Its in Japan, they are the slowest country and switching to new consoles. This will only be on 3ds and won't affect its sales.

Actually Japan from what I've seen switches faster than other countries.

Old platforms die much more quickly once a "successor" is announced/released in Japan (ie: Famicom died very quickly after Super Famicom launch, GBA fizzled out quickly after DS, in the US and Europe it took much longer for a transition, etc. etc. etc.). 

Probably part of the reason why Nintendo is cautious calling the system a "portable" for now because they don't want 3DS sales to stop right away, particularly in Japan where it's the 3DS' biggest market. 

The ps3 is still getting games released on it in Japan and basically no other country.  Same thing happened with the psp,  it just hung around for ages.

Given the fact that Capcom announces a new Monster Hunter every few weeks (only a slight exaggeration)...
You're probably right...



Have a nice day...

This interesting because Laura said that Switch will be released in Europe on 18. March.

Oh, well there we have it!

I'm actually not certain of Monster Hunter XX launching on Switch even it seems a no brainer. Hopefully this all turns out to be true.

The series was announced, but no specific game itself was announced. 

I think you will see Monster Hunter XX AND Monster Hunter 5 (Switch only) announced together for NS on Jan. 12. Just a hunch. 

It's Monster Hunter, Nintendo is going to want to have it be a key part of that event IMO. 

It's the same difference. I just think you're reading too far into this, even if it does happen.

Kind of a contradiction, no?

Popular game normally on Nintendo systems lines up with the release of new Nintendo system. Its certainly not a full blown conclusion but it's a logical assumption, we know developers are being iffy about Switch announcements, "they would have announced it" is no longer a concrete counter argument.

That's a sound theory.

MH being on switch at launch is interesting, and totally posible.

As for he date itself, I don't know why people even bother to talk about it, we have known that it will be in march for a long time. Does it really matter if it's the 1st or the 31st of march?

Sounds too good to be true. I mean even nintendo are releasing pokemon games just before its release. I dunno Nintendo just seem to do everything opposite that you expect.

I think its because this could lead to other rumors being true. There was another rumor that supported this date. 

 

Or make people like Emily Rogers or other sources being more reliable.

Imo this is a new Nintendo that we are seeing. Especially with a new person in charge.

Exactly, for now Nintendo is doing right thing for Switch. Monster Hunter could easily be one of launch games, while Pokemon IMO would big 2017. holiday game.
