Nah Monster Hunter Frontier.

But... why would you ignore the 3DS?

Apparently MHXX Director said MHXX for Switch is Switch's 'first' Monster Hunter title in the latest Nintendo Dream magazine.
Shocking news, Capcom are making more MH games for a portable system. Wow. Amazing.
I'm still befuddled Okami on Switch ain't a thing being revealed in TGS yet, literally everyone talking thinks it's absurd.
That would be funny considering many were convinced ps4 would get that instead of true mhNah Monster Hunter Frontier.

Wasn't sure where to put this but seemed relevant to this Capcom discussion and TGS.

For anyone curious, David Gibson is an analyst and would often live tweet Nintendo investor meetings and Q&As before a policy change at the company he works for.
But yeah, I would think this to be the case too with how Japan has responded to the Switch, and reading (lurking) Media Create threads a lot. General software sales being very good/great for most titles. Just makes it that more baffling at Capcom's support despite their knowledge with how well the reach Switch has in grabbing people's interest.

Capcom CEO at #TGS2017 says for some Switch users the Switch is their first console
You think they'd be more excited to support what would probably be the first hardware in a decade to bring new users into the market en masse.
True, my point was more along the lines of people saying that would be the only onePS4 did get Monster Hunter Frontier, though.
Speaking of which it wouldn't sirprise me if Switch also got Frontier Z now that DQX and PSO2 are making the jump.True, my point was more along the lines of people saying that would be the only one

Ace Attorney 6 (Spirit of Justice) just released on iOS. - Source
I bet AA7 will have a simultaneous release on Switch and mobile.
See I don't think Capcom wants to go down the path of localizing 2 very similar products. I think they want to keep the West ecosystem transitioned to the playstation, xbox, PC ecosystems and not partition the userbase over multiple games. If World is successful why exactly would they want to concurrently run 2 products that split the userbase and require owning new hardware?
With the way Capcom has planned for the Switch and the other systems it tells me they don't plan on actually treating the system as a priority. And with XX to me it says they really aren't interested in keeping the Nintendo ecosystem engaged in Monster Hunter. We'll see but I think a lot of people are making an assumption that because the Switch is successful that means Capcom will have both the resources and will to run competing MH brands.
To me they already have shown that they don't.
I don't think XX was just about time management. I think Capcom wants MH players in the West to play on the ecosystems they have established for World. I don't think this is about whether the Switch does well. And I think that's also why the game is called Monster Hunter World and not MH5.

Again I dont know why you guys have faith in Capcom localizing a Switch game. Why wouldn't you localize the HD port if you wanted to habe more MH switch games in the West? Is this how you inspire a userbase? I feel like before we knew MHXX wouldn't be localized what yall were saying had some base. But now? Feels more like you just have blind faith Capcom will do the right thing. Since when has Capcom earned that benefit of the doubt? Was it when they didn't localize a half localized game?
Who said it's changing course completely though? If Gen 5 Switch exists it's because Capcom was hedging their bets long before now. If there's any course change it's because of Switch's global success, and that's also supposing there were no longer term Switch localization plans in the first place.It's one thing to not port over easy rom titles and say w/e on some missed sales. It's another thing entirely to change course with your second biggest franchise that you are trying to transition into a bigger western entity.
Again, do you think they will want to localize what will essentially be 2 series of the same franchise that (for all intents and purposes are the same game honestly) will cause question about the future iterations of the franchise? I don't frankly. Capcom said they don't want anything distracting from World. As soon as they release a Switch Monster Hunter people now know that they can get monster hunter outside the "World" ecosystem. I don't see why they would abandon this thought process.
Especially since XX is far less of a threat to any future MHW branded titles than whatever the Switch ends up getting. You guys say the Switch is selling well and that changes everything. I don't think Capcom cares about that more than making the Western userbase know you go to these ecosystems to get MH from now on.
Monster Hunter World preorders were freakingly high yesterday!
At this point, I honestly can't tell if this is satire or serious.* Will now wait for the true Monster Hunter 5, not this "Westernized" and more casual + narrative heavy nonsense
Are you talking about a specific shop/chain or in general? I checked COMG yesterday to see if the game managed to chart already but it seems that they haven't opened pre orders yet.
In general, visited Yodobashi Kyoto. Collectors Edition and PS4 Bundle is are not even available already.
True, my point was more along the lines of people saying that would be the only one
Those are the collector's items though, so you'd expect those to sell out fast regardless of popular demand.In general, visited Yodobashi Kyoto. Collectors Edition and PS4 Bundle is are not even available already.
so what are we expecting FE Warriors to sell first week anyway?
Edge_Maverick noticed that Square Enix put out their annual report. I'll probably put up quite a few threads as I get through this.
In this section they mention:
- Final Fantasy XV was a blockbuster success
- Tomb Raider and Deus Ex were major critical hits and show the company can make great games
- Nier was way above expectations and they'll be working to build it into a major franchise going forward
These were all fairly obvious, but I thought people would be most interested in point 3.

Cross posting if Nirolak doesn't mind. Wanted to highlight a successful Japanese publisher. Hopefully it quells some of the concern about the market and publishers dissappearing.

It's funny because every game SE listed here finds greater success oversea. Especially FFXV, which did terribly in Japan while all the other regions saved the day.
FFXV did 1.1m in Japan. Even with discounts, it's far from being a terrible number. Because otherwise, we can call Yokai Watch 3 a bomba.
SE is not one of the publishers one would generally consider in danger of disappearing.

....am I missing something? YW3 was definitely a weak performance
That's like half what FFXIII did and YW3 definitely underperformed.

Also, all of those were games primarily floated by not-Japan, which is sometimes a different discussion to the angle discussed here.
A mainline FF bomba binning its way to 1.1m (and it aint even that high is it?) not a terrible number? Heard it all now
FFXV takes easily the crown for last year's bigger bomb from YW3 only from the fact it collapsed at price almost immediately.That's like half what FFXIII did and YW3 definitely underperformed.
That wasn't within that fiscal year.I mean, I'd consider YW3's performance to have been indeed terrible as it spelled the irreversible decline of the franchise, and Level 5 is still unable to recover from its performance.
And of course not a word on DQXI which, at this point, can probably be considered underperforming.

does that 1.1m include digital though? (genuinely asking)
I think we often forget digital in the MC threads.
That wasn't within that fiscal year.
On just the PS3 it sold 500k standard.Well, they kept dropping platforms for one (Wii, PSP, 3DS) while not adding platforms that would've made sense (Vita, Switch). Maybe they could add Switch next year but it's going to require a Fox Engine port.

The single fact is that retailers are flooded with FFXV copies for months and can't get rid of them.
