There are more kids on handhelds than PS4 and they could play with each other anywhere through wireless.

Capcom: "We have Dev plans on a new Monster Hunter targeted to middle-high school kids, like PSP entries did"
- Thread starter Ozzie
- Start date
I only just picked it up because Argos in the UK is slashing the prices on all 3DS stuff. I played the demo but it feels like it was made in response to Yokai Watch's popularity at the time. I just kinda assumed when Stories-like might be the kind of younger audience thing.
MHFU for iOS is the best version of the game. Unfortunately they stopped supporting it a while ago...
I'm excited for classic MH but I'd rather mentally prepare for another gacha mobile spin off..
Probably means a Switch game. Either that or another mobile gatcha
*Also Capcom please put out one more expansion to MHW. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

This FY is the highest they've had in a long time. If RE8 ain't coming, the only other game that'll get it there is a Mon Hun on Switch

PS2 MH probably not, but PSP MH games releases around the time most people were in middle/early high school. So yeah, kids.
Guess we won't really know until TGS in september at the earliest. With their last earnings report they expect 2020-2021 to be a record breaker in revenue, and the only way they can achieve that is with a new MH game.
"these kids have all the time in the world, lower the drop rates!"
Ah, so no ''real'' MH experience.
they need to capitalize on a switch version, MHW did insanely good but no reason not to chase a switch game that could do millions.
This is probably what the "Next" teaser from Ichinose was referring to
They released Freedom Unite on mobile as well.
I mean why would Capcom not make a monster hunter game for switch.
They would basically be missing out on the huge amount of income from the switch's audience. Switch is basically dominating in Japan with its software basically crushing sales.
I know for fact Japan is hungry for a handheld monster hunter. Now the question is if monster hunter does get announced will Nintendo have publishing rights for it in the US.

Riders is recent enough to suggest this won't be mobile-focused, so given the many not-so-subtle hints we've had over the past year, Switch is destined to get its own original installment from the Portable team.
It's not like Capcom has provided much in terms of original Switch content.

I understand that perspective but Capcom isn't THAT stupid. In addition, we have had at least 3 reliable insiders who have teased a MH game for Switch. It's a matter of when, not if.
FWIW, PSP was really popular with kids and teens in Japan, so that comment tracks despite the reputation it somehow got for being more otaku-focused.
MH Explore was the closest to being a real MH experience, but yeah a true MH mobile wouldn't be possible, since they'd have to dumb down the controls/combat to make it viable to play on a touch screen/pad.
If it does turn out to be MH for the Switch, i'm interested in the development of the game. I know rumors about an MH Switch exclusive started long before MHW got revealed at E3 in 2017, but i wonder why its taken so long and why Capcom has been so terrible with their transparency regarding anything Switch related.
Not looking forward to the embarrassing threads like on here and Gaf had with MHW between the Nintendo and Sony fans.
Oh trust me I am. If it's some monkey paw mobile game I'm ready for pain and sadness. Should it be a true MH game built ground up for Switch I will probably be dancing in the streets. I just need to know.
You can't play MHW for example on the train during your commute to school/home or when your hanging out with friends in a public area. That's a big difference.
It has more to do with how Monster Hunter portable offered a handheld experience where kids can play on the go unlike say World in Japan.
I think it has to do with the fact that maybe the Monster Hunter Switch game would overshadow MHW in Japan. So they probably wanted to give MHW some space.
Once they got MHW out the way they will probably announce the portable monster hunter.
I'm tempted to talk about this, I've literally had what this is confirmed by like a dozen different people at this point, but I'm not much of a MH fan and I feel it's not really my place to say what this is, others who know and are bigger fans haven't said anything so I won't either. All I'll say is be patient for a bit longer.
Monster Hunter World is not coming to Switch, that I will comment on. Capcom themselves actually say that in the very interview this topic is about.
A bit longer as in TGS or a bit longer as in the next Direct ?
Yeah no need to say more on the game itself, people wouldn't believe you for several reasons, it is not worth it.

Just want to quote Jawmuncher's comment.
We know for a fact that their targets for this Fiscal Year is much higher than previous years which even had MHW and Icebrone. Of course, COVID-19 can change things however, RE8 alone on PC and Next Gen isn't going to achieve those sales. A new MH game that comes to Switch? That will certainly help. So I doubt it will be mobile.

World isn't coming to Switch, Capcom even said so in this interview.
