Monster Hunter is finally coming to Nintendo Switch.
Monster Hunter XX or Double Cross released in March for Nintendo 3DS systems in Japan. The release date was suspect and it made me think it would be a launch title for Switch. I was wrong but Capcom has just announced that XX will be coming to Switch.

This is also different from the big unannounced IP scheduled for this fiscal year.

No release date or localization has been announced yet. Safe to say, Nintendo will probably announce the localization during their E3 showcase.
