A leaked internal GameStop schedule coming out of Germany purportedly lists a number of titles as launching alongside Nintendo's upcoming Switch console.
I could see Monster Hunter being a legit launch title. Its very popular in Japan probably more so then Zelda is over there at this point and Nintendo is going to want to pull out all the stops at launch. I'm not a fan of MH but I know its a big franchise.
Every weapon has it's own unique move set that's based on skill/timing and the monster design/moveset is better then most other games, that's why i like it.
I really hope Monster Hunter gets some real love. It is time for a reboot on a brand new engine. I got Monster Hunter back in 2006 for the PS2 and they are still using the same engine to this very day. It is time to shake things up.
If the launch lineup is true (we all will find out in roughly 2 days) I will be getting: 1. Zelda 2. Skyrim (if mods are supported) 3. Mario Kart 8 4. Splatoon 5. Monster Hunter 6. The 3D Mario game 7. Dragon Quest 11 (or 10, whichever is the MMO)
I have to give 1 thing to nintendo, they are better at not leaking things early like the other two. Their lips stay sealed until they themselves open them.
They are very good but been a fair few leaks around this shame really as people just like to ruin the suspense but like those losers who used to write and probably still do somewhere "First" on all the comments boards. Yeah first to get punched in face ;) I guess it's all so that they can say well as I revealed back in.... yay medal in the post for you mystic meg 🙄
If Monster Hunter gets announced for Switch, Day 1 for me no matter how powerful the console is, MH is what always persuades me to pick up Nintendo consoles, since Sony lost the exclusivity to the franchise after the PSP days.
I love MH!!! It's probably the only game I really put a lot of time into on Wii U. Looking more and more like the Switch will be a good day one investment.
If Monster Hunter Double-Cross gets a Switch port, the sales speculations regarding how well a third party can sell on it, are officially over. There will be no way the Switch won't sell big time, with a game like that, especially in Japan, but even in the states as well. MHDC would be the big flood-gate opener for other third parties to ride in off of.
Splatoon, Mario Kart 8 and Smash. They will be just ports, but they will still be games that many people didn't get to play because the Wii U sold so badly. All three have great online play.

The only interest so far is a new Mario game & Zelda.
It does says NX placeholder and not Switch...not sure if that is relevant though.
