The Wii released in November 2006 and got its own Monster Hunter game in Monster Hunter Tri less than three years later on August 1, 2009, in Japan.
The 3DS released in February 2011 and got its own Monster Hunter game in Monster Hunter 4 ~2.5 years later on September 14, 2013 in Japan.
The Wii U never got its own Monster Hunter for obvious reasons, though it did get a port of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
Comparatively, the Switch has waited longer than any previous Nintendo platform that could be considered a success despite selling much faster than the 3DS and selling on par or better than the Wii time-aligned in many regions. Would Capcom still release a Switch Monster Hunter title at this point, or are they focused on next-gen?
