Monster Hunter Stories and Monster Hunter XX.

While it's a spinoff game, Stories didn't do as well in Japan as Capcom would have liked.  I think, even though Worlds would be a Switch title if anything, Capcom doesn't want the big boys stepping on the toes of Stories in the west.  MH isn't a kid friendly franchise, and I think they'd like to push the spin off that welcomes young players as hard as possible to get them into the mainline games.

This is the same logic for XX.  No reason to compete with yourself in your largest market.  

I realize Worlds doesn't release until next year, but I'm thinking Capcom doesn't want the west skipping Stories and Japan ignoring XX and just waiting on Worlds.

Yeah, and Platinum is just being strategic with not bringing Bayonetta 2 to PS4 and X1. Just doesn't want them skipping out on their other offerings on the console.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
