Support NeoGAF

[Wereroku]

Still find it amazing capcom can't do the things Xseed and other smaller companies do all the time.

It's not that they can't do it. It's that they don't want to. I would guess they want to push people to world.

 

[ItsTheNew]

Anyone think import sites will have an Asian version with English text?

 

[Seik]

I'll cancel my MvCI pre order to contest this.

It's all about DBZ now anyways, fuck em.

 

[Maximo]

Trying to build your fanbase in the west by pissing off your fanbase in the west is an interesting strategy.

People would buy both games ya know.

 

[DooMAGE]

Capcom can eat a dick

 

[feelingkettle]

Wow...

After supporting MH in the west, this is what Nintendo system owners get?

Really no reason to not bring it to ALL consoles at this point.

I have no idea what they are thinking as a company, but as someone who has bought and supported MH in the west since 3U, it kinda feels like you've been dating a girl and things are good, and then she just leaves you for some asshole.

Maybe not like that, but what the fuck Capcom?

 

[jmizzal]

Fuck you Capcom.

[Mister Wolf]

GOAT alienation of consumers Capcom gg.

 

[Alrus]

If you have a PS4, just get MHWorld and a Vita. BAM! Portable MH via Remote Play.

I don't own a Vita and remote play isn't an ideal solution for me anyway.

 

[Eolz]

Fuck Capcom.
#MHXXForTheWest is the hashtag used since months btw, if people want to use it.

And from the other thread...

Well now people can stop with the "this CM just said "for now", it"ll happen later!" and start pushing Capcom for it.
That's really sad, baffling and irritating. Really a bad move for the franchise in the west when we started getting spinoffs and games with good support.

They're really taking huge risks with the franchise in the west. Bringing XX to the west, both Switch and 3DS for maximum profits, couldn't have been that much of a risk. Most of it was already localized, Nintendo could have distributed it, etc.
They are doing that just to put all their eggs in the same basket.

After that, SFV, MvCI, and countless other licences, I've definitely lost hope in this company. Awful.

 

[Lambtron]

Cool, cool. That's fine. Don't take my money then?

 

[ghostwritingduck]

I would have bought the Switch version if I t came out this year. If it hooked me, I would have bought World. I'll continue not playing Monster Hunter, I guess.

 

[Kinsei]

Anyone think import sites will have an Asian version with English text?

Nope.

 

[andymcc]

lemme just get my pocpcorn

.

 

[SporeCrawler]

why the hell is stories comming to the west again?

If you have a PS4, just get MHWorld and a Vita. BAM! Portable MH via Remote Play.

yeah with latency in a game where seconds matter

 

[KHlover]

Obviously Nintendo localizes it in the west instead...right? Riiiight?

Spoiler

Sigh, fuck off Capcom

 

[Quonny]

I'll cancel my MvCI pre order to contest this.

It's all about DBZ now anyways, fuck em.

You were going to do this anyway, as I assume you've seen those two games.

 

[Oregano]

Yup, fuck Capcom.

MH World existing doesn't justify leaving MHXX in Japan.

 

[Curler]

"no plans" does not mean "never"...

 

[spekkeh]

It's because we're getting Monster Hunter 5 right??

Yes.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Time for Nintendo to make their Monster Hunter Clone.

 

[Velcro Fly]

lol who the fuck does Capcom think is going to buy the shiny new PS4/X1 version? Surely the people who would have wanted this too?

Stupid move in my opinion.

 

[MrDoctor]

thread title is false. "no plans" is standard pr speak for not having a release date

 

[Hippopuncher12]

It's because we're getting Monster Hunter 5 right??

Basically. On PS4/X1/PC

 

[ItsTheNew]

Nope.

That sucks.
When is MHW supposed to come out in the west?

 

[TransTrender]

This seems insane.

 

[GinoFelino]

#FuCapcpcom

 

[feelingkettle]

Nintendo should personally step in and fund localization.

Nintendo should make their own Monster Hunter like game using the BOTW engine.

It won't happen, but it would be glorious.

 

[N.Grim]

Fuck Capcom, I hope MHW fail

 

[Spirited]

It's not that they can't do it. It's that they don't want to. I would guess they want to push people to world.

Nice by pushing people to world by not releasing it on the platforms XX is on.

 

[arimanius]

Street fighter must not of sold to their expectations. /rolls eyes

 

[Pastry]

Hard pass on a console version of MH, just not a genre I have an interest in playing on a big screen

 

[Skulldead]

They are not happy with SF2 sales ?

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Why are they purposefully gimping their own game? It's bizarre how some 3rd parties do this for games on Nintendo systems. It makes no sense. No wonder MH hasn't had success in the west when Capcom pulls shit like this and Westerns only get random iterations when they feel like it

 

[Ridley327]

That sucks.
When is MHW supposed to come out in the west?

Early 2018, which probably means either March or April.

 

[jmizzal]

didnt nintendo do the localization and marketing for MH in the west the least few times?

wait so Nintendo has to do marketing and localization for MH when its on their systems, but Capcom will jump to do it when its on other systems? That is dumb

 

[bigjig]

lol

 

[Kinsei]

That sucks.
When is MHW supposed to come out in the west?

Early 2018. No exact date has been announced yet.

 

[Chobel]

What the hell are you doing Capcom?

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

The only way I can see this being the case is if the contract Sony included with the large pile of money for world explicitly forbade MHXX loc

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Capcom: Who are you???
Business: ...

 

[KingSnake]

"Please buy MHW, we customized it for the west".

Well, let's see how that works for you, Capcom.

 

[Kyoufu]

Time for Nintendo to make their Monster Hunter Clone.

Mario Hunter x Rabbids

 

[fernoca]

No different than what they said yesterday...or even in the past.

It will be a matter of Nintendo throwing money at them to help localization and advertising, maybe even publishing.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

wait so Nintendo has to do marketing and localization for MH when its on their systems, but Capcom will jump to do it when its on other systems? That is dumb

Nintendo helped with marketing. Capcom handled localization.

No different than what they said yesterday...or even in the past.

This is the most direct they've been about the issue.

 

[Buddy Mcpuddy]

What is Capcom's aversion to the Switch?, is it because Street Fighter II: Biggest Fucking Ripoff edition didn't sell like hot cakes?

 

[feelingkettle]

The only way I can see this being the case is if the contract Sony included with the large pile of money for world explicitly forbade MHXX loc

Seems pretty fucked up if this is the case, and allows everything else EXCEPT switch. I mean, why Xbox, other than to fuck over Nintendo?

 

[Lord of Ostia]

I'm super excited for MH World, but this is some serious bullshit on Capcom's part. I would've bought the Switch version of XX.

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Somebody get Reggie on camera and ask him why Switch isn't getting the new Monster Hunter game or XX. Would love to see him use his PR savy on a question like that.

 

[Mazzo3]

Nintendo should capitalize on the vacuum by making a Pokemon Hunter game :3
