absolute worst would be XX cancelled on switch. MHXX can be bought by any switch due to the region free eshop so yeah... im going to get it anyways

We live in a world where Nintendo is publishing Skyrim and MoHun consistently sells around a million+ copies.
I wouldn't worry too much about the game being localized. Probably by Nintendo.

I think it's important though, and thank you for correcting me, to remember that people leaking stuff have a position within the company and while that gives them access to details, it doesn't necessarily give them accessing to everything. It's entirely possible Plans for XX just haven't hit his sphere of influence, be it because the project hasn't revved up yet for localization, or perhaps they don't have announcement plans ready yet, or whatever. I still think it's way too early to automatically assume doom and gloom.

Nah absolute worst is Capcom travels back in time to convince themselves to never make the franchise in the first place.

I hope when it does get Localized, it comes before Worlds. Don't want to have to get it and Worlds for PC at the same time.

The optimist in me says that there is no way Stories is coming here and XX doesn't.
The pessimist in me says Capcom.

Yeah, here's hoping. I'm excited for World too but I need my portable MH man
Wait so there's evidence that we might not be getting it?? What in the whole freaking hell??

you are right... lol
Guy who got basically everything about MHW right here said in the other thread Capcom has no plans to localize it atm
Nintendo is publishing MH Stories in the west. But yeah, it would be bizarre to localize that when the opportunity cost for an XX release overseas seems like a much more sure thing than Stories.

Outside of the echo chamber that is GAF, there is buzz for MH World.

Especially since E3 has shown that the 3DS in 2017 isn't as dire in terms of software as you would have guessed.
I put 100 hours into MH on the Wii. I even bought joypad and the Wii Speak to use with it.
I would have played more, but the group I was with outlevelled me and I couldn't join their hunts. That's my big problem with the game; I hope these versions allow for difficulty scaling in some way, so people who can't level together and still play together.

That would be the absolute dumbest shit. You essentially already translated the game once for crying out loud and you have an established user base on Nintendo consoles. The last could of games sold very well here as well. What is there to lose??

Worst case I can import it like I did Tri and 3G. Can't say I'm that worried.
MonHun World sales. Considering its likely not going to sell a whole lot in Japan they need focused marketing in the West to drive interest and sales. They can always localize XX later if need be.

That's one way to fuck over your customer base. I wonder what's going to be left of Capcom in 5 years. They've been wrong with Dead Rising and Street Fighter. RE7 sales did not meet expectations. Now they're jeopardizing their main cashcow, MonHun... Do they really think they can stand up against AssCreed or Horizon?

thats just dumb to say
I live in the UK and latency has never been a problem with any of the 3DS MH games. I only own the JP versions.

I live on the East coast of the US and am seconding this. Never had a big issue with lag. I've played 2 of the last 3 MonHun games in Japanese and it's very likely that I'm going to end up playing XX that way too.

I went from pretty hyped about this being on Switch, to now reading it wont be localized?
That would be some major bummer.

Yeah I'm in the same boat...
How does that make any sense? Especially when Monster Hunter World is so far down the road and XX is right here??

To play devil's advocate: It's possible they don't have the localization resources to spare.

Capcom: "I know what our fans want!"
That gif is so dumb... makes me sick.
This would make more sense to me. Still, the game was already localized once and I can't imagine what else would be eating up the small amount of resources required to localize it.

Monster Hunter is NOT a game one wants to play in a language you can not understand. Especially one you haven't played before. If you've mastered a game in your language already that's another story but XX is new, new content, etc. Simpy getting it off the eShop is not a good option. An option but no way a good one that should be recommended.
XX not being localized was always a real possibility. I always thought it wouldn't. I still stand by my feeling from last night. F Capcom.
MHW is slated for Early 2018, that's not really that far down the road.
Still, incredibly disappointing. I was certain we'd get MHXX in the west this year and now it seems uncertain whether we'll get it at all. Didn't think we'd end up at this point again after Capcom seemed very satisfied by Generations' sales. Oh well.
I am totally buying Stories at the end of the year but I would love to have confirmation about XX localization for spring 18 by Nintendo
Capcom: "I know what our fans want!"
Hahaha oh man, that's a good fake. What does it look like for real?

i was talking about myself. i played tri and 4 in japanese. ill be fine
Yup. And we're a fanbase that has been through some
shit.
I have a PS4 and I may buy Monster Hunter World (if it's worth buying), but why should that affect the more traditional game that is exclusive to Nintendo consoles?
It's one of the few games I know that it's completely playable in another language. It's not ideal, but as far as import friendly games go, you can't do much better than this.
If you NEVER played Monster Hunter before, that's another story.

Noty a good option, but still the only option. I'm importing it, hoping that my few remnants of japanese studies from some years ago will help me.
Gotcha! If one has tried it before then more power to them.
Terrible option to be honest. Glad some folks can enjoy these games in Japanese, but I find it really difficult.
Because the goal would be to get people to buy MH: World primarily and someone who buys XX might like that game, but not the other. If everyone is playing under the same game, then the base isn't split and they get to keep making their HD Monster Hunter. It may not even matter if you're a fan and if you're gonna buy it on the PS4, because with the sheer size of the install base of all three platforms (PS4, XBO, PC), if you don't buy there may be plenty others who will. Losing some fans is tough, but I wouldn't doubt that they're banking on those fans migrating, because they may be more fans of the game, then systems. Sucks for Nintendo fans who want XX, but install base wise, they're a small group.
