Yeah the stiffness and slowness of Monster Hunter is a deliberate design choice. It's not for everyone, but I personally love it, it makes combat feel weighty and risky and really makes it feel like I'm a guy wearing 100kg of scale armour swinging a sword that weighs another 50kg.

It would sell alright, especially in the launch window, but they have to then figure out well is Remake part of the package or are they going to sell them seperately ... or?

No Zelda early on in the Switch 2 window (though probably BOTW/TOTK ports) leaves an opening for Square-Enix to move in with one of their underperforming Final Fantasy games. But I'm guessing Elden Ring with all DLC port is also happening and that's going to get a lot of attention (though that might be more like the Switch 1 having Skyrim early on). 

Yeah I can see Elden Ring or maybe Baldur's Gate 3 being for the successor what Skyrim was for the Switch, that headline 3rd party game early on that Nintendo promotes to show "look, we've got that game you love, but now it's portable!"

Square-Enix still has some catchet with Nintendo, even when they ported the almost 25 year old Final Fantasy VII (the 1997 game) to Nintendo platforms (finally) Nintendo featured it in a TV spot for the Nintendo Switch. So they probably will get a marketing push direct from Nintendo if they opt to go all in on Switch 2 with FF/KH games (Dragon Quest is already a lock) too. But yeah Elden Ring and maybe even Baldur's Gate 3 might be early Switch 2 software, at least there is probably no new Zelda game.
