The thumbnail had me all excited, then I realized that this isn't even the real game. It's just some "retro" minigame thing.

Are they even pretending to still be making Ritual of the Night, or is this all we're getting?

This is a stretch-goal that was reached in the crowdfunding stuff.

The latest Ritual of the Night Kickstarter update was a pinch over two weeks ago, covering a side-quest system and a new monster type.

Who else is really hyped for MHXX?

I'm expecting MH4 levels of glory, and since I haven't gotten around to World yet/have loved earlier entries, I'm getting more and more hyped. We're finally getting god drat MHXX on this stupid super 3DS, guys! Shame it's not out til August but it's nice to finally have something huge to look forward to other than DS Remastered

Also I hear MHXX has like 4x the content and variety that world has so the more I think about it, the more ideal this setup seems for me personally. I just hope I like it as much as I liked 3 and 4, because those games were stupid addicting

Me! ME ME ME!

I am so stocked for the rehaul they gave Prowlers. In XX, Prowlers can use hunting styles too! Adept Cats, RODEO cats! Rodeoing monsters to death is my jam, son. I am the rodeo queen! Now I get to be the rodeo queen and the Crazy Cat Lady at the same time! Oh boy oh boy oh boy! :dance:

I am legit more excited for that than I am about World PC, because World doesn't have Prowler mode.

You'll never get proper GameCube emulation on the switch because of one thing: analog triggers. A few games (notably Mario Sunshine) used them, and would require an HD Remake a la Wind Waker to be played properly.

I realized this about a year ago and was bummed. Then I realized Wiis are cheap as dirt and easy to hack, and was not bummed.

Monster Hunter... I have Ultimate 3 and 4 on the 3DS and have never played them.

So, i'll definitely buy XX.

Also, on the Mario Delfino Isle video, that is fake as hell. I watched it about 5 times and nothing happens in it. These game publishers intentionally leak things to the public and if Nintendo really wanted to leak this Sunshine DLC, it would probably be press materials or something. Not a 5 second video of very little motion.

There are a lot less quality of life improvements.

Gathering is slow.

Just off the top of my head. No slinger, no grappling hook, no wingdrakes, you cant change gear or get to your item box mid mission, whetstones picks and bug nets are consumable items and gathering takes longer in general, if you use the radial menu in MHW that doesn't exist in the old games either. No scoutflies so you have to track down monsters yourself and mark them with paintballs. Maps are divided into discrete zones with loads between them, although on the New 3DS/Switch the loads are so fast as to be almost non-existent. Sounds like a bigger deal than it is but crafting has a chance of failure. Hitboxes are a little less generous, you won't be able to duck under hipchecks and spins the way MHW lets you.

All that said though the core mechanics of monster fighting are the same and so are the movesets for each weapon. It's all relatively minor quality of life things that are a much bigger deal to new players but are something you can probably learn to deal with coming from MHW. Generations has a bunch of stuff World doesn't, also. Each weapon has a bunch of alternate styles that slightly change their movesets, there are super moves that run off a meter, and you can play as felynes.

I think you might have to do a couple keys before you unlock prowler mode, but it's very early if so.

The main thing is that old monhun games weren't very good at explaining themselves compared to World. Like you'd routinely have people complaining in the 3DS thread that they played MH4/Gen for 10 hours and never got to fight a big monster, because those games will gladly let you drown in dozens of optional 1 and 2 star gathering/small monster culling quests if you don't know any better.

Having a monster hunter mentor helps a lot, someone to say what quests are worth doing, what items are worth bringing, and what button does what on the weapons.

Seriously. I also think a lot of people who have been playing games for a long time often write games off as easy because of the fact that they have lots of accumulated experience playing other games that are similar, and some of these people take that for granted.

Playing video games for the first time is always gonna be a bit awkward I would think, regardless of how comfortable a controller is it's tricky to get used to. Hell I remember when I first tried playstation games dying lots in ways I wouldn't normally because the buttons using symbols instead of letters was alien to me.

All the rough edges were smoothed out for world, but a lot of it is just more of a challenge not necessarily quality of life. Standing still while healing, having to throw paintballs to mark targets and having to gather whetstones were design choices that added to the overall feel of hunting. But they also scaled back armor customization, types of monsters, classes to choose from and made the underlying systems less obtuse, stuff that you'd only find in wikis, my wii u browser was half MH bookmarks.

It will have an audience, especially Japan, and the playerbase is one of the best I've ever been in contact with. Definitely get the game if you want more monster hunting, the graphic fidelity was obviously not the reason the series is loved.
