Monster Hunter Rise announced for Switch

The Monster Hunter series thrived on 3DS, but hasn’t seen much action on Switch. Aside from an enhanced port of Monster Hunter Generations, Capcom hasn’t done much with the franchise on Nintendo’s latest system. However, that’s about to change. During today’s Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, Capcom announced Monster Hunter Rise for Switch.

seems like a cheap Spin off in many ways (Art, atmosphere , characters , exploration) ...though lets wait for the final version ...imo canon Monster Hunter has moved permantly on PS4/5/Xbox consoles

GameBoyColor1317d ago

World isn't really a mainline game either though. If it happens that MH5 actually gets announced for playstation and xbox then we can say that's where canon games are. But right now those games don't exist on any of the new hardware.

All there are right now is offshoots, Gen and now Rise for nintendo(stories is the only actual spinoff game) and presumably World series for the others and pc.

Monster hunter world did quite well on pc, it even supports nvidias dlss allowing me to play at 4K 60.

Neonridr1317d ago

World, while grander as a game, paled in comparison to the number of jobs and customization your character had from the 3DS games. So while World has moved the bar in some ways, it still has some catching up to do in others.

Sirk7x1316d ago

What? There have been more Monster Hunter games on Nintendo consoles than haven't at this point. Portable Monster Hunter sales have been very good to Capcom. And as great as MHW was, it was stripped back in complexity and Monster count from the prior games.

@GameBoyColor

I see some salty people are still trying to push that crap idea that "Monster Hunter World isn't a mainline game." The developers have repeatedly said that Monster Hunter World is the next mainline game.

Monster Hunter World IS Monster Hunter 5. Get over it.

BlackDoomAx1316d ago

lol, stop saying the truth, microsoft and nintendo fanboys don't like it.

Ilovetheps51317d ago

I can't wait for this game. I'm so glad to see them go back to the older style of games. I really hope it turns out well.

thesoftware7301317d ago

Looks fantastic.

Nice graphics for the Switch as well.

fsfsxii1317d ago

ewwww. manhunt should completely ditch Nintendo's shit hardware. MHWorld is a stunner, going back to subHD again is gonna be jarring.

Neonridr1317d ago

then don't play it, nobody will care.

Jeriphro1317d ago

With Monster Hunter Rise, it's not about power. It's about audience. The Switch base is massive right, and Japan especially will buy Rise by the millions. It will increase demand for the Switch again, and it will continue to show that power does not automatically mean best. Some times, it is just a great marriage between two companies.

Sirk7x1316d ago (Edited 1316d ago )

You keep that opinion, while I will enjoy the ever-living hell out of Monster Hunter Rise lol. As amazing as World was in production value, 4U and Generations were far more complex games in terms of mechanics and choice, which is what a large part of the MH community enjoys.

Steam Uproar as Capcom Slips In Restrictive DRM Software

From Xfire: "Steam users and the larger PC gaming community are lashing out at Capcom over a streak of sneaky DRM updates as the Japanese gaming giant continues to flirt with controversy"

LordoftheCritics91d ago

RIP

Capcom turning into Ubisoft.

Well success can have that effect.

just_looken91d ago

Yep this shows how bad a digital world is now well for the old titles new games disc or not the drm is there but you can get the old games on dvd then try to monkey the last pre drm update onto the game files.

I love GOG for this reason i saw that skyrim bs update so i know not to run that version as gog you can select what patch to download/install with capcom hopefully we get a list of the update numbers that add this horrific drm.

With denuvo as a alder lake pc user it still has issues with E cores and i remember when the servers were taken offline forcing hundreds of games to be paperweights.

It's also really annoying how they can cut or change content later, like the Skull Girls controversy, a decade later after the game came out, they decide to censor it. The game is a decade old, if it's not broken, leave it, adding DRM back into older games is BS.

just_looken91d ago

@final

Good point even major sp games got the cut after the fact be it last of us with maps/art or gta 5 removing stuff in the world.

Cyberpunk ps4 day one disc copy the sept build still has stuff the other versions no longer have.

With the gta 6 controversy right now i think back to the days of saints row creating a character beating up cops with a dildo bat and now we have elon crying over gta 6 guns killing cops i bet you if they made saints row 2 hd they would half to cut half the games content or go to jail lol also sad.

Was watching avatar last airbender 13yr old ang kissing katar again can not have that in a kids show or game now.

PRIMORDUS91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

Do they want more of their games to be torrented? Seems like it, I don't mind 🤣 Just ripped them a new asshole on Twitter, as I do not care what I say or post on there LOL.

banger8891d ago

Let me guess, you have a vpn enabled. For your sake I hope it's not in any 5 Eyes territories.

PRIMORDUS90d ago

I have ExpressVPN but on Twitter I don't use it lol. For other things I use it :D

Barlos90d ago

Nice. I got a lifetime ban on Twitter back in 2020 for speaking my mind. Don't care tbh, I'm not really into social media. I don't even have a Facebook account.

PRIMORDUS90d ago

I'm still trying to get banned to lol I'll keep at it 🤣 I have FB but maybe log in once a month but yeah always speak your mind no matter how bad the words come out, do not hold back online or IRL. Fuck them shit bags lol.

got_dam91d ago

This is classic Capcom. They everything they go on a hot streak and win back some consumer good will they have to turn around and burn it to the ground and have to start the whole process again.

Chocoburger90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

Additional DRM just pushes people to pirate more. These ignorant executives just don't get it. Only the legitimate customer is affected by DRM. 😕

Darkegg90d ago

Drm punishes legit customers and encourage hackers. It’s the wrong way to go about it.

An orange and bladed Zaber Fang (from Zoids) themed after the Sand Barioth (from Monster Hunter) would have been my choice.
Hopefully Zoids outside of Wild get crossovers too.

So gaming solo or together is a luxury.
