Capcom is bringing Monster Hunter: World to the PS4 and Xbox One, but Switch is being left out. Monster Hunter XX Switch is only available in Japan, and fans in NA/EU are quite upset that they're being left without either Monster Hunter option to enjoy on Nintendo's new platform. Wondering what's going on? Capcom's Kaname Fujioka spoke to Eurogamer about the issue, and stayed kind of tight-lipped on the matter.

“Unfortunately we can't really say at this point. There's no room to say we're porting our current software to Nintendo hardware. It comes down to what we've already said - we want to deliver the perfectly adapted game for the hardware we have in mind. That was our design concept, and our mission from the very beginning. Being able to adapt Monster Hunter for those systems - adapting that to different hardware doesn't really work this time around. But in the future, thinking of something like the Switch, we'll think about how to adapt it for that platform.”
