Pretty much; a proper, full-blooded MH for Switch would be a megaton seller, especially given not only Switch's colossal success, especially in Japan, but World broadening the reach of the series in the West.

If they put the effort in, 10 million plus is absolutely achievable.

It just makes no business sense at all to half-arse it and just do a spin-off, port, or low effort entry, but you never know with Capcom, they seem to always look for a way to shortchange Switch owners.

I find it baffling that this hasn't happened already. This is the most slam-dunk, guaranteed money-making venture in all of Japanese-market gaming outside of Animal Crossing. We are three years in, and the only MH to show for on the only handheld on the market (and one of the hottest selling consoles of all time that is comfortably in its prime!) is a port of a port...

It's like EA pulled Capcom aside from the lunch table and whispered some bad things about Nintendo or something.

Exactly, we should've had a new Monster Hunter for Switch already and the fact we haven't makes zero business or common sense.

They've been literally just leaving a potential 10 million plus seller on the table for years now, just because they have this bizarre aversion to supporting one of the fastest selling systems in history.

I honestly struggle to think of a bigger ignored opportunity in the gaming industry in recent years.
