplay for this better than the older ones? I have Freedom Unite on Vita and can't really get into it due to the controls. I may go back and try again. Again I know Freedom Unite is an older game. Never tried any others based on that one.

Two separate reactions-one for the Switch and one for me.

This is great news for the switch. They had better have an ample supply in Japan. When I went there, it was a huge phenomenon, and I doubt the fervor has went down much.

Which leads to me. I never tried the game. My friend there described it as being not exactly newcomer friendly. Extremely tedious is what I got from it, as well as needing to have a dedicated party to play with. That's bacd news for a single player gamer like me. I have been investing in games for the Switch, so I want to give it a try, but I'm hoping that it will be a bit more...interesting in the beginning, and I'm hoping for the ability to play some as a like wolf.

If. It perhaps I'll be slumming here looking for partners,lol.

We all knew Monster Hunter was coming to Switch, but this is a little sooner than expected. Don't think I could handle Japanese text, so I'll wait for the localization. But at this point, unless they have Monster Hunter 5 near completion, I'd be really surprised if they didn't localize this one in the west. It's basically the same move as putting MH3U on the Wii U. The Monster Hunter fan base in the west is dedicated and growing.

@ieatdragonz They need the stock first as it's basically always sold out. Heck the Japanese My Nintendo store sold out of their shipment in 6 minutes... I was just super lucky to be walking into an electronics store when they put the sign up stating Switches were available! haha Super happy with Blue/Red.

@Rumncoke25 Single player plays fine. The game's strength may be fun with a group of friends, but the single player campaign is a full game in itself (technically a separate campaign than the multiplayer campaign, but you can ALSO play the multiplayer campaign single player...)

It is NOT newcomer friendly. It's, maybe not as brutal as a Souls game....but...only a little less. Basically it's a series of boss battles against bosses that deal huge damage, take huge damage, and you generally always have the feeling you're not the hunter, you're the hunted. It's tedious in an MMO sense that you're grinding the same monsters again and again to get drops and rare drops. But not tedious in that it's really an action game, so you're battling the creatures in real time. (or trying to run from them ) Crafting is critical. You hunt so you can craft so you can hunt some more so you can craft some more.

There are demos, and they're worth trying if you haven't, but they also don't give you a feel for the game loop. They just plop you in a random battle against a semi-tough monster with some pre-made gear. It tells you how combat plays (it's clunky because it's supposed to be clunky because you're wearing piles of awkward armor and gigantic weapons) but it dosen't give you a feel for the game. if you're curious you should be able to get MH4 cheap by now. It's a good game worth playing the campaign. I really only play them single player but I skipped X. Very likely might get XX if it comes westward on Switch. Though I hate to abuse my Joycons like that. The game is....intense....

Cool for Japanese sales! I hope it's a prelude to a new Monster Hunter built on a different engine though...

@Pigeon gigady gigady!
Jokes aside, the Japanese don't really use the X or XXX in their porn industry. I once made the joke and my Japanese friends and they didn't get it.
They could have renamed it for the west as Monster Hunter General Generational Generations. lol

@pandarino I completely agree, if you think about it, Monster Hunter XX is still technically running off the MH Tri engine from Wii (mind you a heavily altered version), so yeah would be AWESOME to see a completely new engine for Switch.

@Anti-Matter You see, what did I tell you. Nothing to worry about. MH is here and it's going to be awesome. Still looking forward to MH5 in the future though.

So Japan is closed for 2017? I feel bad for every employer and teacher over there. No work is getting done.

@CroRock I would love to see Doom on Switch, but is Id Tech 6 scalable?

Sweet. If I only could find more time to play games... I might get this. Loved Moster Hunter on the 3DS.

@cloud36426
Your better off with Toukiden 2 on vita, it's far better than unite

If we get a western release date for this at E3, I might just die from the hype. I was worried that XX would come to the west but only as a 3DS game. I'm ready to move fully onto the Switch!

@Kirgo
Thank you I might give this game a shot.

Not a fan of MH myself, but this is great news and the game will definitely drive quite a few hardware sales, especially in Japan.

@Anti-Matter Of course, nobody forced me to buy twice XX. But they will say: either buy a Switch and Switch XX (or rather "Generations² ") or you won't get the localization.

Also, apart from the shortcuts gameplay differences, I don't understand how the number of pixels will make the experience of playing different.
Oh, right, I would be able to play not more than 5minutes before my eyes go wet and I would be crying like a fountain at the 15th minute. (it sounds funny but it isn't, I have this problem with almost anything running on PS3+, and the problem started even sooner with a simple 128bits game named Sonic Adventures: almost any Sonic level was eye watery for me)

I'm waiting for a Monster Hunter 5 announcement. I'll probably pass on XX. I didn't like Generations that much.

