August 10
As most of you know,Monster Hunter XX(pronounced “Double Cross”), an enhanced Switch version ofMonster Hunter Generations(and thus, the previous enhancementMonster Hunter X), is coming to Japan later this month. But as is the case with manyMonster Hunterlocalizations, nothing has been announced for the west.
That’s okay though! Given that the Switch is gloriously region-free, you may easily just import it or buy it off the eShop when it drops on August 25. Or, you can download the demo when it hits next week on August 10 — that way you can find out whether or not you can navigate its menus (because navigating or skipping the dialogue is a given).
While I may go through the [next to no] effort to log into my Japanese account for this, I’m not super jazzed forXXas there’s still plenty ofMonster Hunter(andMH-likes) to go around for now. Plus,Worldstill looks like a fairly large leap for the series and I don’t mind waiting on that.
