[KZXcellent]

Guess we wait till E3 for a localization date.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

That's sooner than I was expecting. Better be the same out West.

 

[enkaisu]

Any info for US release? I'm guessing that'll come at E3.

 

[javac]

That's very soon.

 

[Khezu]

Sweet, will double dip if not day and date with America.

 

[DNAbro]

Wow that's soon. I was expecting Nov.

 

[Sandfox]

The textures are way better in this version.

 

[Flarin]

From the stream footage it doesn't look that much better (visually speaking) than the 3DS version. Kind of a bummer.

 

[Kodaman]

Bundle announced... that's a pretty dock there

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Once they announce the US date, I'll be hunting for a Switch.

 

[Geg]

Wow, this is releasing a month after Splatoon 2. Japan is not ready

 

[DMONKUMA]

Bye bye stock in japan

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Somebody should compare screens with the 3DS emulator

[_Clash_]

This is all so good

Get your switches asap folks

Gonna get dire

 

[Thoraxes]

"Save transfers and cross play with 3DS confirmed."

fuuuuckk yessssssss

 

[Otakumegane]

Wow, this is releasing a month after Splatoon 2. Japan is not ready

Oh god the stock issues.

Someone save them.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

that bundle man

 

[DNAbro]

Bundle announced... that's a pretty dock there

Oh god I only thought about special edition joycons. I never even thought of the possibility of special edition docks.

 

[panama chief]

Play Asia for eshop yen cards right?

 

[Lyon N. Laap]

I know I can import, but I would love if at E3 we get an announcement of a worldwide release relatively close to the Japanese one, if not the same day.

Here's to hopes.

 

[Scoops]

Yeah this is going to sell a lot.

 

[MetalliCabombination]

Looks like a pretty good port.
No thanks to its roots though it still looks ugly

 

[Kyoufu]

The textures are way better in this version.

Looks the same to me aside from the higher resolution. Not that I expected it to look drastically better.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Looks great and the release is earlier than expected.

Goodbye 240p Monster Hunter.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Looks like it can also play against owners of the original Monster Hunter X/Generations!

Meaning even if they leave the 3DS ver behind in JP, there's still cross play with Generations! Smart! I assume fights against XX-only monsters are not compatible right? Was X and XX on 3DS already compatible with each other?

 

[Khezu]

Still looks like butt, but at least I don't have squint to make everything out.

 

[BitStyle]

A lot earlier than I was expecting

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Summer of Switch. Those Media Create threads are going to be insane.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Capcom keeps finding ways to not make next-gen assets for Monster Hunter. Can't wait for this series to actually get some good looking art when they are forced to make the next version.

 

[watershed]

It looks good for a 3ds up-port but nothing remarkable.

 

[OnionPowder]

This better be 60FPS.

Still looks like a huge improvement just in terms of visibility.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Most likely this year too in the West, right?

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

I hope this shit is 60fps

 

[PKrockin]

Looks the same to me aside from the higher resolution. Not that I expected it to look drastically better.

Definitely an improvement.

 

[ZSaberLink]

Summer of Switch. Those Media Create threads are going to be insane.

Only if Nintendo can actually produce enough stock lol. I do hope they get their supply chain in order by then.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Play Asia for eshop yen cards right?

just buy it from amazon japan. no marked up price lol

 

[jack_package_200]

Am I crazy to think this will release in the west in 2017?

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Only if Nintendo can actually produce enough stock lol. I do hope they get their supply chain in order by then.

The fact that they're doing bundles for this and Splatoon suggests hopefully.

 

[James Scott]

Splatoon 2 in July and MH in August should be a pretty crazy combo in japan

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Save transfers confirmed baby

 

[Kevtones]

Switch is lit this year.

 

[Man God]

Cross play pretty much guarantees it won't have significant bonus content.

 

[selo]

Looks the same heh. Cool that it supports cross play. Will it take a year to get localized though ?

 

[Nanashrew]

1080p docked is nice.

 

[Ridley327]

Am I crazy to think this will release in the west in 2017?

Not crazy, but I'm not sure where there's a good spot for it with what we know is coming out, especially with Monster Hunter Stories hitting in October. I expect that this will be a February/March title to give it a bigger spotlight.

Would like to be wrong, though!

 

[Eusis]

Ohhh, save transfers? And MHX data can be imported into XX on 3DS... hope it can go X->XX 3DS->Switch and by proxy carry that over to Generations and... Generations Ultimate? Generations X? Generations Generations? Whatever.

 

[vareon]

Looks exactly as expected, a cleaner, better res textures of the 3DS version. Won't mind a bit when I'm shooting giant cannons on Brachydios.

 

[alf717]

Never played MH before thinking of checking this out if a US release happens.
