Capcom: "MHW can't be done on Switch." But might make a Switch specific MH game. (Rumor)

The biggest thing I can think of that might play a role is the amount of things happening off screen. Up to three large monsters can roam the map, interacting with smaller monsters, the environment, and each other independently of the players' intervention. Combine that with its level of graphics (not amazing, but clearly beyond what the Switch can handle) and you've got a game that is currently far from being able to run on Switch. There would likely need to be a significant amount of pop-in needed to make it work, and it might even have to lower the number of roaming monster on the map down to two to run on Switch.

Thing I don't understand is why people are so mad about this when they know for a fact they wouldn't be getting the full gameplay experience and consessions would have to be made to core gameplay aspects which would probably lead to some frustrating hunts and end up and 360 with FPS dips at the lowest. Even if you're a switch only gamer that makes no sense over getting a fresh switch exclusive optimized for the hardware .

Just be thankful there are two series coming out of this downer and don't bite the hand that feeds. 

If you're including me to that group, I couldn't care less. I agree that trying to port MHW to the Switch would accomplish nothing at this point. It would not sell that well, and it would be quite a downgrade (but it would run). 

I actually think it's a good idea to split the franchise. Nevertheless, I am abstaining from everything Capcom. Screw them.
