Nintendo Announces Switch 2 Monster Hunter Wilds Bundle
Nintendo has announced a Monster Hunter Wilds bundle for the Nintendo Switch 2, launching in Japan this December. The announcement marks the debut of the mainline Monster Hunter series on Nintendo’s next-generation console, bringing the popular hunting action franchise to the platform.
Monster Hunter Wilds becomes a significant launch window title for Switch 2, particularly for the Japanese market where the Monster Hunter franchise maintains strong popularity. The December release aligns with Nintendo’s holiday season strategy in Japan, positioning the game as a key system seller for early Switch 2 adopters.
This bundle announcement represents strong publisher commitment to Switch 2, with Capcom bringing one of its most successful franchises to the platform at launch. The Monster Hunter series has been a cornerstone of the original Switch’s library, and continuing this presence on Switch 2 underscores the console’s importance as a platform for major third-party releases alongside Nintendo’s first-party offerings.
