Monster Hunter with proper controls on a portable system is ideal. Luckily, that's what we're getting with the Switch

Yeah. That's what I'm hoping for in like 2 years or whatever, since MHXX is still a 3DS game.

My problem with Monster Hunter regressing back to the PS4 or something is twofold:
1.) I would have to buy a PS4, which is a hefty price tag for really only wanting to play Persona 5 and a hypothetical Monhun
2.) Portable Monster Hunter is the fuckin tits. I can murder a dinosaur with my buddies while we wait for our friend who's always late to show up for board game day. I can murder a dinosaur in any room of my house. I can murder a dinosaur on my lunch break. I can murder a dinosaur while my girlfriend becomes obsessed with Splatoon on the big TV for like 3 months straight. I can murder a dinosaur during my 6-hour layover in Chicago that one time. Portable Monster Hunter is very important.

Sony: We're financing the development of Monster Hunter X4 because it certainly wouldn't have been possible without this sizable investment from our games development budget
Capcom: This is the natural direction for us to develop the franchise, Monster Hunter has always been about high tri-count and appealing to console-gaming western sensibilities

Neither does the 3DS. I also had time to charge my device in that airport.

I wonder how big the Switch power brick is

It should work fine with a tiny 10W charger when portable but who knows

i've heard it's like 3 hours, and part of the reason for going USB-C is so it can quickly recharge

I want monhun to be on a system I own, like the 3ds, rather than one I do not own, like the ps4. If resolution is that important to you, then go play one of those lovely monhun mmos.

And Etrian Odyssey on one screen is a dark future that i want no part of.

I used to exclusively play Pokemon Blue on the Super Gameboy, I definitely would've paid full price gladly if they had released one for the 64, or the GC, or the Wii, or hell maybe even the Wii U. unfortunately I'm 30 now and don't really care about Pokemon anymore, but I still have friends my age who were paying GO that one week it was super popular.

Supposedly that's the battery life of the devkit, which has also been rumored to have a less-efficient Tegra X1 as well as active cooling, so the final model may well be a good deal better.

Yeah, this is what I meant. It's possible the final battery life may be 3 hours too, but the devkit is certainly different.
