As a long-time fan of Monster Hunter, I can’t help but feel disappointed by Capcom’s decision to exclude the Nintendo Switch from the release of Monster Hunter: Wilds. I’ve been following the series since its humble beginnings on the PlayStation 2 and have watched it evolve into the massive multiplayer phenomenon that it is today.
As a long-time gamer and avid Nintendo fan, I must admit that I’ve been feeling a pang of disappointment regarding the Nintendo Switch lately. Despite its continued popularity and immense success since its launch, I can’t help but feel that the console is being left behind in terms of new game releases.
During a recent interaction with shareholders, Capcom was queried about whether the upcoming game would only be playable on “stationary platforms” like the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and personal computers. Capcom confirmed this to be the case.

Monster Hunter has hopped around among different consoles throughout its history. Younger gamers might have been initiated into this series with Monster Hunter 4 on the 3DS, or more recently, Monster Rise on the Nintendo Switch and computers. Sadly, Nintendo console users won’t be able to experience Monster Hunter: Wilds at all. With the announcement of a successor to the Nintendo Switch still uncertain, Nintendo finds itself in an uncertain phase.
For outside game creators, releasing a game on the console may seem unnecessary and fruitless. The hardware falls short of current industry benchmarks, and new games have a very limited lifespan. However, for Nintendo’s in-house developers, it’s a different scenario. Iconic titles like Legend of Zelda and Mario will keep getting launched as long as the console remains relevant. Additionally, games similar to Emio: The Smiling Man will continue to be released in the same vein.
Capcom’s choice not to bring Monster Hunter Wilds to Nintendo Switch is understandable; Mortal Kombat 1 and Breath of the Wild 2 had difficult times performing optimally on the system. Given that the game requires a consistent performance across different platforms, it would have been a challenge for Capcom to achieve this if they opted for hardware as old as 2017.
