Gaming Union: "Monster Hunter has been a huge hit for Capcom ever since it first appeared in Japan all those years ago. Since then it's managed to sell more than 10 million copies as a franchise, and it doesn't look like this craze will stop any time soon.
Monster Hunter Tri was released a few months ago exclusively on the Nintendo Wii in Japan, and it's actually going to be the first console version of the franchise to see the light of day in the West. At this year's TGS, Gaming Union was fortunate enough to get their hands on the game, as well as testing out the new Classic Controller Pro."
What's the best Monster Hunter of all time? In a series where half of the titles have the word 'Ultimate' fixed on the end, it can be a difficult decision to make. NL are not averse to difficult decisions though, so have taken it upon theirselves to rank every single Monster Hunter game (yes, even the non-Nintendo ones) to determine which is the very best.
First world problems all up in here, but that makes this gaming dilemma no less stressing.
The third generation of Monster Hunter drags the series back to western shores because well, why not? In fact you could say that three really has been the magic number. Unless you live in Japan in which case one and two were also pretty fantastic and if anything three has been nothing short of a crushing disappointment.
‘But wait!’ Voletic hears you scream, ‘Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has been recently announced, why are you addressing the third iteration?’ Because background knowledge is a beautiful thing and Voletic has a word count to fill.
My problem with MH is the slow paced and plain combat system, if they make it more dynamic count me in.
They need a full console release, launch the CryEngine one for PC for PS4/XO. And make sure to bring it stateside.
I guess they need to tri harder! xD
Follows on from the old expression if its not broke, don't fix it. Although it does sound quite comparable to the others i'm looking forward to it.
They need to simultaneously release a new PSP version and a PS3 version and have alot of cross-connectivity between the two.
My reasons are:
1) the psp version sells alot more then what the Wii version has, and i mean alot more.
2) i would love to see a huge HD Monster Hunter world on the PS3, and quite frankly who wouldn't?
3) it would help not only PSP but PS3 sales in japan dramatically, this series is like the new Dragon Quest, now bring that success across to the PS3!
