Ouch. Guess I'm going to have to make it three of the last four Monster Hunter games played in Japanese.

No need to hope that because it likely will. It didn't do so well in Japan compared to the normal series. It's liking going to perform even worse outside of Japan.

Yeah, after seeing the Japanese numbers I did not expect this to leave Japan. Because if it didn't sell well in a place where it's core titles set chart records, I don't expect it to do anything in the west.
It's a 7/10 RPG or a 3/10 Mon Hun game. Take your pick.
Yeah it's... not ideal. You get used to it and you eventually learn the basics of the written text, but it's not great (to me). Still, I kinda want to play a big screen MH before worlds comes out.

I just don't understand how they weren't already preparing the localisation.
XX could've had a worldwide launch in August and then World would come out in 2018 in it's own window with no overlapping promotion between the two titles.
With this schedule I would've bought both but I honestly don't know if I'll bother with World now. Purposely abandoning a platform and set of fans is not something I'm supporting.

so.... what are my options if I wanna continue to play portable mohun (like on the can for example)?
like either import or get a notebook?
with no switch version for world (for whatever reason), the future looks bleak -_-
ugh, "disappointed" doesn't come even close to describe it

But hey I cant transfer my generations save data to XX now, so we're still screwed and this is still a problem no matter how happy about world you are

They're all remakes, they were greenlit to milk money out of the 3DS's fanbase. Nintendo does this every generation, make new games to get people to buy in, later sell them remakes.
Come on lol
Where at?

I got notification from Play Asia, was wondering if many Gaffers were interested in importing... I mean we still don't know for sure whether NA will get a localization, but I might bite on this.

Bought Generations last week for 3DS and I totally forget how bad the screen is...
So I think about getting the Japanese Switch version! Is there a good walkthrough online for XX?

Not putting Monster Hunter on the Switch (in NA/EU) is madness.
Not putting Monster Hunter on the Switch (in NA/EU) when you have a finished product, basically ready to go, already partially localised available... is staggeringly incompetent and unbelievably bad decision making on their part. I literally can not believe how stupid that decision is.

I wouldn't hold my breath. There won't be any localization and if there is one it would be around Summer 2018. Lol
F**K you Capcom
Also probably published by Nintendo, like Stories in the west.
Yeah Capcom has clearly decided to basically pretend it doesn't exist while they push World- late Spring next year is the absolute earliest it would come out, and by then they will probably just say screw it and focus on the next switch title.
Nope. Capcom is still likely going to either localize XX at some point or localize the next portable MH . They don't want it eating world's lunch in the west unril after it's had it's time in the spotlight. There's a significant amount of people who will only play this portable if they had a choice. It would be what Capcom stupidly did to GC RE4 again with the PS2 port essentially, though this is about localization of a port rather than a port altogether .

I've never been a fan of a game series like this that has such seeming contempt for its fans.
Im excited to play World on PC, but to hold back the localization of XX on the platform on which it makes the most sense is really beyond the pale.

I have an order coming from amiami in September, so I'm just getting it from there, and waiting a little to save on the shipping.

Nice!! We're gonna need a Double Cross meet up / hunt thread so everyone can get together!

Can you guys stop bumping this thread? Or at least change the title. This is too soon. The dream is dead.
You can't even transfer saves from Switch to Switch heh heh.
Ordered a copy for import. Fuck Capcom, hope it fails if they do bring it west..
What the fuck even is this?
Then again, judging by the performance of Mario Kart 8D local multiplayer, which keeps disconnecting everyone if they aren't all really really close to each other, maybe playing MH in local mode is not particularly suited for Switch, at least until Nintendo fixes whatever is causing that issue.

Damn I wasn't aware of this issue but it seems quite widespread. Any word from Nintendo on that matter?

Pre-ordered on Amazon JP a while ago. Is there any incentive to pre-ordering on Play-Asia?
This has been a problem since the 3ds launch. I still remmeber the random disconnwcts on mk7. Thats why whenever friends come over to play mh we play online, no disconnects when using a online room.
There's a pub session of Mario Kart 7 every week around here, all local play, no disconnects. Has been going on for years. Maybe they resolved the issue you mention? I certainly don't remember anything like that myself
A guy I know is having an interesting back and forth via email with the UK Nintendo Support about this. So far, they managed to avoid a direct reply. Link to a big screengrab of the conversation:
https://i.nyx.cz/files/00/00/17/26/1726448_1555de2638925a7249fb.png?name=NUKCS.png
tl;dr: In response to elaborate descriptions of the issue, they've sent two prepared responses about how they are sorry that his joycons are having issues. In the third response, they seem to have acknowledged that the issue is not with the joycons. Now they are asking whether it's local or online (in the query, there are lines like "we are all in the same room"... but yeah, why not just assume that they choose to do what Anteo above me does, instead of just using local wireless). They clearly aren't really reading the mails they receive at all at first, trying to buy time, maybe in anticipation that the customer may resolve his issues without their help. There seems to be some progress though.
still tl:dr: they are throwing generic responses at him, maybe it would be better to send a query to their PR team. Any journalists in here?

You get to pay more if you order from Play-Asia. Otherwise, if you're not in the US, I think Play-Asia might play nicer with the way customs works in European countries, but I could be wrong.
Apparently, Japan Expo in Paris has MHXX Switch on the Nintendo booth.

Considering it's branded as XX and not as Generations, it probably means nothing about it coming to the west,but...
