Why It Can Save The Switch: It's been five years since we've had a core Monster Hunter game on a home Nintendo console, and fans are more than overdue.

Plus, after Monster Hunter 3 allowed players to transfer saves between the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game, the infrastructure and mindset is already there for a game played both at home and on-the-go.

It goes without saying that the prospect of having a bunch of buddies playing together locally on their own Switch gamepads is insanely awesome, and it's just up to Nintendo to make the joy actually happen.

How Likely Is It?: It makes a lot of sense, though with Monster Hunter XX hitting the 3DS in March, it might be a little longer before another entry into the series is announced. Give it a year or two, but it'll almost certainly happen eventually. 8/10
