The rumour says Switch still has the series on board only it'll be called Portable/Freedom like previously and will carry on like it usually does, apparently it's a way around the deal Sony made, like I said in another thread:
"It's an interesting saga to speculate over and given Capcom in recent years it's not farfetched tbh MHW has been in development for 4 years and it was claimed the deal was done in a similar manner as SFV so it could have been done back then with SFV as it's claimed Nintendo were never even brought in to make a counter bid. It would tie in with the rumour's claims and MHW's development as SFV was announced in 2014 with MHW still under silence as the rumour said Sony wanted then Generations comes out in 2015 in Japan and does well ( it did better in Japan than MH4U) to the point the higher ups in Capcom realize they miscalculated in thinking the portable scene was on the wane as the sales in Japan increased possibly causing the rumoured strife as now if MHW didn't have the impact they hoped for it would mean a massive drop in sales and revenue from before (remember the MH scene was at one point the only thing raking in money for them) with things heating up when SFV underperformed after it launched and now the MHW project is already under way with the deal signed and too expensive to drop. This would explain MHXX being given a Switch version (well the leak says it was rushed out) in preparation for the return of the Portable series as the leak claims as it's much like back with the Wii when the was Tri and Portable 3rd (Freedom 3) so they can maintain the portable scene as it would be too big for them to lose, Switch's performance probably added more drama. Remember that Sony in all respect pulled a good move for their platform's sake but even if MH doesn't surface on Switch after XX Nintendo still have massive hitters for Japan anyway in the likes of Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Tomodachi and such with Capcom probably knowing that's a massive pie to not have a piece of." |
I don't know wtf is happening within Capcom TBH, outside of RE7, everything else has been either super shitty looking or super shitty period lately with them. They better not fuck up the new MvC with like 1 button 60 hit combos or some shit. I'm about to give up on them if this keeps happening. It's like they slowly lost their abilities to pump out good games constantly halfway through the last gen and they used to be one of my favorite devs.
