I figure it might be worthwhile splitting this off from the MHXX thread.

The reason this is could hold some water is because this post apparently leaked MHXX's name some hours before the MH Direct. So I dunno. This just sounds like 3rd gen MH all over again.

This makes sense for several reasons:
- Monster Hunter on consoles always have been bigger than on handhelds
- Street Fighter V is proof that being exclusive to the PS4 actually pays off for Capcom
- The MonHun franchise is strong in Japan but stronger in the west which makes the shift to homeconsoles plausible
- The huge userbase they've built on the 3DS which is attached to the mainline series and jumping towards the Switch in the future would probably understand why they would have to play the Portable series and not object because in general the Japanese are very polite

Kinda excited for this!

 

[Fandangox]

Did you read Nibel's post before quoting it

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Oh, Nibel. Love it.

 

[entremet]

Lmao

Nibel snags another.

 

[dan2026]

I doubt it.

Consoles are virtually dead in Japan.

Monster Hunter for mobile is more likely.

 

[El Topo]

Can't find fault in Nibel's reasoning.

 

[Orayn]

I am fully convinced by your random anonymous greentext post.

 

[NateDrake]

So you link to a post mocking this rumor but still thought this rumor seemed realistic enough to make a thread?

 

[KZXcellent]

Did... did you read tha--

nevermind

 

[Zen_Arcade]

I think all those jokes went way over your head OP.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

lol

 

[rekameohs]

I heard a rumor that the new Smash has Goku in it

 

[Slime]

So we source rumors from weeaboo Stormfront now?

 

[Nanashrew]

Nibel has reached a new plane with his comment. How did I miss that? lmao.

 

[GrizzNKev]

got em :^)

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

*4chan rumor*

 

[Nickle]

4chan and a joke Gaf post lol

 

[James Scott]

Nibel's post makes sense. Basically confirmed.

Spoiler

Don't see Capcom ditching handhelds for unknown reasons potentially messing with their most stable money maker.

 

[wapplew]

SFV exclusive pay off?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Lmao

 

[Cerium]

Nibel has the best words.

 

[Chindogg]

Great job Nibel. You're the best.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I heard a rumor that the new Smash has Goku in it

Dude, that sounds new-threadworthy!

 

[Malvingt2]

are you telling me that Capcom wants to take the same risk with MH5 as they did with SFV?

 

[Mr. Pointy]

So you link to a post mocking this rumor but still thought this rumor seemed realistic enough to make a thread?

It apparently got MHXX's name right. Everyone knew it was going to be a G expansion to MHX, but no one knew it was going to be called Double Cross.

I don't believe it, but I'd rather not derail the MHXX thread.

 

[Oersted]

Nibeeelll!!!

 

[sinxtanx]

get played boi

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

REEEEE

that post was well after the direct

 

[Cess007]

That Nibel quote. Oh, OP xD

 

[metalslimer]

Lol

 

[Sou Da]

You really wanted this to be true huh?

 

[squidyj]

i mean yeah it sounds ridiculous but I'd honestly be pretty psyched if it happened :/

 

[Loris146]

Ahahahahaha

 

[XenodudeX]

If there was a MH for the PS4 in the works, wouldn't' Capcom had already announced that already seeing they just announced another one for the 3DS?

 

[lyrick]

are you telling me that Capcom wants to take the same risk with MH5 as they did with SFV?

Why would they not be in a hurry to return to the Sony Console sales baseline? It's not like they were way worse than MH3U on the Wii U.

 

[Faustek]

Lol

.

 

[benny_a]

This is pretty dumb.

A joke post that was instantly recognized as such more than a day ago is being used in a thread about a rumor you don't believe yourself.

 

[Producer]

cant tell if the op is serious or not

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

I mean one letter is changed. Oh no!

And we discussed this while playing Wow! Such credence.

 

[wwm0nkey]

I just don't see this happening MH is too successful on Nintendo now, the most you can hope for is Tencent's MMO coming over (iirc Capcom gets to use all of MHOs models and textures if they want)

 

[rpg_fan]

Bravo, Nibel.

SONY is desperate for Japan

SONY pays for a western focused Monster Hunter game

makes total sense

 

[Soriku]

>mfw

 

[Ibuki]

Delete everything from the OP except for Nibel's post.

It's the only way.

 

[Azuran]

OP is one of those people that takes spam seriously, isn't he?

 

[Joqu]

Guys I just read this post on neogaf dot com and i think i should make a thread

Sounds legit.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Lol. Nobel strikes again. Hilarious

Didn't they port Feontier Z which is doing... "ok"?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I hear Devil May Cry 5 is going to be PC exclusive.

I also hear that Ace Attorney 7 is in development exclusively for Windows phones.
