Posted May 26, 2017 IIRC, Nintendo helps with the localisation, testing and publishing of Monster Hunter outside of Japan so that'd be a massive hurdle to overcome if they went multiplatform The 8-4 guys have done a couple of the localisations . Nintendo do promote the game but Sony also done some marketing of Unite when that was released, but it wasn't pushed as hard as what Nintendo tend to do with this series. Just goes to show the state Capcom are in when they can't even get their own games out. I mean, just look at Dead Rising 3 on the Xbox and Street Fighter V on the PS4.

Posted May 26, 2017 IIRC, Nintendo helps with the localisation, testing and publishing of Monster Hunter outside of Japan so that'd be a massive hurdle to overcome if they went multiplatform I kinda forgot about that. Funny to think that the series suddenly started reviewing quite a bit better as soon as Tri came out. (Was gonna be released on PS3, but it was too expensive, nothing to do with what I'm saying but still interesting) I remember something being said about some peeps at Ninty giving pointers on making Tri more accessible. Worked like a charm on me. I loved Tri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 27, 2017 Releasing 25th August in Japan, with cross play with 3DS and also data transfer between 3DS and Switch versions. Also a Switch bundle being released with a themed dock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 27, 2017 Splatoon 2 in July. This in August. Potentially Pokemon a couple of months later. R.I.P Japan. I wonder if we get it around the same time, then? Here's hoping. We have Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, possibly this and Pokemon, Xenoblade 2, the Rabbids game, Fire Emblem Warriors and whatever the indies are cooking up. E3 is shaping up very nicely.

Hopefully a e3 announcement for us for this, is that where they usually western release dates? Indeed though, Japan is going to be getting the bulk of Switch consoles to keep up with this release schedule, I always thought it was Japanese centric... confirmed!

Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Being able to transfer saves from Generations (X, not XX) is nice. That's compatibility for us here in the west sorted Otherwise yeah, it's exactly the same deal as MH3U, cross save/cross platform play and all. That's a really early release date! Dare I hope for a September release for us here in the west? Edited May 27, 2017 by Dcubed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They should have the vast majority of the translation done though through the first game, shouldn't they? Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk Well most of the text will be the same as in Monster Hunter Generations, a game that came out roughly a year ago in the west. The only thing that would need translating is the new content. They would surely have had long enough to translate the new content by September. I reckon it's doable (and it's a good month to release in, especially considering that it would comfortably after Splatoon 2 and comfortably before the likes of Mario Odyssey.)

Posted May 30, 2017 I see there are rumours going around that Sony have locked in Monster Hunter 5 as a PS4 exclusive coming out in 2018. No idea if they are true or not but I'd be much more likely to play that than a 3DS port. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 30, 2017 Sounds very unbelievable to me. Yeah it does seem very unlikely considering the portable popularity of the series. Still though, would be massive for Sony if true. There was talk it would carry on with portable versions, just not the mainline series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be nice to have a MH game that isn't being held back by hardware. If it does come to the PS4 I wonder what excuse Capcom give this time if they keep the 4 player town setup. Bring back the PS2 8 player towns! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 30, 2017 I could see 5 going multi platform, in fact I think I'd be surprised if it didn't at this stage; could release it on Switch and PS4 and get the best of both worlds with hopefully more appeal with PS4 as well as the great start and momentum of Switch. PS4 exclusive would probably be a short term financial gain from the exclusive deal with a long term fail when it loses the portability, I reckon. I'd also quite like to have the heads of Timmy and Tommy Nook on each shoulder of my Nook Jr armour set... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 14, 2017 So basically, "we don't wanna, get Ninty to localise it"? It's not looking good for my little "family plus N-Europe peep hunting get together" The majority of the bloody localisation's done already, is it really that hard? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
