<p>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, <a href="http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html">Capcom’s own description</a> states that it has over 100 million-selling games) stretching from NES classics like <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nes/mega_man_2">Mega Man 2</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nes/ghosts_n_goblins">Ghosts ‘n Goblins</a></strong> right up to its most recent releases.</p>
<p>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 <strong>Resident Evil 2</strong> remake just yet – it makes for some interesting reading. <strong>Monster Hunter: World</strong> jumps all the <strong>Resident Evil</strong><strong>s</strong> and <strong>Street Fighters</strong> to the top of the list with a colossal 11.9 million sales across all platforms. From a Nintendo perspective, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/monster_hunter_generations_ultimate">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 <a href="http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/review.html">February 4th financial report</a> that the Switch version enjoyed “robust sales” outside Japan.</p>
<p>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>
<p><em>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>
