I'm not complaining because the 3ds is cancer and I'm glad MH has moved on but is anyone curious why MHW isn't on Switch when its being pushed so hard as the local multiplayer take it anywhere console?

Because Mon Hun XX is releasing on the Switch in about two months?
It was leaked that Capcom's intentions were to make the game for a mainstream western audience, and it's absolutely indisputable that there are more PC, PS4, and XBO players in the US and Europe than there are Switch players. The Switch is mainly enjoying success in Japan, which is why it's getting the Japan-oriented XX.

Localized?

Because World is a spin-off that is watered down for the western market of dudebros who hadn't jumped on board the MH train.
Mainline games will likely still being Nintendo unless World sells well, then we will see 5 on everything and we can stop having stupid ass console wars over this franchise.

Probably a combination of not being able to run it and capcom needing to start years before the switch was even out, at a time when PS4 was selling gangbusters. Maybe we'll see a Monster Hunter World Portable somewhere down the line though. Also, online isn't exactly stellar on switch, so that might be a turn off.

I'm guessing for the following reasons:
>Switch gets MHXX
>Switch is still new, so not as many users
>Switch might not handle it as well as the other 3, needs to be a bit watered down
That being said, there is no excuse to not own a PC these days. Switch owners can just get it there if they so desire.

Because World is being pushed as the sit down and hunt online with the world game (but not across platforms, thanks Sony)
Plus it's probably too intense for the Switch to run as is. We might get MH World Freedom later on that lowers how much shit goes on with the environment and lowers the graphics to the essentials while adding that local play.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the fact that it might have been in development before the Switch was announced. But others said it before, so there.
Honestly, I'm hyped as fuck, even if it might not have much content to begin with. Nintenbros shouldn't be salty over making MH a more well known franchise in the west. I do understand that some people fear that the combat seems watered down and that the western audience might not like it. But give it a chance guys and put this console war shit aside here.
