Tokyo Game Show has kicked off, as of today, and with it comes a barrage of news. One of which, is regarding the latest entry in Capcom's beloved Monster Hunter franchise. Monster Hunter: World will be launching for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 26 of next year, while a PC version will follow "sometime later". Preordering the game will get you some unique starting armor, and for the PS4, a menu theme. There will also be two deluxe versions of the game; a $69.99 Digital Deluxe Edition, which gets you a samurai skin, 3 gestures, and an extra hairstyle for your character. These can be purchased as individual DLC for those who get the standard edition. Finally, there's a $149.99 collector's edition, which will boast a physical copy of the game, all of the contents of the digital deluxe version, an artbook, a digital soundtrack download, and a statue.

finally the cutscenes have actual voiced dialouge... no awkward grunting in the cutscenes to convey language like in mh3u/4u/generations

the awkward voice is the best feature they have.

It's a bit early to dismiss the console now, wouldn't you say?

Besides, one release isn't going to kill the Switch.

It did for me.

I dont understand the surprise of not be released to switch... limited hardware is one of the motives

Lol you're kidding me, right? People think this game has high-end graphics? The trailer looks like XB360. It could easily be scaled to Switch, it's simply that they'd prefer to port MHXX first because that's even easier.

No, they didnt. Nintendo asked capcom to port a mh game to switch, they never had the intention but it was nintendo who asked them, and guess what? The switch port is selling really bad in japan right now lmao.

Well, it's also on New 3DS so everyone is buying that version.

Exactly, or already bought it. I've never paid for it though, and XX will be better on Switch.

Sounds like some he said-she said bullshit to me. Monster Hunter has always been a portable-focused franchise, it was inevitably going to make its way to Switch in one form or another.

You should all know by now the reason why there isn't any monster Hunter on the switch outside of Japan and no mh world: Capcom being crapcom!

Pretty much. Marvel vs Capcom (3 or Infinite) would've sold well on Switch, but nah let's put Street Fighter 2 on there and way overcharge for it instead.

Amazingly though the street fighter 2 and pokken dx re-releases managed to place higher than marvel vs Capcom infinite in their first week in the UK(physical). The mysteries of crapcom never cease to amaze me...

Pokken I can understand, but it's amazing to me that so many people were willing to pay $40 for a SNES game in 2017.

B-but street fighter 2 on switch has new graphics! And two new totally original characters! That totally justifies the price, right?
