Iron Galaxy, the studio that ported Skyrim onto Nintendo Switch, wants to turn its hand to a tougher challenge – Monster Hunter: World.
Iron Galaxy CEO Adam Boyes tweeted his interest in taking on the project:
Dear @monsterhunter team at Capcom – we understand that porting the game to Nintendo Switch is challenging (https://t.co/0JrAIQgcft) but this is exactly what @IToTheG does. Give us a shot & we wonāt let you down š

The 90th annual Academy Awards went off without a hitch compared to the Best Picture snafu from 2017, with the focus of Sunday night’s show being on the legacy of the Oscars as well as the social activism and inclusion of movements like #TimesUp.
There were plenty of highlights — both big and small — that made the almost four-hour broadcast a fun viewing experience. Here are our 10 top moments from the 2018 Oscars. For our full recap, make sure to check out theĀ full winners list.
Monster Hunter: World has now shipped 7.5 million copies, making it the best selling game in Capcom’s history.
Announced in a press release, it outdoes the best efforts of Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Mega Man and Devil May Cry.
This achievement comes before World gets a PC release, currently scheduled for autumn this year.
Capcom’s previous best-seller was Resident Evil 5, which had shipped 7.3 million copies as of December 2017.
World had previously become theĀ fastest-selling game in Capcom’s history, but this will be the more important milestone for the developer.
The late Batman star Adam West was notably missing from the 2018 Academy Awards’ In Memoriam reel during Sunday’s Oscars broadcast.
Oftentimes, actors omitted from the Oscars’ In Memoriam reel are those generally who have been deemed more closely associated with TV than movies.
While he may have been primarily known for his role as the small screen’s Caped Crusader (and, later, stints on Family Guy) on television, West did appear in several movies during his long acting career, including the 1966 feature film version of Batman.
West’s feature film credits include Meet the Robinsons, Chicken Little, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Robinson Crusoe on Mars, Geronimo, and the Young Philadelphians. West died last June at the age of 88.
It’s become standard for awards show acceptance speeches to be a race against the clock, as the award winner tries to rattle out his or her long list of thanks before the orchestra plays them off. At the 2018 Oscars, host Jimmy Kimmel added a new incentive to try to get winners to stay on schedule: whoever gives the shortest speech gets a jet ski, presented by Helen Mirren.
Played off like a Price Is Right prize, Kimmel’s opening monologue concluded with the reveal of Mirren showing off the jet ski, and it became a recurring bit throughout the show. Multiple nominees referenced the “prize” as a reason to keep their speeches within the Academy Awards-determined time limit — or admitted they were going over time even if it meant they were going to be losing their chance.
Get Out’s Jordan Peele made history at the 2018 Oscars on Sunday night, becoming the first black writer to win an Academy Award for Original Screenplay.
I just won an Oscar. WTF?!?

In 90 years of Oscars history, only four black writers have been nominated in the category, including Peele. Other nominees include John Singleton in 1991 forĀ Boyz n the Hood, Spike Lee in 1989 for Do the Right Thing, and Suzanne de Passe for Lady Sings the Blues in 1972.
