fuck capcom

It's Capcom. 3/4 of the game will surely be mandatory download.

Meh, a 3ds game and it's still 30fps, this was and still is a lazy port by Capcom.

Obviously it's good news it's coming west though.

Funny how we went from Monster Hunter IV to Monster Hunter XX.

Capcom had no idea how well the Switch would sell when they were working on World. With the huge sales, portability and its popularity in Japan, I don't think we need to worry about them bringing future MH to the Switch in some form.

Honestly it's a pretty solid port it's just held back by 3ds cross play. In terms of what they could have done to improve it in spite of the limitations placed on it they really could not have done much better. 

Sad but true...

Glad we cleared that. But for me Capcom took the strategy that would generate more profit and aligned with their strategy for each game.

MHW wouldn't run ok on Switch, so no Switch version.

SF V they wouldn't have the funds to develop the game until a lot later, so Sony payment allowed them a lot earlier.

This MH wouldn't sell much outside of Switch because of MHW been release very soon and this being a lot "lower" instalment.

MS paid a lot for DR so they got it, perfectly fine.

Hipocrisy should be hold for false accusations without any evidence.

That Street Fighter V story is a crock, it was a straight money hat.  You think SF, one of the most lucrative franchises Capcom has, wasn't going to get a new entry in a relatively timely manner?  They were just hoping to use that line to dodge the PR fallout.  And the funds didn't help finish it, it just motivated them to launch it unfinished.

The DR thing wouldn't be a big deal if it was an MS co-owned IP and not a multiplat one that Capcom just auctions off to the highest bidder whenever they want to pad their bank account.

MHW situation would be somewhat understandable if Capcom hadn't been *massive* dicks and delayed the localization of XX and even denied it was coming over purely to shine a spotlight on World to the detriment of a large consumerbase.  I get it, the Switch's success caught them with their trousers down, somewhat understandable if a bit embarrassing given their success on 3DS.  But to deliberately delay the launch of XX in the west so that they can keep a spotlight on World, thus shafting an entire consumer base in the process.  That's just a massive dick move.  Imagine if it were the other way round, and they refused to localize World so they could hype up XX and gave the entire western audience on PS the finger.

And as for World not running on Switch, having played it in person, I have my doubts.  It depends on the efficiency and scalability of the engine, but I think it could absolutely deliver a satisfactory experience. Capcom just can't be assed.  

Street Fighter IV and its many iterations have sold around 9 million physical copies according VGC. I very much doubt they did not have the funds or intentions on doing a sequel. Mind you I am in the camp that believes even Sony got shafted with SF V, considering they paid for it and Capcom under-delivered (well I mean the core mechanics and game were solid, but it was missing a lot of content at the beginning).
