As you may or may not be aware, Capcom keeps a tally of all its million-sellers called the ‘Platinum’ list. It covers all platforms and, right now, it’s up to 87 titles (although, confusingly, Capcom’s own description<\/a> states that it has over 100 million-selling games) stretching from NES classics like Mega Man 2<\/a><\/strong> and Ghosts ‘n Goblins<\/a><\/strong> right up to its most recent releases.<\/p>\n

While it’s worth bearing in mind that this data dates back to the end of last year – and therefore doesn’t include the massively successful Resident Evil 2<\/strong> remake just yet – it makes for some interesting reading. Monster Hunter: World<\/strong> jumps all the Resident Evil<\/strong>s<\/strong> and Street Fighters<\/strong> to the top of the list with a colossal 11.9 million sales across all platforms. From a Nintendo perspective, Monster Hunter Generations<\/a><\/strong> creeps up to number 17 having sold an impressive 3 million copies across 3DS and Switch. There’s no individual breakdown between the platforms, although Capcom commented in its February 4th financial report<\/a> that the Switch version enjoyed “robust sales” outside Japan.<\/p>\n

With Switch’s growing player base, Capcom is sure to have plans for the franchise on Nintendo’s system going forward – the list features plenty of Nintendo hardware elsewhere. While a port of the ultra-successful Monster Hunter: World is unlikely, it’s not beyond the realm of possibility.<\/p>\n

Would you snap up a Switch port of Monster Hunter: Worlds or would a bespoke title be a better idea? Give us your thoughts down below.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
