the focus is clearly on mhw, but you really think its not coming? they are going through the effort to retool the textures, and half of the localization is done by virtue of it being an expansion of mhx. the only way it doesnt get localized is if sony bought western exclusivity.

Based on their current NS output and the focus they're putting on Monster Hunter: World, I doubt very seriously that MH XX is coming to the west. The wouldn't want there to be any splitting of the fanbase at this point. Keep them all on the same game overseas makes the most sense.
With the gigantic install base of 3DS, right?Modest successes is putting it mildly. MH4U did 1.5m and Generations did 900k in the west.
Getting two Monster Hunters on "proper" consoles that close to one another sounded too good to be true.
Shit.

The splitting is gonna happen either way though. Western MH fans are no strangers to importing.
Hopefully World is good so I can still play some MH games in English if Capcom decides to make the portable series Japan only.
4U was the first Monster Hunter title to sell over 1m in the west, ever. And Generations nearly reached that milestone. So I don't think low sales are the culprit.And that might not have been enough for Capcom to care to bring Monster Hunter XX to the west for Switch.
Anyone else remember how Resident Evil Revelations 2 came to consoles and Vita but not the 3DS because its sales of the first game weren't great?
As I feared.
I have a feeling that after Stories, Monster Hunter won't be seeing life on a Nintendo platform in the west for a long time .

A bit of an overreaction going on here. Even if it isn't shown at the Treehouse event I wouldn't totally count it out on coming over.
I think the potential sales in a worst case scenario would still justify localization costs and Capcom is a business after all.
I hear that burning your audience in the west is a great way to build your audience in the west!

It won't matter if folks migrate over as it's the only Monster Hunter they're gonna get. Honestly, I don't think this is gonna hurt them at all and at the end of the day they may well expand the audience like they've wanted.
Its sales must be pretty close. Wiki says 960k in Japan as of December 2009, and 1.9m worldwide as of June 2012. Though Tri's sales overall were a big step down from the PSP entries, as I recall.im pretty sure tri sold a million
No it isn't. There are currently no plans to do so at Capcom so don't get your hopes up. Or just hope that Nintendo steps in.
I'll fucking learn moonspeak and import before throwing money towards call of hunter.
So, no Western release for this?
They're not really starting on right foot. First a poor perception/first impression with a lackluster trailer, and now spiting your audience... to build your audience.
Only Capcom can come up with such infallible stupidity.
I guess I don't understand why this is a bad thing for them. It's bad for NS owners, for sure. I'm sure this is good for Sony and good for Capcom. They want in on that sweet HD market and dealing with the NS isn't really something they have to do in order go do that. It really doesn't matter what any NS owner thinks, because at the end of the day if they're fans of the series, they'll jump in on the PS4, XBO, PC version along with Japanese players. Do they really need to support the NS to sell a ton of copies of this game?
Imagine how people didn't have Wiis or 3DSs felt.I've been playing all the Monster Hunter games since Tri and I'm not buying a PS4 or Xbox to play one game. It's probably my favorite franchise but I don't have the money to just go and buy a PS4 for one game. No portable Monster Hunter is going to suck ass.
Nope. MH peacing out from Nintendo systems in the West
Sucks. I never woulda bought Generations if I knew this was gonna happen.

What I don't understand is why even bother with the NS version at all...even in Japan? Especially right now with Monster Hunter: Worlds relatively close. Unless the NS version is just some sort of cash grab until the "main game" comes out next year.
From the other thread, basically saying there are no plans to localize MHXX:
I really hope Nintendo steps in and we get this game.

I seriously doubt 900k-1.5m in the west isn't enough to justify continued localization. Most of Capcom's games on PS4 and Xbox One sell less than that.And that might not have been enough for Capcom to care to bring Monster Hunter XX to the west for Switch.

i mean thank god switch is region free and i am gonna import a copy from japan in the worst caes but this here is some fucking bullshit, why we cant have both games, i was so hyped for this
See I would enjoy importing this but I can't fucking read Japanese.
Presumably the Japanese copy would still connect to the Japanese servers no matter where you are in the world. But the latency is guaranteed to be pretty bad if you live far from Japan.Yeah, I know. But it's somewhat cumbersome and I'm not quite sure how and if proper online play would be possible. And without online multiplayer, my interest in that version would take a very serious hit.
That's some fucking shit. Who would've seen that coming, tbh? Hopefully Capcom comes back around later into the generation.
can we stop with the definitive statements unless you've got an actual source?

Never has a western release of Monster Hunter on a Nintendo console been announced at E3.
Also E3 isn't over yet.
Since we got Metroid Samus Returns for 3DS announced at the Treehouse there might a chance (albeit a very slim one) that MHXX may be announced there too over the next few days.
I'm not saying it's happening but I'm very sure that an announcement of a western MHXX release will come sooner rather than later.
No it isn't. There are currently no plans to do so at Capcom so don't get your hopes up. Or just hope that Nintendo steps in.
