It's a PS4 exclusive in Japan and I think if the leaker got Monster World right along with Sony paying them to not port it to a nintendo platform, I don't think it means nothing. They even mentioned Sony didn't care if it came to Xbox One/PC. They also predicted a Monster Hunter XX port for Switch.

While I can't say it's definitely real, just that it certainly has something to it. It also mentions some sort of Monster Hunter Portable 5 from the main monster hunter team coming to Switch at some point after Capcom got cold feet about skipping out on and risking their Japanese audience. So if it does come true maybe Capcom are smarter than we think.

I think user Green098 already gave the appropriate answer.

Define hilarious.

OT: Not surprising from a company that can hardly make other solid business decisions. Unlike what some guy in this thread said, I think most people could run Capcom better than whoever is currently at the helm.

These aren't the damn Chunin exams. Stop this BS capcom

why re-release XX to Switch where the 3Ds sold very well already. Why not release World to Switch?

There are a plethora of games that are exclusive to PS4 in Japan that get Xbox version WW that Sony didn't pay a dime. And in this case the game is Japan PS4 exclusive and WW will go to X1 and PC so that is hardly a certainty that Sony paid for it.

We all know Switch is a lot weaker than the other platforms so that can be the sole reason for it not being on it. Not to forget game developing starts a long time before reveals, so it could be decided as exclusive even before Switch anouncement or even release.

And sure the leaker may be right, or he may have just heard something on the announcement from off-hands and fabricated a leaking to his taste, do we have the guy history as a leaker? Because we also have several leakers that invent everything, and then erase the wrong leaks.

Yes, he gave. Something you haven't had and that your initial post was very far from.

And there are plenty of games where Sony did pay for exclusivity. Not just in Japan. The case however is Monster Hunter and the Japanese market, which is the biggest market for the franchise. Sony paid Capcom to keep their main competitor (Switch version) in Japan out.

And we also all know that Capcom was involved in the development of the Switch. So that suggests other reasoning. Besides, Monster Hunter World really doesn't look that graphically intensive, if the Xbox One can run it, a (somewhat lesser) port to the Switch can work.

Sure the leaker could have added more than what is actually true, but when the leaker in this case is so specific, and when evidence shows it after the reveal, I have very little reason to doubt it. Sony is a company that would to that, and so is Capcom as well.

I was in the process of arguing the same thing he did. I just didn't have to. No need to get nasty about it.

Yes there are plenty sure, most of them with public information on it. So sorry for me to not be jumping on believing something without evidence that you threw as certain fact.

If you had posted "Sony may have paid for MHW exclusivity in Japan" or "Sony may have blocked MHW from Switch" I wouldn't bother because yes anything is possible. But when you give certainty you need hard evidence, and still, one leaker isn't hard evidence, that is called rumor even if very possible real.

And I wasn't being nasty on you saying the guy explained or that you were going to explain the same at the same time, but that on all your prior posts you didn't said it.
