Thanks. It was kind of annoying in MH4U at least, since the tunic was only obtainable from one of the hardest high ranking online quests, and yet it still was just high rank equipment, so it was immediately rendered obsolete by G Ranking quests and equipment (In fact, I beat some G ranking monsters before finishing that quest...). At least the sword did have a G Rank version, so it wasn't immediately obsolete.
On the one hand, I love that the 3DS isn't going anywhere. However, I can't help but wish all these cool new games came to the Switch. Particularly this one - the larger screen can only benefit the gameplay.
Something like Hey! Pikmin and Ever Oasis might do better as a pocket-handheld game, while I can't see the average person carrying around a Switch in their oversized back pocket, because we're not in the mid-1990s.

Psyched! Lots of good stuff on 3ds between now and year's end.
Would be funny if it did better in the west than in Japan.
Fits nicely between Mario Rabbids and Odyssey.

Yeah. I would guess at this point Capcom isn't bringing the Amiibo over but that box art in the OP has Amiibo on it.
Are there going to keep support in and expect players to just import the Amiibos if they want them? Or will they do like Box Boy and let any Amiibo content be available through other means in the Western releases?

MHXX will come too, obviously.
Earlier than expected, sweet.
As I said before I'm surprised this even release in the West despite its weak performance in Japan. Totally day one for me.

Good date, I'm passing on Pokken so will have time for this 
Nice, sooner than expected. Hopefully same date for NA

Day uno.
This game was totally absent from E3.
Fucking Crapcom.

Its a turn-based battle and has a story.

Would it be ok for someone relatively new to Monster Hunter?

Absolutely

Certainly, but I wouldn't treat it as an entryway for hardcore Monster Hunting since this a complete departure from the traditional games. If you want to like the monsters, it's great though.

The focus was Monster Hunter World, I really don't blame them.
Anime is pretty bad and meant for kids. If you're 7 years old you might like it.

I really wanna get this but I feel like it might be too shallow since it's aimed at kids. Any impressions on the combat system?
The European boxart suggests that they removed support for amiibos.

Still baffled and ultra salty that they decide to localize this instead of XX. And it will probably bomb...

Capcom didn't want to localize that game that (relatively) bombed in Japan, while Nintendo saw a cool RPG appealing for several different audiences.
They probably thought like everyone that Capcom would bring XX to the West...
They're sub-$15 on Amazon if ya want them, even from the third-party sellers.
Hope they didn't remove support completely...
or my imported Amiibos will be boxed forever
Capcom is bringing MH Stories to Europe, is it NoA localising and publishing it in North America?
So would probably XX.

The boxart implies it's been removed completely as there's no amiibo logo in the top right corner.
I'd rather have this cute spin-off right now and the first real Switch MH later. And World on PS4.

Still far less than stories (imo) for an inferior cost.

You are completely out of touch.

Is the turn base system and story any good or is just a good looking game based on a big franchise with a generic combat and boring story like WoFF?

The story of the anime is really nice. It's somewhat about the conflicts between riders (people who care about the monsters) and hunters. Who is right and who is wrong?
I'm excited because it's an open world game and you can tame monsters and fight with them. It's a huge fan service really.

Me neither.
such an interesting strategy to expand to "new" audience when at the same time giving a big middle finger to the one that made you live for the past 5 years.
Well, enough said about that. I still have to make my mind wether or not I buy it on the jap e shop.
edit : and this is off topic, sorry
Yes, NOA is localizing and publishing in NA. Surprised NOE isn't for PAL, are you sure?
Slim chance of that. Generations did 900k in the west and a western Switch release would likely be a huge seller plus those potential 900k 3DS owners upgrading.
NA boxart still has the amiibo logo fwiw.

There's a big update coming out in Japan in the next few months.
Nintendo/Capcom better do their job right. I don't want to suffer no moah.

Shouldn't the OP be updated with the release date and revised boxart (amiibo logo removed)? This thread is from April
Or open a new thread... New news, new thread, right? Not sure what's the best way to proceed now, but not everyone reads every post so I can imagine some people coming in here and not realizing this thread is old and the real news is that we have an actual release date now.
