Well, that was beyond evident given that few japanese came for it, save the exclusive projects, in 2017.I mean, Capcom is a prime example of that with MH World, though you could say that its simply Capcom being Capcom.

And well, thats also an unfortunate news, since I would like to play many japanese games on my Switch.Well, hopefully they get those developers back to work and being incentivized with a whip, because I want those games as soon as possible!

MH World started development before the Switch was a thing.

MH XX tho? They ported it to the Switch, but released it 3 months after launch? When it could have been a launch title? That's Capcom.

True, but they didn't even invite Nintendo to the negociations while they certainly must have known some details about the Switch by that point. So clearly they must have been thinking that the NX (as the Switch was still known by that point) would be a flop.

As for Koei Tecmo, yeah they are supporting the Switch... in Japan! But why are they not bringing their games to the west? Similar thing with Sqeenix, where's DQH I&II?
