Oh no it's a 3ds port and it's capcom so they won't put any effort in.

I was hoping for the first MonHun on Switch to be a brand new one. I honestly expected it to be MonHun 5. This is just a 3DS port, XX has been out on the 3DS in Japan for a while now. It will stil sell well, but it's slightly underwhelming news.

Oh well, at least it's here now.

Lol, Japan is still one of the biggest markets out there... Japanese stuff is also incredibly popular in North America. Japanese was the most requested language ever on Duolingo and the status on Facebook that added Japanese to Duolingo is the most liked status on their page.

Thats nice... if it had anything to do with what my post.

I'm obviously referencing Sony and Microsoft.

Both are doing worse than Nintendo in North America... Do well in Japan, do well in the USA.

Now this makes the console a little bit interesting. Afraid it will look quite dated since it's made for 3DS.

INB4 Japan starts importing Switches cause of sudden stock issues.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

This will be very succesful which means the next one will be made for Switch from the ground, great news.

Of course, that's what happened with this title, right?

Sales: 0.69 million according to VGChartz. Hardly "very successful", wouldn't you agree?

A port of a port selling 700k doesnt seem too bad to me, also there is this

http://nintendotoday.com/monster-hunter-3-wii-u/

But either way, Switch is far more successful than Wii U thus far, selling in 1.5 months the same amount it took Wii U over 6 months to sell so MH has a pretty solid shot of doing better.

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
