Monster Hunter XX Switch Trailer. August 25. Save Transfers. 3DS Cross Play. Bundle.

Would it though? He gets a Japanese copy, sets Switch to Japan mode, transfers save, flips it back to US (?) and his save should be there, don't see how it wouldn't work that way

Guess i got to finish up some things in monster hunter cross to get prepared for double cross on the switch.

I considered this, but I'm pretty sure save files on the Switch are tied to the account, so If I wanted to switch (HAHA!) back to my NA account, I don't think I could keep the save file, even if it would let me play the game in English.
If I read the post right, he wants to use his Japanese save on the English version of the game. I don't think any system ever made has allowed you to do that without an external, unofficial save file converter?

How much content does XX have compared to Generations and prior games? The wikia doesn't have a comparison on their page, hell for a game two months old, they've done like NOTHING in it...
From the trailer, it looks like that they're doing this by having them share the same online servers. It doesn't look like it has proper local play between Switch and 3DS.
You can't transfer a Generations save file to XX, so I don't see why X to Double Generations would work.
Ew no.
Monster Hunter combat is elegant and rewarding of skill, and hopefully it stays that way.
If we look at the current holiday lineup, Mario Odyssey and Fire Emblem Warriors are kind of the only exclusives that could sell over 2 million units. That's supposed to cover September-December. Both seem heavily single-player.
I also doubt they're launching their new paid online network without a game.
that's an odd statement to make?? I can name several games which have received ports with extra features add to it. (Mario kart 8)

The Art Direction looks a lot nicer when it's uprezzed. Yeah, I'll take this. The monsters look lovely. Could care less about ground textures, when the stars of the show look great.
People like them usually goes like this:
MH: Retool the game pls makes it easier and not clunky
Non-MH hunting game: poor MH's clone lmao will not play
You can win against them I guess.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a port that came out several years after the original release. XX was released on the 3DS March of this year. I don't think it's fair to make that comparison.

Great. Game'll look perfectly acceptable. At least for me. I live for those animations more than those textures, getting to see them in more detail will be a treat.
I need a GIF of that bit at 1:16 with the Rathalos.Looks good, i mean, about what i expected
Improved resolution and shadows are all I notice.

MK8 on Switch is called MK8 Deluxe.
MHXX Switch version is releasing on the same year as MH XX for 3DS. It is a quick and dirty port, but nothing really implied it would be otherwise.
I'm assuming 30fps? 3DS runs at that right?
fair or not there's sufficient precedent for such expectations imo is all i'm saying.

New 3DS runs at a higher framerate than 30fps. Uncapped. Floats in the mid 40s I'm pretty sure.

Didn't DF say it was 30fps capped unlike MH4?

How is the combat in any way a crapshoot? It was designed for substance rather than Dragon's Dogma's style.

Maybe I am thinking MH4U?

Monster Hunter's combat as a whole is so far above Dragon's Dogma, it's not funny.

Yes, there is sufficient "precedent" for ports released several years after the original release to have additional features. This is not even nearly the situation XX Switch is in. You're free to have whatever expectations you want, but to think XX Switch would be anything other than a direct port with a higher resolution is unrealistic and a little deluded imo.

Well, this isn't really HD MH. It's more like 3 Ultimate only on the Switch. So think PS2 visuals with some AA and higher resolution.
I'm pretty sure 4U was pretty successful actually. Not a monster like Japan, but it did break a million across the seas.

Yes. Capcom was happy with 3U's western performance, 4U sold over a million units outside Japan, and Generations had a strong launch in NA, placing pretty high on the NPD charts during release month.

HD means High Definition.
MH4U sold a million in the West in a month.
No reason it shouldn't run at 60 tbh
Multiplayer parity is a reason.

You can say that about a lot of games and they don't.
It won't be 60 FPS.
That's a given but it's nice to have a confirmation.
