They should negotiate Gamefreak and the MH Portable team working together. That would be a Japan shattering partnership
Wouldn't the Xenoblade X engine be a much better fit? You can already start with some good monster designs.
I have no idea how much a localization costs (translation + print + production of cartridges) but I cannot imagine it is so much money they cannot get back from sales. I imagine a Switch MH to sell pretty good in the west. This seems kind of stupid.
Edit: wait, the 3DS version is coming though? Wtf?

Doing pretty well by the looks of it actually
Nintendo saw this coming. That's why Creature Stalker by Retro Studios is currently in development.
This is not on Nintendo at all. They're even going as far as making a bundle for the damn game in Japan.

There will be a 5. Numerical branding is too valuable. I'd bet the next Switch game is just that actually if not one in the Monster Hunter Portable brand.

1. No quote?
2. It's E3. They have a new game to promote. They might not want to talk about MHXX.

You're probably thinking of Monster Hunter World.

Hey Look, we've managed to build and sustain a working relationship with Nintendo and their players. Monster Hunter has never been more successful than it is now.
Let's take a shit on all of that.
If XX was just not coming out period i'd be a bit more understanding. But its releasing in 2 months, on Switch and 3DS. I also doubt it'd cost them much to localize it, as MH doesn't have that much text.

Are you fucking kidding me? This is like only brining the ps3 version of Persona 5 to the West. Good luck Capcom.

It's obvious they don't care about the fanbase they and Nintendo created all these years. They want a new and bigger fanbase, they want the series to be 'mainstream' every where and they obviously started this game back when they just assumed Switch was gonna be a failure.
Why XX coming out affects World I have no idea, they must think there's only room for 1 and they want all the focus to be on the new one in the west.
It will anger a lot of established fans though, and the last time Capcom brushed away the 'hardcore' fans in hopes of gaining all new/more ones instead they got DmC'ed.

I mean I thought when Generations was the top selling game the month it came out we were in a good place for this franchise.

Capcom aren't as vindictive as Konami, they're just REALLY out-of-touch.

How is this Nintendo's fault? They really seem to bend over backwards for Capcom, especially with regards to this series, so I think instead Capcom should be asked about their aversion to the system.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo already distributes MH titles in Europe (for Wii U/3DS), but I could be wrong about that.
MHXX is also a new game, and I don't think it's a stretch to believe that a lot of Monster Hunter fans would have absolutely no problems buying two new Monster Hunter games.

MHXX for the Switch is a new game for them too! It was only just announced in Japan some days ago! Nintendo literally just announced 2 Metroid games on separate platforms. It's not like Capcom can't do the same. This is pure fuckery on their part

Capcom: Hey Nintendo do you want to bankroll this game for the West.
NCL: Can you port MHW to Switch?
Capcom: No
NCL: Same Answer to your question.
They're banking on the combined PS4, Xbox, and PC installed bases being worth far more than pissing off the Nintendo fans.
If it's true, it's just business, sucks but Nintendo will survive - though honestly, it sounds far-fetched that Sony would bother paying unless they think people on Xbox don't care at all. More likely Capcom just doesn't care.

Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see him squirm a little at why NoA is being neglected when it comes to XX.
Seems like Capcom is waiting for Nintendo to step in. I'll reiterate it's baffling how they won't help the franchise grow with a localized XX version for the Switch. I highly doubt people would get confused in the marketplace between the 2 games. Monster Hunter isn't exactly a casual franchise ala Madden or CoD.

Hate this. Goddamnit.
I will never understand why these big publishers think that only localizing select games in a series is a good way to grow a fan base. It's the same shit with Dragon Quest, somehow we're in a world where we get the Dynasty Warriors and Minecraft spin-offs but whether we'll ever see the two latest main series games (X and XI) localized is still completely unknown.
Alright, who do we have to pester on social media to get this done?
