I will say this - the MH team knows what is best for the IP and if they want MH on the Switch its gonna happen.I can agree to this but acknowledging its possible is about as far as we can speculate for now
The monster hunter devs are very good at keeping the future and current workings hidden and they rarely divulge inside info
My issue isnt with Capcom - but with users acting as if bringing MH to Switch while still planning a MW2 for next-gen systems is something that would be impossible for Capcom if they really wanted.
MH is a big deal now and the MHW2 launch would probably need to be a massive release for Capcom. Doubt they are looking to release this when PS5/Xbox have a install base of less than 20m - especially when it comes to Japan this would be quite devastating. Even on PS4/XBO it took 3-4 years for MH to finally show up. RE8 is likely 2021 - so i dont see a next-gen MH happening before 2022.
I know Japan isnt the mayor market for MH anymore - but MHW sold alot on PS4 and the IPs selling power todays comes from the strenght of their past portable titles. Personally i think MH needs to be represented in some way on Switch if the IP wants to grow even further.
What is better than a massive seller on PS/Xbox and PC ? A massive seller on PS/Xbox/PC and Switch.
But anyway...time will tell - if it wasnt for Covid 19 i would have expected a announcement this e3.
