Yea the 3ds is obviously holding it back

Looks like your typical PS2 game HD remake.

You know your FFX HD and what have you.

But it's not graphics that matters. What was most exciting to hear was how the whoel cross platform seems to be just amazing. Basically the is another 3ds for thsi game. You can play with 3ds owners, you can transfer data back adn forth.

Does the switch let you play locally with other 3DS? I know it can with other switches.

It's not a valid comparison due to the resolution being stretched out multiple times over what is intended. The 3DS screens are not even close to as big as those screenshots. In other words, the game looks FAR better on a 3DS screen than in those shots.

So true. Also the 3D effect adds a lot to the experience. 

So as expected, the kind of barebones spit-and-polish seen in HD remasters like MH3U on Wii U and the console version of RE Revelations, where image quality is cleaned up but the game still looks extremely simplistic and dated.

Hopefully XX is the dying gasp of the 3DS era of Monster Hunter. The series has been held back for far too long.

Gee, there's a bold prediction. :P Naturally I'm not, the system is capable of graphics superior to PS3/360/Wii U, and this looks like an up-res'd Gamecube game.

This will look pretty good on a 6" screen even if it's only a 3Ds port

Both are fugly. This series needs a game built from the ground up in HD.

It's not even so much that the graphics suck, which they do, it's more the sheer laziness with which Capcom treats the series. Despite the series being a huge seller, they invest no effort or passion in it at all and just do the bare minimum.

Pretty much every release since MH3 has copy-pasted the same old monsters, maps, weapons, assets, etc over and over and over again. How many fucking times do I have to fight Lagiacrus, Rathian, Tigrex, Nargacuga, etc on Deserted Island, Misty Peaks, Volcano, all with the same graphics, the same behaviours, the same sound effects...

It's reached a point that would make Call of Duty and FIFA cringe. The series is more stagnant than a petri dish of sewerage.

So true.

Switch vs PS2 version
