Nintendo is unleasing\u00a0a monster title on\u00a0the Switch \u2014 quite literally \u2014 after Capcom revealed<\/a> plans to bring its Monster Hunter franchise to the console with the upcoming\u00a0Monster Hunter XX title. (That\u2019s \u201cdouble cross\u201d not \u201cXX,\u201d by the way.)<\/p>\n While it might not be mainstream in the West,\u00a0Monster Hunter is a huge franchise in Japan.<\/p>\n Where do we start? Past\u00a0games in the series have helped Nintendo sell millions of PSPs<\/a>, millions\u00a0of 3DSes<\/a>\u00a0and literally gotten top marks<\/a> from the critics. The original game graced the PlayStation 2 in 2004, and newer\u00a0additions have landed on\u00a0the PS3, PS Vita, Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360 not to mention Windows and iOS.\u00a0XX was actually first\u00a0released for\u00a0the\u00a03DS in March and\u00a0there\u2019s plenty of anticipation for the Switch version.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s reveal is a big deal for gamers, but equally so for Nintendo the business. The firm\u2019s share price<\/a> jumped over five percent on the news. Today alone, Nintendo added\u00a0$2.2 billion to its market cap as its share price\u00a0reached\u00a0its highest since October 2008.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no word for now on when Monster Hunter XX will land on Switch.\u00a0More information has been teased for Saturday \u2014 which is also the date of this year\u2019s Monster Hunter Championship \u2014 so\u00a0diehards\u00a0won\u2019t have to wait too long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/screenshot-2017-05-26-16-41-49.png?w=680&h=409\")
