[Tizoc]

Noice, will def. grab this.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

seriously why isnt there a thread yet lol

Thought the same lol everybody's sleeping?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

omg what

3DS only? Why is Capgod not being godly? It would be such an easy port.

Still, day one, omg.

 

[Shikoba]

Finally! I've been hoping it would.

 

[E_Darkness]

I mean this was no where near the first RPG I thought would get localised. I'm more surprised we didn't get MHXX.

I'll get it because it is Monster Hunter.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Yes I love the anime, Ive been dying to have this game!!! Surprise announcement of the day!

 

[Voror]

How did this one shake out? I recall hearing generally positive things.

 

[nubbe]

I've already imported all the Japanese Amiibos
I'm ready to GOOOOOOO

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

I'm guessing they're saving XX announcement for E3 then. This is alright in the meanwhile, it means Capcom isn't ignoring the West and that's all I need.

 

[Herb Alpert]

omg what

Still, day one, omg.

capcom doesn't know what a switch is..

they probably were so lukewarmabout this console that they only put their "AAA" (lol) SF2 40€ game on it to say "we were there". Now that the thing seems to work, they are caught with their pants down.

Expect quick ports in the coming months

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

My 2nd to last 3DS Game!

 

[Nocturnowl]

What was the actual reception to this game? I never really heard anything one way or the other.

 

[Joqu]

I'll make this my first monster hunter, it looks great. I'm hoping it gets me invested in the series

 

[Neoxon]

So are they gonna use the Funimation cast for the English dub?

 

[TreIII]

After hearing about the sales being middling in Japan, I was getting increasingly worried that Capcom wouldn't bother.

Glad to see that isn't the case!

So are they gonna use the Funimation cast for the English dub?

That depends.

The Japanese game itself uses the Monster Hunter world's language, even during voiced scenes. So, would Capcom and/or Nintendo really bother tapping the Funimation cast to record "gibberish" all over again is the question.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Glad this is coming over.

 

[Lijik]

are we getting the amiibo too or should i import those now

 

[Immaculate]

they gave us this instead of XX?

 

[Producer]

they gave us this instead of XX?

im sure xx is coming over too

 

[Zoon]

I'll probably skip this one. I think I'm pretty much done with my 3DS.

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

they gave us this instead of XX?

I'm actually ok with that if it ends up being the case. They need to move traditional Monster Hunter over to the Switch.

 

[Newtype-001]

Sold my 3ds already rip

 

[Sammy Samusu]

amiibo

omg

The time has come.

And why would Capcom prioritize MHS over MHGG localization? Well, I think the answer is obvious, they are working on MHGG HD for Switch.

We won.

 

[Kinsei]

amiibo

Or they're saving MHGX for E3 because it's a much bigger game than Stories.

 

[leroidys]

Very happy about this. Fall is pretty far away though

 

[kubus]

This game was lovely. Really happy it is being localized!

Put some 50 hours into it. Was especially surprised at how good the story was. Don't let the awful anime fool you, I dropped it at around episode 12 because it was so terrible and they ruined the best parts of the game's story and even Navirou's character. He was my favorite in the game but the anime just butchered him :/

Zelda DLC is really great too. I made a video of the gameplay, it's pretty much the closest we'll get to a new 3D Zelda game on 3DS lol

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

I want to believe.

Good point, I guess a dub wouldn't really be necessary in that case.

 

[Syril]

Oh sweet. I was wary of this game at first but after seeing some longer videos to get a sense of the battle system it actually looked pretty fun.

 

[Lindsay]

Cool! Not a Monster Hunter person but am an RPG one! Will certainly have ta look into this game!

 

[Derkon]

3DS isn't going anywhere.

 

[Akiller]

Oh man, i had literally lost hopes on this one rotfl

D1. Game would have looked wonderful on the Switch though.

 

[tuffy]

I figured Stories was only a matter of time, but it's nice to finally have it confirmed.

Having Generations Ultimate go the 3U route by arriving on 3DS/Switch would be welcome, of course, but I'm sure that'd be announced for Japan first.

 

[wartama]

What an exciting announcement!

Now Capcom, you can also bring that lawyer game and I'd love you forever * cough cough wink wink*

 

[Jonneh3003]

Panzer Dragoon Saga vibes, I've wanted this since it was announced in Japan!

 

[Eolz]

So happy about that.
I know it's aimed for kids, but the game looks beautiful (like most Capcom 3DS games), and seems really fun too!

 

[-Horizon-]

Let's go!

 

[Korigama]

Personally don't have any interest in this game in spite of liking Monster Hunter, but good for the people who did want it.

 

[dancrane212]

I'm not too invested in Monster Hunter myself but was still hoping this would comes over. It looks incredibly charming.

 

[Tacorona72]

I was beginning to lose hope on a western release of this game. But they actually did it, and I'm excited!

 

[Doopliss]

Can't wait. I played the japanese demo and was amazed by how good-looking it was. I love how cute they've made all of the Monsters look.

 

[B00TE]

The JP demo was awesome, real happy to see this coming west.

 

[ohlawd]

ugh fuck

I have no interest in this but I gotta get it as a MH superfan

 

[Corginand]

Generations was announced for the west like 3 months after it launched in Japan, I'm not surprised MHXX wasn't announced here. Wasn't expecting Stories at all, though, especially after not selling well in Japan.

 

[Dremorak]

Yesssss! Awesome

 

[Chindogg]

Now will the Amiibos also come to the west?

 

[Iva Demilcol]

I was about to order the Japanese version.

Nice.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Now will the Amiibos also come to the west?

The amiibo logo is right there my friend!

 

[Xion_Stellar]

Good news for those that wanted this title but when this game inevitably bombs in the West the same way it did in Japan than I hope that Capcom isn't foolish enough to use it as a metric/reason for not bringing Monster Hunter XX to the West.
