E3 2017: Capcom Not Bringing Switch Version Of Monster Hunter XX To The US
The company confirms it has no plans to localize the title.

i'm going to be delusionally naive and focus on the fact that they specifically said there's no plans to localize the switch version and not no plans to localize the game outright

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

I bet they want maximum numbers for the new console push and don't want people to have just bought a MH game.

Something dumb. The gently caress though. I would buy both.

Switch is region free so you can just make a Japanese account and buy/download and game no problem. If it has English your Switch will automatically play the game in English too. So no 'import' necessary.

I know some Hong Kong and Chinese games come with English-language options but has that ever happened with a game that didn't also get a western release?

if it means the visuals are more more like MH4U than MHGen, I'm honestly okay with that. Mhgen could get too loving chaotic like some kinda monster disco floor with 4 players

Okay, just saying, but I watched the video on Gamespot, read the entire article, checked all links within the article, and looked at the comments. NOWHERE does it say we aren't getting it, other than the first line in the article, which has no links to anything confirming as such. Misinformation is being spread, and while I believe it's easier on one's sanity to believe it's not coming until proven otherwise, that HAS to stop. Clickbait titles are one thing, but there is NO PROOF. The article from Gamespot, as of current knowledge, is a LIE.

Agreed, it's entirely possible this is a clickbait article that they (correctly) knew would get a ton of traffic. For me it's the final straw, I'm sick of getting my hopes up. Guess I'll start looking forward to MHW and watch my switch collect dust. Bummed.

You are correct about that. I just think they took the tweets and faked a direct source of information though.

I could lie and claim I bought my switch because of zelda, but the truth is I thought a MonHun game was a lock on this thing. I'm honestly heartbroken :(

Yeah and wade through tons and tons of Japanese text that I can't read without a guide.

Also you can't transfer Gen saves to XX.

Actually trying to read it all in Japanese does sound like I pain. May just stick to translation patched 3ds version, makes it easier to wait longer before getting a switch anyway.

I managed to get through the most recent dark souls game in japanese just using the google translate app where it converts the text by looking at it through your camera phone, i can't imagine monster hunter being any worse. i wasn't aware you could transfer saves but is XX just a g rank on top of X or something? personally if i was going to play on switch that would feel like cutting out the majority of the game.

So what's the deal with running the translation patch for the 3DS version? Do I need sketchy homebrew stuff on my hardware, will a Japanese copy of the game run on my American system?

If anyone can link a nice step-by-step guide I'll appreciate it, the installation instructions for the patch seem to assume a lot of knowledge

Edit: Looks like it probably isn't in the cards without a Japanese 3DS!

I think World will probably be good, but Western fans have been excited about XX since it was announced - and its existence has a way of making Generations feel incomplete. Capcom have found a clever way to put a dark cloud over their exciting announcement, is what it comes down to fr me

It's especially silly in that MHW really does feel like a play to the Western market but this whole announcement schedule has a feeling about it like they thought they could build hype for XX while only talking to Japanese customers! Of course you're gonna disappoint the customers you're hoping to excite if you do things this way, ya dummies!
