Because owners of those support can buy MHW or will be able to in the next month (PC), why would they care about XX ? XX is a great game, but going back to it after MHW is auto-mutilation. MHXX has more content, but that's it, MHW can offer 170h of content and have everything else going for it.
Cash grab and 1:1 port sell well on Switch (Bomberman, USFII, to a lesser extent : MHXX in japan and so on). Publishers like Capcom have good reasons to throw cash-grab ports on Switch : they bring easy profits and MHGU is exactly that. It's a good move from Capcom business wise.
Edit : forgot the S in "the next monthS" above, in the first line.

when MH4U was coming out, people were hyping it up by comparing it to Dark Souls due to weapon weights, timing importance, hitboxes and shit. it was pretty widespread
WOW, I know that worls has more gameplay variety in the monsters but that is a huge difference.
Revolsin is referring to the fact that this game is a Switch port of a 3DS title. I'm referring to the fact that this is just a localisation of said game.
I think it depends on how people count the variants/sub-species. There's a big difference between the ones that look largely like the basic one but are just more aggressive/faster with an extra ability or two, and those whose attack pattern changes completely and requires wildly different tactics. Even then, I wouldn't care to guess how exactly they count it!
So basically what I'm hearing is that World is kind of the more approachable, casual experience with less content yet more QoL improvements, yet this appears to be the true core MH experience yet not beginner friendly and with less QoL?
I guess I should play World first then. I can probably handle the loss of QoL stuff when I get to this.

As someone who loved the old school style of monster hunter, but skipped the 3DS versions because of the controls, I haven't really gotten that fix other than MH3U on WiiU - I'm so here for this.
While I get how the improvements in MHW generally made the game smoother and easier to play, I personally found the quirks of the old series kind of charming for the most part. I'll be plopping down a preorder as soon as it hits amazon.

In Japan maybe, in the west what made MH huge is MHW. And XX lacks all QoL and weapon and control changes from World.
Before MHW, I would have agree. Now thought?
People here should really pick up their 3DS back and try. The second stick does'nt magically make the game less rigid than before.
For those familiar with XX, does it lay off the uh, completely dogshit gen 1 areas? And the gen 2/1 monsters?
Because MH wasn't good until Gen 3.

"well" being it'll be the best selling portable MH in the west. Mark it.
I wouldn't call World a casual experience. It's still a core MH game. It simply has lots of QoL improvements that make it easier to get into.
I think peeps are going by the fact that Nintendo announced it on their Twitter.
I had been thinking since their earnings statement last week that there could be hope for Monster Hunter on Switch. It's a glacial move on Capcom's part, but a good one.
I'm going to miss the quality of life improvements from World, but I'm going to love playing in local wireless mode with my friends.
World was truly great, but I'm one of those crazies that prefers my monster hunting portable.
Wait, what? I pretty common complaint for World is the lack of variety in those 32 monsters. GU has way more variety.
Most importantly.
Fashion Hunter is back.
Lots of armors and lots of different looks.
Yes this is relevant.

Yeah, that's the smart way to do it. World is an incredible game too, I'd say one of Capcom's best games ever. Do that, get hooked, then go back to Generations Ultimate.
Also you're still blocked, thx
Consider that to casual audiences who learned of the series with World, the differenciation doesn't exist. All they know is that this is a new MH, for the hot new console.
Gen 3 is literally the worst gen tho
Funny enough, each 3ds mh game was more beginner friendly than the last one!
I think is just pure hyperbole and fanboy drift to call MHW "casual". Bringing very necessary controls and QoL tweaks is not making a game casual...
And it also lacks a ton of content. I think a lot of newcomers from MHW will give this game a try. So much more content
On a real roll.
Let World flounder with no meaningful content on a base with no meaningful end-game content.
Take a year to release a localization of a dated game *after* the next gen release.
Lose the PC release of World in the woods.
That's cacpcom alright.

You got it.
And there are a lot of those people now considering MHW's sales. MH Switch isn't doing a bit less than a million.
Yes
I think phendrift meant it's more casual. World is certainly not a casual game, it's just more so than old style MH.
It's cool that I can import my Generation 3DS file, but I doubt I can go back to pre-World MH games.
Most of that should'be already been localised with the MH Generations release, though. The reason is more likely that they wanted to focus the message on MHW.
Apparently Sony paid for no switch version in the west. Which makes me not care about this at all on a matter of principle.
