Monster Hunter V is already in development for the NX, lets get real.

You and I have the same taste in Fire Emblem girls. Not sure if that makes us best friends or worst enemies.

OT: I actually don't have anything to say on the topic. Rol's avatar change is a bigger deal to me than the 10th re-release of this game.

I don't think, initially, there was any deal during the switch to the Wii. It was more that Sony kicked the dog for MH with the 3rdHD debacle. You don't need contractual incentives to just tell a company to fuck off and go to their competitor who also promises to actually give your franchise support in the West and globally.

The Wii port was moderately successful but when the series hit the 3DS and rose to PSP-like successes while the Vita came out with a wet thud and the PSP faded away, that is potentially/probably when deals were actually struck. The co-marketing and localization initiatives (and cross promotional DLC in different entities) that Nintendo then took on with 4U and G, are what I'd think indicate that some sort of contractual partnership was formed and penned by Iwata in his time.

Will that end? At some point, no doubt, though I'd imagine that Nintendo would make future deals very, very attractive for the struggling Capcom to turn down.

Does it matter? Is there much of an audience for these games anywhere but on handhelds at this point? Is it financially tennable or will the RoI be justifiable? Who knows. The fact that they dumped this on the platform, makes me think not at current. This is their token support for everything but the 3DS.

Sadly this will never come to the west, but if it comes for the west i will definitely try it.

 Well, as MH3U was sold more on 3DS than WiiU even in the US and europe I have my doubts that this series appeals more to Westerners if on home console. Although I have to say, it annoys me as fuck that this games aren't on a big screen. I mostly enjoy 3DS-games, but MH should be on home console too.

Seeing as how money is being made more outside of Japan when it comes to hunting games, It won't be too far fetched to see this coming to the west.

Awesome! I wanted to play MH for a while! I had it on PSP and, brother, it was reaaaaally good.

Street Fighter 2 and all its variations say hi...

So, THIRD :D

Honestly, it was only really ported to three systems. The PSP, the XBOX 360, the PS3, and Home Computers. The various versions on the other hand... Yeah, maybe it is.

See my post above.
