One of the interesting things about Monster Hunter World is the fact that it is not getting a Switch release. I was curious as to why that was, so I went ahead and messaged some Japanese friends with connections to the industry, and they have just gotten back to me.
The answer? It has NOTHING to do with power. In fact, both RE7 and Monster Hunter World had running builds on Switch before launch, before being shut down by management because they 'couldn't' afford to release them.
Developing for Nintendo consoles is apparently so expensive, third parties can't even afford to do it.
w-whoa...

That's the wrong kind of shitposting to start an MH thread with.
>>386126850
my dad works for nintendo and says this is false
>>386126850
I LOOOOOOOOOOVE this permanent Nintendo fanboy butthurt.
You guys will keep this up all the way up to launch and well after it comes out I'm sure. It'll just make my experience that much sweeter.
my girlfriend's husband works at sega and he says you're full of shit
my wife's son works for square enix and said capcom is going bankrupt because of the failure that world is
Capcom has unbelievable talent
>>386126850
My second uncle (twice removed) works for Sony and says that they are the literal Hitlers that /v/ paints them as.
lmao OP is a massive retarded fanboy
>>386126850
nice source you got there kiddo.
>>386126850
LMAO
>>386126850
Ayy lmao
>>386126850
Take your XX and be happy
>>386126850
>>386126850
but seriously, what would be real reasons for capcom to not release MHW on switch?
OP is a lying faggot and my 3 confirms it
>>386130783
Because the Switch already has XX.
>>386126850
That is the kind of thing they would know BEFORE actually developing the port. If they actually did have it up and running at a acceptable level there isn't a whole fuck of a lot that would keep them from a digital release, at the least.
I don't know why you have to try and make such silly excuses.
>Sony literally paid for this game.
>>386130783
switch is too underpowered or capcom doesn't want to pay nintendo for 30gb+ sized cartridges.
>>386130783
if sony pays them not to
>>386131190
why doesn't sony pay to not make them release on xbox or pc then?
>>386131190
Why didn't Sony pay for MH3G, MH4, MH4G, MHX and MHXX for Vita?
they simply don't want to split the playerbase in japan
>ninggers
This thread again. Hoo boy.
>>386126850
What? The development kit for the Switch is 400 bucks or so. It's one of the cheapest development kits ever released.
On top of that, every indie developer and its mom can easily release on the switch.
>>386126850
Sure OP, Switch can totally run MHW.
>>386131509
>switch dev kits costs less than the scalped retail prices online
>>386131323
Because they weren't desperately trying to cuck Nintendo until now, now that Sony is a dying company, that is literally only being kept afloat by Playstation and their film division.

Would you pay 10 bucks for a a downgraded one year late port?
>>386131251
Microsoft has more money than Sony
>>386131664

I remember hearing the same thing years ago.
And while it's not entirely untrue, since all the giant east asian conglomerates are dying out dinosaurs. Sony's PlayStation division is still very lucrative.
Why is monster hunter so bad? As an expert in dark souls games I thought this game would be about the same. But no, it's full of bullshit. Weapons are slow as shit, like it takes 5 seconds to get a swing off, what the fuck. And then the monsters attack and I roll, but they always hit me. Speaking of the monsters why do they have so much health? Like it takes me 40 minutes to kill this dragon lizard looking thing swinging my giant sword around. Can't even more properly with this thing, i'm stuck with walking everywhere. Fuck this game, never try this piece of shit, don't fall for it guys. This game isn't fun, it's complete shitThis is an example of how you start a monster hunter thread, not with that console war bullshit, fucking cancer

>PS4 version looks nice and runs at 30fps.
>Switch version is noticeably downgraded and runs at 15fps with drops.
Capcom employees would have to sleep with one eye open for the rest of their lives. This is the lesser evil. They couldn't afford to release them out of fear of Nintendo yakuzas.
>There won't be a PS4, Sony lost too much money with the PS3!
>Wii U will be the next Wii/DS best seller; it has monster hunter, mario kart, xenoblade, and more! it can't possibly fail!
Where are these /v/ posters now?
>>386131976
Everyone is at least on five levels of false-flagging.
>>386132056
it's always the pcbronies falseflagging
>>386131952
Bravo.
>>386130783
Why release two MHs back to back without giving the first one time to sell?
>In fact, both RE7 and Monster Hunter World had running builds on Switch before launch
Nice sources, faggot.
>its another blatant misinformation thread
Color me surprised, /v/.
/v/ has risen my opinion of everyone. I no longer believe people are this stupid just pretending.
So last night sony was paying 3rd parties to not make games for the switch and now it's too expensive to makes games for the switch. Nintenchildren shitposting never stops
>>386131251
Because nobody buys shit on Xbone and PC on the same level as PS4 to be a threat and they're not competitors in Japan.
They're already weak compared to PS4. Switch is brand new. It has a chance to build momentum, especially in Japan
>>386126850
>On top of that, every indie developer and its mom can easily release on the switch.
Apparently not from the buzz I've been hearing
