After many months of waiting Capcom has finally given Nintendo Switch owners in the west their chance for a dose of sweet Monster Hunter action. Called Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, it's the sequel to the Nintendo 3DS title of the same name. Minus the Ultimate part - Monster Hunter Generations.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is due for release on August 28. You can check out the announcement and full trailer below, keeping in mind that this is more in line visually and mechanically with the Monster Hunter of old and not the excellent Monster Hunter World re-imagining.

Colossal roster – Take on the series’ largest roster of monsters to date including all-new monsters, subspecies, and the mysterious new Elder Dragon Valstrax.
Co-op multiplayer – Join up and hunt online with up to three other hunters, or meet-up and play together via local play.
Play anywhere! – With Nintendo Switch, for the first time gamers have the flexibility to either play online with friends on a TV in tabletop mode or play on-the-go in handheld mode.
New level of challenge – Alongside the previously featured low rank and high rank level quests from Generations, a challenging quest level called “G” rank is introduced to test experienced hunters’ battle tactics. Even more formidable versions of familiar foes enter the fields with different moves and abilities never before seen in the wild.

Hopefully this paves the way for a Monster Hunter World port for perhaps later in the year.
