Nintendo NX: 10 Essential Video Games That Must Be Launch Titles

3. Monster Hunter 5

It's been years since the last core Monster Hunter game landed on a home console, and fans are certainly overdue their latest fix.

Considering that there's zero chance of another MH game showing up on the Wii U at this stage, and the years that have passed since the last, it's incredibly easy to believe that the next title could land with the NX next March.

On the other hand, it wouldn't be hugely surprising if the franchise stayed committed largely to the 3DS given its insane popularity on the platform and the evidently lower cost of development. If Nintendo are truly serious about stepping up their console game, though, this would be a terrific way to do it.
