So is capcom good now? Is Street Fighter not the real test?

 

[Karspankey]

I pre-ordered 100,000 copies of Street Fighter 2. You're welcome, guys

 

[NeonBlack]

 

[Khezu]

FINALLY

Purchase redeemed.

 

[names2hard4you]

Done done

 

[Brizzo24]

Never played a Monster Hunter game. Is this a good time to "jump in"?

 

[jwillenn]

first
bait
then
Switch!

 

[DaxMedFlax]

YES!

 

[Aaronrules380]

Expected but still exciting

 

[Roubjon]

Time to buy a switch!

 

[Skittzo0413]

Ultra Street Fighter 2 must have done great!

Spoiler

/s

Excited to learn more about this, I had a lot of fun with 3 ultimate.

 

[Codeacious]

And now I'm getting a Switch. Three games is my bar for buying into a system.

 

[Jpop]

There's still MH5 heh.

For some reason I thought I put MH5 in there. I will leave my embarrassment for history to see.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I for one welcome our Switch overlord.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

like a double cross?

A double cross indeed.

 

[jack_package_200]

Guess this will be my first Monster Hunter game

 

[El Topo]

Nice.

 

[The Technomancer]

Okay real talk I keep buying Monster Hunter games but I sort of bounced off of Generations because...I think I'm too good at them now? The struggle of working through the learning curve is gone now. I started Generations and was dispatching fights through the ranks in 15 minutes or less out of the gate, and it was hard to want to keep working my way up. Anyone else run into this?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Thread is pretty funny when you remember half the ppl in here were probably shitting on capcom earlier lol

 

[_Clash_]

Happening

 

[talkingood]

Nice! Haven't played a Monster Hunter since MH4. I'm down for this if they make an effort.

 

[jmizzal]

Yes LORD plz be 2017

And we only gotta wait til Saturday

 

[NSESN]

I pre-ordered 100,000 copies of Street Fighter 2. You're welcome, guys

May Zinogre bless you.

 

[Retro]

I'm so far beyond ready for this.

 

[kulapik]

Does it say that there will be footage reveal on the MH Championship or what? Or was it there where it was revealed?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Glad I waited, lol

 

[Buckle]

Brb. Buying a Switch now.

 

[Father_Brain]

buhbuh crapcpom said they were only bringing shitty test games to switch

Seriously, though, I wasn't expecting any sort of MH Switch announcement until a bit later in the year. Cool.

 

[squattingdonkey]

Played 4U, loved it but wished I had a second stick, so I skipped Generations. Looking forward to XX. YES

 

[Ridley327]

Never played a Monster Hunter game. Is this a good time to "jump in"?

Honestly, I feel like MH4U is a lot more newbie friendly than MHX/XX is, but this is going to be the first console release since MH3U, so you might have an easier time overall with a more traditional controller.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Well

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

Paving the way for MH5 to be announced at E3

 

[chrisPjelly]

GODAMMIT NOW I HAVE TO GET A SWITCH

 

[Kebiinu]

Ooooh my GOD!!!!!

 

[The Hermit]

Bububub the Switch is not replacing the 3ds!!!!

 

[Fandangox]

It has begun.

 

[dadjumper]

Ayyy, I hope it comes out soon

 

[sinonobu]

TOLD YOU SO

 

[RurouniZel]

Just give me a release date! My switch is ready!

 

[Eggiem]

Ohh yess!!!

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I pre-ordered 100,000 copies of Street Fighter 2. You're welcome, guys

THANK YOU!!!

 

[wumster3000]

If this is true, my Switch purchase had me solidified. They just sold an asston more too.

 

[Aaronrules380]

I don't think E3 is the event they'd announced a new MH game at tbh

 

[Alrus]

Well to be fair this could also qualify as a test game.

I don't think E3 is the event they'd announced a new MH game at tbh

Announcement at TGS is way more likely if they do it during a big conference.

 

[Primethius]

Oh fuck yes.

 

[LiK]

Kyoufu is pleased

 

[ggx2ac]

This is shocking considering people originally thought this was going to be a Switch launch title.

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

I don't think E3 is the event they'd announced a new MH game at tbh

TGS then, whatever, I'm just hyped for MH5 on Switch!

 

[SunDimension24]

Guess a western announcement will be at E3. Wonder if they will do a dual release for 3ds/switch in the west.

 

[twentytwo22]

If you want to add it to the OP, it looks like we're getting details in 2 days (5/27 noon JST) during the Monster Hunter championship in Sapporo. Live stream will be here at 5/27 noon (also including the championship so who knows exactly when they'll talk about XX Switch):
