Capcom has released the first gameplay footage of the Nintendo Switch version of Monster Hunter XX. The Nintendo Switch version of the game was announced last Friday.
The game is a direct port of the 3DS version that was released in March and as such features the same content as the original, though, unlike the 3DS version, the Nintendo Switch version will feature cross-play multiplayer for up to four players by linking consoles together.
Players who own the 3DS version will be able to transfer their savegame to the Nintendo Switch version. Savegames from Monster Hunter Generations, or Monster Hunter X as it was titled in Japan, will also be transferable.
The new trailer shows the first gameplay footage of the Nintendo Switch version. The newer version seems to feature slight graphical improvements, though players will still notice that the game was originally a 3DS title.
Monster Hunter XX for Nintendo Switch will launch on August 25th 2017 in Japan. Release dates for the regions North America and Europe have not been announced yet.

This comment has been removed. Why release the game first on 3DS and then port it to the Switch only a few months later? Might as well have developed it for Switch to start with.
