The official Monster Hunter XX teaser site for the Switch has also went up. You can access it here.
What does this mean for North America? Will we still get the 3DS version and then later on the Switch version, or will Capcom fast track the Switch version and skip the 3DS original? We’re not sure, but more details on the game is scheduled for May 27 so we might hear more then!
