The next Monster Hunter game, Monster Hunter Wilds, is in development, but it won’t be on Switch. Capcom recently commented on why that’s the case.

[Rapid Review] Monster Hunter Stories for Switch
Posted on 6 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: June 14, 2024
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Monster Hunter Stories was easily one of my favorite titles on the system. The franchise lent itself surprisingly well to the monster taming genre, with a solid (albeit somewhat cliche) story behind it, an accessible rock-paper-scissors style of combat, and a gene system that added an unexpected amount of depth. But it was something of a sleeper hit, and most likely didn’t experience the franchise until the sequel, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, arrived on the Switch nearly four years later. Now, just in time for the franchise’s anniversary, Capcom has finally brought the original to the Switch. But is it too little, too late?
