That's the point, still doesn't justify the fact that we shouldn't talk about the graphics right?

You can talk about graphics but comparing it to a PC game makes no sense. The Switch at it's best may never out do PC games from 2007.

Maybe just keep the expectations of a port a lil more reasonable than "look at the PC exclusive MH, why does it look worse than this"

With them clarifying that english wouldn't be in the release on august I am afraid this wouldn't be a worldwide launch and the english version wouldn't get released at a closer time period with the japanese one.

I never expected the Japanese version of XX for the Switch would have any English language options because there's lots of collaboration DLC gear in the Japanese version that isn't going to be available elsewhere for licensing reasons. But that doesn't preclude versions for other regions from launching at the same time.

Depends. There's some games like USF2 that got a WW release date, but only japanese in the japanese release, while some others got all languages in one cartridge.

Another Capcom game (Street Fighter II) had a worldwide release but didn't have an English language option in the Japanese version.

We've been getting more and more of the collaboration DLC each time they bring a game over because it is mainly stuff that is also popular in the west.

Capcom making the JP-version of USF2 separate from the rest of the world might be because of the licensing for the first print music-DLC in Japan.

In that case it would makes even more sense for them to do it with MH too. There's a bunch of Japanese DLC that we won't get due to licensing reasons.

Thanks for posting. So that desert map was the MHFU desert like I thought.

Yep. I really wish they had brought back the Sandy Plains instead. It's the best desert map in the entire series.

 

[Apharmd]

Nothing at E3. I am so sad.

 

[Kinsei]

I guess we can safely say the west is never getting this. Fucking Capcom.

 

[kaioshade]

Welp, time to move on to World for MH fix.

 

[Immaculate]

the dream is dead

 

[Jeff Vader]

Welp, not unexpected after yesterday.

 

[nubbe]

Monster Hunter is no longer on Nintendo in the west confirmed

 

[Ursn]

Eternal sadness.

 

[onionfrog]

No MHXX localization announced! I'm so bummed out right now.
;_;

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

I guess we can safely say the west is never getting this. Fucking Capcom.

Yeah don't get your hopes up. As far as I know Capcom have no plans to localise it so we have to pray that Nintendo steps in and helps bring it across.

 

[Eusis]

Meh, it was just announced for Japan. I'd give it longer. Etrian Odyssey V this wasn't (and fortunately that crossed the finish line.)

EDIT: With that said they have to be holding on to the 3DS version until the Switch version if they're even going to bother with that one still. See how MH3U was held back for the Wii U version.

 

[schuelma]

The Spotlight wasn't really 3rd party focused at all. I could see it still being announced.

 

[dragonlife]

fucking lol

sigh

 

[Tamanator]

Not surprising considering Monster Hunter: World is their Western focused title.

 

[Wanderer5]

Maybe it could still be revealed via treehouse?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Nothing at E3. I am so sad.

Yep. Guess this ain't coming to the US any time soon. Fucking Capcom.

 

[tuffy]

It wouldn't be the first franchise I've had to say goodbye to. But it was a pleasure playing Monster Hunter with GAF folks for the past four years. I had fun.

 

[kaioshade]

The Spotlight wasn't really 3rd party focused at all. I could see it still being announced.

They showed third party titles. FIFA, Rocket League, Skyrim.

MH is dead.
It really woukdnt surprise me if portable entries are kept in japan, like portable 3rd was.

 

[Formosa]

Monster hunter World looks 100 times better than this...

 

[nubbe]

The Spotlight wasn't really 3rd party focused at all. I could see it still being announced.

Just accept it
It's ok

 

[Xion_Stellar]

I'm​ looking forward Monster Hunter World but I still wanted a localization of MH:XX.

*sigh* Well I got no reason to buy a Switch any time soon now.

 

[EDarkness]

Not surprising considering Monster Hunter: World is their Western focused title.

Yep. I didn't think Capcom would waste time on porting MH XX over the NS and 3DS. Why do that when the big western focused game is coming next year? No one should be surprised, but there's still time for them to announce it.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Monster hunter World looks 100 times better than this...

It's not an either or proposition. They can co-exist, and that's the rumor: mainline on consoles and portable series on Switch.

Also, the art style for next-gen MonHun is drab.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

I'm so pissed. Wtf Capcom, this is so insanely shitty of you after the people who bought all the 3DS games expected this.

 

[Valdfellgar]

I could've sworn MH games typically take some time to get a western announcement after its first revealed in Japan. Weren't the last several on the 3DS successful? I doubt they'd drop it just yet. I'll give it a year.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

E3 is not over.

Nintendo said they would break news.

Break them.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

I guess we can safely say the west is never getting this. Fucking Capcom.

Dramatic gaf at its best.
Tree house not even started yet.

I was bummed over the lack of E3 news, but hilarious comments like this perk me right up, ty friend. :3

Considering that they're releasing Monster Hunter: World worldwide early next year, they don't have much time to wait on this unless they're going to release both games at the same time. I think they REALLY want Monster Hunter to succeed on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Probably more than they want NS players.

 

[Meesh]

Tree house not even started yet.

When is Treehouse??
Still hoping for Mon Hun infos.

 

[Beats]

I kinda expected it to not get announced during the spotlight.

I'm interested in trying World, but I'd still like portable MH to get localized. Hopefully we still get it, but idk :x

 

[Thoraxes]

E3 is not over.

Nintendo said they would break news.

Break them.

I would be super bummed to not get a game with G rank content in it when they released the first part already.

Also the whole releasing on Friday for the first time in a while thing. I suppose importing is a possibility though, so I would just do that instead.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

When is Treehouse??
Still hoping for Mon Hun infos.

It's live now, but we're suppose to get one new reveal during first hour or s/t according to reggie.

 

[Wanderer5]

Can people least wait till E3 is over lol. This could very much be revealed on Treehouse.

 

[Mupod]

I was 200% ready to buy a Switch until this localization became uncertain. YOU ARE TEARING ME APART CAPCOM.

Why does it have to release prior/at the same time to MH World? Is there an expiration date I'm unaware of?

 

[Thoraxes]

Can people least wait till E3 is over lol. This could very much be revealed on Treehouse.

After the MH World announcement and the massive feelings of disappointment over it, the prospect of suddenly going potentially 3-4 years without a mainline MH game+localization closes in on you pretty fast.

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Yeah don't get your hopes up. As far as I know Capcom have no plans to localise it so we have to pray that Nintendo steps in and helps bring it across.

Fuck...

That being localized was my only hope for more Monster Hunter in my life anytime soon. I can't afford to buy a PS4 or Xbox...

 

[tuffy]

Hypothetically it could release after. But Generations took 8 months to localize, so there's no reason an expansion with less text should take longer.