Has anyone here played XX? how does it compare to Generations?

I wonder what will happen to the 3ds touchscreen shortcuts on the switch version.

@Rei
What are you crying about ?
Do you have a problem with 3DS graphics ?
And what are you expecting for ?

Show me the money!

I'm thinking there needs to be a fan petition to get Monster Hunters V through XIX localized for the West. The West is always missing out. First, we don't get Windows 9, and now we miss out on 15 Monster Hunter games? Not fair.

FINALLY.... THIS will be the reason I'm buying switch... not zelda... not mario... this... make an english version of this and hopefully a switch pokemon game... and I'll finally leave my n3ds and buy myself a switch

@Dodger
Windows 9 ? Monster Hunter V - XIX (5 until 19 ) ?
What are you talking about ??

Oh, is this the game they were hinting at earlier? I'm sure MH fans are pleased.

LMAO, Nintendoomed... smdh

@Anti-Matter yes. That's exactly it. Did you fail reading comprehension class?

@gatorboi352
Nope.
You failed reading actually !
Switch will take over the world, no matter how dislike you are.
You are such a Nintendo hater here !

@Anti-Matter What?! I never said I didn't find them good enough (though I think Generations "landscape" screen didn't look as good as MH4U's one)
You were the one who tried to sell me XX on Switch because of graphisms: "completely full HD rendering 1080pixels". To what I answered that I could not even physically stand to watch most things above PS2 's graphics (because it made me cry a lot, exactly like Sonic Adventures on Dreamcast a long time ago).

In other words, I see this release as potentially detrimental to the chances we might get US and EU localizations of the 3DS version. And I dislike that because I don't want to play this on Switch (well, I don't have the console anyway), I want to get it for my 3DS.

@Rei
Wait, are you a pixel lovers gamer ?
Why should cry for better graphics ?
Don't you like Simple HD graphics like on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or HD Remaster of FF X/X-2 or FF XII ?
And why you should compare with Sonic from Dreamcast ? I don't understand your logic.
To answer your issue, I also have 3DS but now it looks outdated on this year. I still like to play my 3DS but I wish I can play HD games on smaller screen. It does looks beautiful, sure I can play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on smaller screen all day long.

@Anti-Matter I'm not a pixel lover, I find the pixelated look on some 3DS CGI games pretty ugly (it's even worse on a larger screen sadly, since I broke my n3DS and could only buy a nXL). I like a lot the look of later 16bits sprite games though.

No, I don't especially like HD graphics on HD monitors, for the little time I can bare to watch them, I find that they look just like non-HD graphics (older 720x500something resolutions) looked on non-HD monitors. It's nothing more than a silly forced change of devices.

I used Sonic as an example (not a comparison) because Sonic Adv. was the first (and only game back then) where I could not stay in front of the monitor for more than 10minutes without literally crying (and I insist on the literally, since you seem to think I mean it figuratively)
Since you brought FF X "remaster" on the table (I find remasters absolutely stupid but that's not the point here), I was able to play the game just fine on PS2, when I wanted to play it again on my brother's newer console I couldn't simply because I started to have my eyes full of tears (and headaches) after only a few scenes and playing a few minutes.

I don't understand how the general 3DS games graphics look outdated this year in particular. It looked "outdated" already when it was released and I bought my first one only later despite that.
Hell, the N64 and PSX games looked mostly pretty bad at their time already (since 3DCGI games were new and the graphics weren't well mastered) and I still bought the machines and played on them. -_-

PS: I will say it again, I have absolutely nothing against the fact the game is released (again) on another console within a few months. My problem is only the big chance that they decide to release only this version outside of Japan, thus making non-japanese people the ones who get the "prejudice" (sorry, it's a word stronger than what I want) like always. There should either be both versions for us too or at least the original version.

@Rei
HD graphics are fine to watch.
It will not burn your eyes.
Try to like it.
Btw, try to watch Some Cartoonish HD graphics games such as Portal Knights PS4, Earthlock: Festival of Magic PS4, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch, LEGO CITY Undercover Switch. They are so Beautiful to watch.
Trust me, after 10 minutes you will enjoy to watch. Very different with PS2 graphics in SDTV.

@gatorboi352 When your buddy benches 350, and you can't, you don't say it's not your cup of tea, you just can't bench that much.

That's all I hear psychologically when I hear someone doesn't like monster hunter or souls games. Nothing personal though. lol

Is this still happening?
