Capcom’s Monster Hunter series is coming to Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch just got a significant third-party boost: Capcom has announced that it’ll be bringing Monster Hunter XX to the new system. Monster Hunter isn’t the most popular series in the West, but it’s been huge in Japan since the days of the PSP, and it was seen as a major coup for Nintendo when the games eschewed Sony’s PS Vita for the 3DS.

Monster Hunter XX — pronounced “double cross” — is the latest entry in the action RPG series; an expanded version of Monster Hunter X, which was released in the US in 2015 as Monster Hunter Generations. XX came out in Japan in March, and hasn’t yet been announced for the West.
