Monster Hunter Generations/Generations Ultimate producer Shintaro Kojima has left Capcom

That's a shame, he did some good stuff.
Hope he'll have a good job wherever he goes next (Cygames like everyone?).
+ : Capcom was happy with MHGU results
- : Capcom is all in on MHW
But yeah, it's just a big "ask again later" thing at this point, 50/50.
If nothing is out on Switch, maybe Capcom will do something on the next platform though, not the first time they change their minds when a platform is announced. Still shitty Switch support from them.

Lol
While it's true, there's not much teased since the NeXt tease. I'll be worried if nothing happens by the end of MH Festa in January.
You can add two other +/-:

edit:
It could, but the thing is that it's been teased by the Portable/Generations director, handheld focused series, while the mainline series director already implied to work on a next gen one (the Iceborne director isn't the 4/World one). You can also do a parallel with NX, but that was announced way after the codename was replaced.

iirc the director put emphasis on N and X, and switch's codename was NX.
Shintaro Kojima: "Wouldn't it be nice to develop a new MH game for Switch?"
Capcom: "You're fired."
Capcom: "You're fired."
Plus, i think the first PS5/XSX MonHun will again be done with Tsujimoto at the top.
Why be worried about a game that hasn't even been officially announced yet? lol They'll announce when they're ready.
It's possible, but I feel like PS5 MH would be done by the World team. Ichinose and the people that worked on Generations have to be doing something though.

Previously Bayonetta 3 producer and now MHG producer, I'm really concerned about these departures.
Maybe the producers were against putting their games exclusively on one platform, especially after seeing how successful similar games are on other platforms.

As someone who plays GU and World on a regular basis i am really interested how Capcom handless the franchise going into next gen. Personally i don't need a World 2 and continuing World as a cross gen service game could really work well. A downgraded Switch port of World with crossplay / save would be nice to have.
No more of an emphasis than the other letters. But it's always a possibility.
Yup, nothing pointing to Ichinose's tease being specifically for Switch.

Don't give them attention (this kind of posters thrive in receiving attention), just directly report their behaviour to the moderation.

Because Capcom usually does a short teaser-to-reveal timeframe. Like they could have perfectly shown just a logo by now (TGS, Direct, MH Festa...) if they were really planning to make it a Switch project.
Instead there were two old DMC ports announced for 20$ each in that time period.
I'm sure there'll be a MH game coming to a Nintendo platform someday, so I'm not worried there, but their Switch support definitely makes the Switch project questionable. Hell, they didn't even port MH Stories there when they have already made a better looking version on a single screen on mobile.
Holiday season is a big season for MH and Icebourne because if the sales on digital storefronts....they have no need to talk about any new MH games this year.
If it's a Switch game it likely will be shown on the first big Direct of 2020 or during Nintendos e3 Direct.

I don't believe there is any MH game of relevance coming to the Switch. But even so, a singular producer leaving isn't a sign of cancellation lol.
I wonder if Capcom is already full on pre-production for the next MH next-generation game. World came quite late into the current cycle console and probably they don't want to happen again.
Makes more sense to wait for Switch 2,which will make port World assets easier to create a spin-off MH game, specially for Nintendo.

Y'all...
When one of the kats who was hinting at World's existence in the first place is telling you to cool your jets, maybe that's a cue...
Work on MH6 likely started as soon as World wrapped given that's how it went for 4 and World. That's also why there are multiple teams and leads, so the core MH4 could start on World while some leads kept on 4 Ultimate and the Portable team made Generations. There's probably always 2-3 main MH releases in R&D at any given time.
Couldn't bring myself to enjoy Generations or Generations Ultimate. They just felt off to me. I wish him well in future endeavors.
They need to HD remake Monster Hunter Tri and bring back Loc Lac Desert. In the remake, they have to include content from Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Monster Hunter Generations/Ultimate, and expand on everything by also making it feel like a sequel. It's quite simple.
Yeah, the last good Monster Hunter game was Iceborne. Been terrible ever since!
I wonder by which metric since Capcom said it performed better than expected on Switch, and as expected on 3DS.
Ultimate might have underperformed(for a few reasons) but the initial Generations release was a massive overperformance. World sold less in Japan and at the time it was second only to 4U outside of Japan.
OP
OP
they did? generations did 4.3 million and is the 9th best selling capcom game of all time, and generations ultimate did 3.3 million with a japan-only 3DS release, a late switch port and an even later localization. overall that's 7.6 million for a game that was basically a greatest hits title reusing assets from past games, and had maybe 1/5th of the budget of MHW (likely much less). if that's underperforming i'm sure most publishers would love for their games to underperform.
OP
OP
fixed, i got it mixed with the 3DS version of generations ultimate.
Capcom not making a Monster Hunter for Switch would be indeed a pretty good reason.
I'm kind of sad, because as much as I really like World, I still prefer the older entries.
If only we could have both, but with the success of World, there is no going back. Anyway, it's not like Capcom really care about the Switch right?

If Nintendo were that petty/insecure they would have pushed God Eater 3 for Bamco.
Why? Dauntless is the next best thing (albeit not remotely as good) as Monster Hunter. It's not about being petty, it's about serving the niche that Capcom refuses to serve for their system.
It means it's developed for the NeXT computer with the new technological advancements of object oriented programming!
