I DID MY WAITING. 3 YEARS OF IT. EVERYONE SAID CAPCOM WOULD NEVER DO IT.
I shouldn't join the feast unitl the game is announced, one shall not underestimate the might of the monkey's paw
2021FY Prediction in Japan : 3.05m
2021FYQ1 Result in Japan : 1.1m
You're right, I was thinking the same thing and had regrets and fear just as I had sent the post 😱
Sounds like they are going to have to up their forecasts, even if MHS releases the very last week of the FY.
When do you think MH Switch will be released? You reckon February/March?
He will go "see ? Told you !" when the game will sell 9.8 million
Place your bets, how will any Monster Hunter showcased in the Partner Showcase look compared to Riders?
February is already not an option imho given 3D World with the expansion, that game is a big deal, doesn't really make sense to release 2 big titles the same month.
LOL Monster Hunter is Twitter trending in Germany. ^^
I don't think this is funny? Could you stop that please?
I don't think this is funny? Could you stop that please?
I'm guessing he doesn't know what a switch or a monster hunter is
Probably WAY more realistic for MHS. Stories 2 will probably go the chibi route like the first game.
I think it's most likely March but both games can be released in the same month - remember when Nintendo and third parties released a bunch of games in September 2019.
Dude relax, I am joking and just messing with you. But I will stop.
January and March seem like good months for Capcom so I'm guessing RE8 in January then MH in March. Could be the other way round though.
I think March is likely, with that said - those games wouldnt affect each other.
Nintendo has released multiple first part games themselves in a single month, not sure why a big game by a third party and first party suddenly would be impossible.
I hope it's sooner lmao, I legit can't wait to play it.
By the way, this is going to sound cheesy but thank you so much for giving us the hints back in 2017 and the last years even though majority have said that MH on Switch would never happen.
MH is literally trending in UK/EU Twitter. I'm seeing so much hype and others in despair lol
Well, Yes
Without going crazy it could sell 4 millions in Japan and 6/7 worldwide?
Honestly, I want it to be more like World. And with World being a smash hit it would be weird if they didn't take lessons.
lol, who's despairing? if people think it's not happening there's no cause for despair
I think this game might have a shot of massively topping the previous MonHun games on Nintendo portables.
They will market the shit out of this game and Switch userbase is embracing good software so far.
Oh, without a doubt. The West didn't give a shit about Monster Hunter when 3U/4U/Generations came out. Very little fucks given. Japan carried those games and, to be fair, to a ridiculous degree. I know we all know how big MH is in Japan but I don't think it can ever be over emphasised. I was in Japan one year and saw a massive line down the street one day. Presumed it was a hot restaurant before the lunch rush or something. Nope, it was an opticians who were launching a new range of Monster Hunter glasses (just regular eye glasses with a MH logo on the frame) and people were literally queueing down the street to get them. I went back the following year and it was the week or two around the launch of MHX and they had the Monster Hunter theme on repeat blasting out over the loud speakers across the main crossing and at Shibuya and the surrounding streets for literally the whole two weeks I was there.
Now that the West has caught up (to an extent - obviously not to the same degree), a new Switch entry will do crazy numbers worldwide.
When you consider how well Switch software is selling in Japan, it's a bit crazy to think what a MH Switch game could do there alone.
It will easily top Portable 3rd which is currently the highest selling MH game there I believe? So you've already got 5-6m+ sales locked in long term.
I think it would easily do similar numbers worldwide given how well Switch is doing everywhere, some Nintendo marketing and Monster Hunter's increased popularity. Beast.
Yup when presented it like that (I don't think many would've guessed it if I hadn't mentioned Capcom was plotting for 4 big titles in the 2020 fiscal year though), and was originally the plan, but obviously some things got a bit bumpy this year too.
Between COVID & the Ono debacle, I can understand. I'd imagine that said Ono situation set back whatever other fighting games may have been in the pipeline (Ex: A Versus game).
Do you think SF VI, Pragmata and RE4 are all launching in the next fiscal year?
Given how long SFV Season 5 is going for (all the way to Fall 2021), I honestly wouldn't expect SFVI until Q1 2023 (maybe H2 2022 if we're lucky).
I think you also mentionned a medium sized game too right ? Is it still on track for the FY ?
I saw quite a few tweets getting pissed/annoyed by the thought of MH Switch instead of next gen consoles. Which is weird because they will get it in a few years.
Some people probably think that the existence of a switch game slows down or is a threat to world 2.
Yeah, I know...
Give it a little time, of course it's coming. Support of world just stopped.
Edit :
Sorry for dp
There most likely is, but we won't see MH6/W2 for a while. MHW support is just about to end. MH Switch is basically to keep us satisfied in the meantime.
There is, don't worry. 6th gen MH (Next Gen) will be in 2023 earliest.
It would be pretty naive to think that. Just don't expect it for some good 1 1/2 to 2 years. MH Switch was probably done by Ichinose's team, the second MH team.
E:
Especially if the main team also moves to RE Engine.
of course there is. but it's most likely a next gen game and won't be released before 2022/2023.
It's been confirmed / rumoured that these are Capcom next titles
- Monster Hunter Switch
- Resident Evil 8
- Resident Evil 4
- Street Fighter 6
- Pragmata
- Itsuno next project (Dragon's Dogma?)
- Monster Hunter World 2
The answer to this is surely to ask yourself if it makes sense for Capcom to not develop a follow up to a game that sold 15m copies.
It's a matter of when, not if.
MH Stories 2 has also been rumored. And I'd be shocked if we don't get a Versus game of some kind.
I'll say this, at this very moment I know of a few other games you didn't list there currently in development.
But now is absolutely not the time to talk about them.
