Didn't they have an exclusivity deal with Monster Hunter, and that's the reason why it's not on the Vita?

some people speculate that and its certainly possible but nobody seems to know for sure, i dont think Nintendo or Capcom has ever come out and said they had an exclusive contract.

but like i said, if there is no exclusivity contract than a multiplat release on Switch/PS4/XBO is possible and might even be a good idea.

we have to remember that all mainline MH titles have been developed on SD devices all in the same general power range (PS2/PSP/Wii/3DS) so the series will be making the biggest graphical leap it ever has and will likely be the first mainline HD title meaning development costs could increase significantly and releasing on multiple devices increases the likelihood for increased sales to offset higher dev costs.

Didn't Monster Hunter 3 come to the WiiU? Was that version just a direct port of the Wii one?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

yes MH3 on Wii U was a port of the Wii/3DS game. various MH games have been ported to HD consoles but there has never been a mainline MH game built from the ground up for an HD device.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Gonna be on Switch with a PS4(maybe PC/Xbox too) ports as well. That way they get both JPN and Western markets. It's not gonna be a native PS4/Xbox game, it's like the Vita ports the PS4 is getting.

Actually pretty straightforward what they mean.



If it´s about growing the franchise in the West, then that can´t really be done without including PS4/XB1/PC



I wonder how much would the PS4/XB1 help the franchise in West.

Here's the rumor from 4chan

Guy knew about MHXX before direct

- MH5 PS4 exclusive (paid by SONY)
- portable series coming to Switch



Yeah, sounds like it could be a multiplat. The question is on which platforms? Switch seems a given at this point, and PS4 is the bigger brand between it and Xbox. So, will the Xbox get it? I'm not entirely sure, but maybe.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Please make a Monster Hunter which has good graphic unlike the 3DS games!

Nintendo Switch covers handheled gamers in Japan and console gamers in US/Europe. This news basically confirms that they are working on Monster Hunter XX HD for Switch for its launch period.
