Famitsu revealed that Capcom’s latest entry in the Monster Hunter series Monster Hunter Rise has had the third best retail launch for Nintendo Switch in Japan.
Monster Hunter Rise is just behind Nintendo’s very own heavy hitters Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield in Japan. Which is kind of crazy when you think about it and also think further regarding things like Super Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild.
Capcom themselves recently announced that Monster Hunter Rise shipped five million units worldwide. And that is after a March 26th launch. No telling where the it is going to go.
