Pretty excited for this.  It has been a while since this series has been on an home console. Last one in the west for a home console was MH3U on the Wii U in 2013. I will have to grab a Switch if this announced for the west.

I called it! I so called it! People doubted me, but I saw the signs! Super stoked.

Yeah, okay.


I hope it looks great with the more powerful hardware. I would be a disappointment if it was some quick-and-dirty up-rez.

I'm glad to see this simply because there were rumblings that Capcom was going to use Ultra Street Fighter II as a barometer for whether or not they should support the Switch.  Considering how overpriced that game is that was going to be a poison pill on par with Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U.  But this WILL sell so Capcom will be doing a better "test" of the Switch market.

Though the Switch is selling well enough that a third party being quick to abandon it doesn't make any sense.  The Wii U was on shaky ground from the start.

Considering that Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Wii U was a quick 'n dirty up-rez, I think that's what we can expect from this, especially if there is cross-play like MH3U had between Wii U and 3DS.

Who doubted it...?

Just some people on reddit. Every time I posted about how it was inevitable someone would pooh-pooh me and dismiss the proof that had been appearing online. That and I bet money in the pool on it happening for E3. So I've had two predictions be correct. Just wanted to revel in something nice in life, no matter how small a victory it was.

August 25th! It is releasing August 25th in Japan!


The presentation is going on right now in Japan. Gaijin Hunter is live tweeting updates.


Hopefully this means a pretty quick turnaround for the West.

I saw some tweets about that.  But the NeoGAF post cited as the source said "how" and not "if".
