Whether the action RPG Monster Hunter World (PC; PS4, Xbox One) will be released on the Nintendo Switch is uncertain. However, the developers at Capcom do not want to let the hope for a Switch release die completely.
The Monster Hunter series has often been present on the Nintendo 3DS in the past and has many followers among Nintendo fans. Therefore, many Nintendo gamers hope for a port of Monster Hunter World on the Nintendo Switch.
So far, the game is only planned for the Playstation 4, the Xbox One, and later in the fall for the PC.
Unfortunately, the developers at Capcom have bad news for Nintendo fans …
Focus on PS4, Xbox, and PC, not on Switch!
In an interview, Kaname Fujika, the co-director of Monster Hunter World, spoke about the Switch version: According to the developer, nothing can currently be said about a Nintendo version of Monster Hunter World. A port for Nintendo hardware is currently not on the agenda.
The aim is to adapt Monster Hunter World perfectly to the hardware of PS4, PC, and Xbox. However, they want to keep the Switch in mind for the future and consider a later port. When and if that will ever happen remains to be seen.
As a consolation, Japanese Switch players currently only have a remaster of the previous title Monster Hunter XX.
Fans skeptical, Doom and Wolfenstein can do it too!
Many Nintendo fans are understandably upset by this news. Many players want to see the latest installment on Nintendo as well. Furthermore, many players doubt that the Switch cannot handle Monster Hunter World.
After all, Bethesda has also managed to get their high-gloss shooters Doom and Wolfenstein running on the Switch. A version of Monster Hunter World should certainly be possible technically as well.
Therefore, some players suspect a conspiracy between Capcom and the Playstation manufacturer Sony behind the Nintendo exclusion. After all, both companies have several crossovers already in the works.
On the other hand, there may eventually be a completely own Monster Hunter title just for the Switch. Then the abstention from Monster Hunter World wouldn’t be so bitter.
This is how the release version of Monster Hunter World plays as a noob.
