That's probably why they hadn't announced Generations Ultimate already; they can do another 3 Ultimate and release the 3DS and Switch versions at the same time not long after the Japanese release. So it might make it out this year.

Monster Hunter XX coming to Switch
- Thread starter The Last One
- Start date
Oh. The gameolay got progresively faster with each entry. For mhx fights are shorter and your options are more varied. Still is all about anticipation and learning the behavior and patterns of the enemy, definitely not for everyone.

I thought CAPCOM wasn't going to do anything except Street Fighter on may?

Lol investors are so ridiculous.
Nintendo doesn't have any systems to sell Monster Hunter XX on.
Game companies say a lot of things
No details have been given on it. All we know is that something is going to be mentioned (hopefully) on Saturday that could give us details on it. Or at least acknowledge this announcement that they made a few hours ago and possibly tease something that we could find out later next month.
They added two new styles, and I believe that they changed the flow of the game a little bit to have the Deviant variants a little better integrated.

Hmm...I'll definitely get it because of the new Generations content that I never got because I didn't get XX on the 3DS, like the new monsters and subspecies and new variants and G-Rank. But do the monsters still die as fast as they did in Generations? That would be a huge bummer.

DAY ONE.
FUUUUUCKING IN THIS.

I liked deviants but yeah they were super grindy and awkward to fit into progression. Makes sense.
I've heard one of the new styles is super dumb for HBG so I guess I'm looking forward to that. Because apparently Adept HBG wasn't broken enough, lol.
I see Barioth and Nerscylla are back, that's good. I see there's a deviant Diablos, that's...not as good.

Tournaments are like 5 hours tho, the Tournaments are kinda cool if you wanna see monsters get dominated, but I wonder when during that time they'll drop this.

I better be able to transfer my Generations save file.
pretty done

Hope it's 1080p/60fps. Shouldn't be hard for Switch to run a 3DS game at that.

The not-flagship new monster looks like an absolute riot, too. There's videos of it out there, but it's definitely a whole new ball game with that one.
They'll put together another save data transfer tool like 3U had, I'm sure.

3rd gen was the best MH so it'll be a step down most likely. 😛

My main issue isn't that I'm expecting this to be a lackluster up port. It's that Nintendo still can't get the dang system in stock long enough. I'm not feeling optimistic that they're gonna get their production up enough for whenever this comes out. And I feel that even if they do, they'll prioritize shipping more consoles just to Japan and screwing over the rest of the world.
The new monsters are pretty dope in Generations. I'm mixed on the styles and arts. The old map designs from 1 and 2 and how easy it is puts me off. It also has the worst story mode of any MH game with waay too much filler.
I can't remember the last time I cared for story in any MH game.

I'll give you that. The game is the first time I've felt that a MH game feels...bloated? Content for the sake of content, and this was especially evident in the story/village quests. Also generally, it felt like they just threw assets at it. Definitely didn't feel as focused as 4U, although I don't know how I can go back to having no styles. Hammer + Adept is my GOAT mix.
I mean...this will do pretty well in Japan. It'll probably be the lead SKU in the West (if not the only one).
I mean it purely from a completionist point of view, though I generally like what goes on in Tri/3u/4u.
I've played MHG for about 100 hours...and have ALMOST completed story mode. My HR is 2. Most of that has been getting check marks on some duplicate ass quests in the same shitty Gen 1/2 maps to find some nonsense or hunt a small monster. In each rank. They did it so that the randos in each village could give you some more stuff to do but it gets old fast.

And with this, my birthday went from pretty good to FUCKING AWESOME!!!
I've been waiting for this for so long. Thanks Capcom!

There are some very archaic elements in the game, I've been playing a long time and one day I realized how stupid it is that your character can not turn on a dime and has to walk a quater circle to change direction.

They have done dual monster hunter reveals before.
Fighting Gobul underwater is beyond Intersellar-docking-scene-levels of disorienting. Why water battles WHY?

Nah, if they had anything else they'd save it for the National Finals.
