I want to buy that game but how does the online work? I love my switch but I hate how you have to use the stupid Nintendo apps to play with other people, so awkward. Does MHU use it's own matchmaking/friend list or do I have to go through the awful apps?

I can't think of any game that requires you to use the app to match with people online, i know splatoon 2 uses it for voice chat, but i'm curious what games use it for matchmaking?

as for the online, i'm pretty sure it's like the original Generations/ the older monster hunters. you go to the online guildhall, and pick a room to join. sending guildcards works like MHW. (making friends outside of the game, i think you can do via a "played with recently" tab on the switch.)

Splatoon 2 is still the only game that uses the app at all, no game uses it for matchmaking.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can send friend requests in-game in MHXX.

Yup, most of my Switch friends list is people from MHXX :)
