I honestly don't know the answer to that. I would guess maybe though? Maybe it was a deal for like one exclusive game at first and then once they saw how well that one sold then they just kept it on 3DS? I'm just guessing though. I do remember hearing about how Nintendo helped to promote the games and such for Capcom, or something like that, so maybe that had something to do with it as well. |
If there was a deal, does that make Nintendo shady too?
If Sony actually bought exclusivity for Japan i think it was a good move, it will help to sell tons of PS4s.
If Nintendo had a deal during the 3ds and MH3/4/X era, that was probably one of the most genius and savage moves ever done, that deal almost single handedly killed their competition in the handheld market.
I think we are underestimating just how greedy Capcom can actually be, maybe Sony bought exclusivity, or Capcom just want PS4/Switch owners to double dip.
"oh it's not coming to the Switch? Might as well get it on PS4"
Then, 3 months later, they release MHW on the Switch too, and many buy it again for portability.
And them Capcom releases MHW Ultimate with G rank 6 months later instead of selling it as DLC like a normal company would do.
