Asked about the game during a Q3 Q&A conference call, Capcom said: 'We decided to offer this title for the Xbox 360 because of this console's outstanding online game playing capabilities and for other reasons.'"
Last week, a report from inven said that CAPCOM Korea is developing Monster Hunter Frontier Online 2, the sequel to Tencent’s Monster Hunter Online. But CAPCOM immediately dispel the rumor on March 28, and said that haven’t the plan to develop the sequel currently.
Grant from Denkiphile: "Hadoukens, Hadoukens everywhere in the contest announced by Capcom, a collaborative effort between Monhan and Fate/Stay Night, and we find out that Japan actually plays MOBAs."
Capcom is still celebrating Street Fighter’s 25th anniversary in Japan. The publisher announced a crossover with Monster Hunter Frontier Online, the online enabled PC and Xbox 360 game.
"and for other reasons" = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
lets be honest with our selvs in here
MS paid a hefty amount of cash for this
because they need games like this to sell more 360's in Japan
this game sell mainly in Japan, and it didn't do will on the wii
and the wii got much bigger install base than the 360 in Japan
so they think that the same game well do better on the 360 ??
give me a break capcom
With all of this money MS are meant to be shelling out im surprised they have any left at all.
So it's impossible that Capcom just thinks Xbox Live is the best suited online service for their game?
It's what you call a no-brainer, really. They're so used to paying for online, that's why.
What a blow to that "free" online service......finally a company to recognize the difference between free online and paid online....Now capcom dont ruin it by charging a monthly fee....
