A few hours ago, Capcom held a Monster Hunter press conference in Japan and put an embargo on all of the news. However, a savvy Twitter user captured the big story – Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.
An experienced Monster Hunter veteran looks at the best games in the series, explaining what makes each one so great.
Gematsu: "Capcom held one of their regular “Ask Capcom” live stream events today, during which the company’s Christian Svensson addressed fan concerns over the Monster Hunter franchise’s fate in the west."
So it seems more and more likely that Nintendo will be a publishing partner on this going forward?
I have to imagine that publishing in the West was part of the deal Nintendo made to get the game and 4 on the 3DS
That or sacrificing Mario's first born.
I think that capcoms deep relationship with Nintendo has more to do with it. (Though I wouldn't rule out such deals and partnerships.)
They have been close partners on quite a few projects over the years.
That's a good thing. But based on Capcom's track record, one would assume otherwise. Hopefully Capcom are on the right path and won't charge much in the States.
thats capcom, always relying on sony, but when sony does not deliver they change to nintendo, THE F!! whats wrong with these guys..
I had never played a monster hunter game until i played the one on the Wii and i loved it. This one was money well spent.
With the Vita’s sales lagging in Japan, there’s one series that could quickly turn things around – Monster Hunter. If Play.com is to be trusted, the Vita is in luck as “Monster Hunter Portable 3” is set to come to the system sometime in the future. - PSLS
Please, please, please be true. I was considering learning Japanese so I could finally play MHP3rd on PSP. A native Vita version in English would be teh awesome.
so its pretty much NOT monster hunter 3 tri
judging by this its most likely a new entry in the MH series
i just find it weird that the would call it 3rd
im assuming because its the 3rd portable monster hunter that isn't an expansion
I hope one day i'll see a Monster Hunter game for the Ps3 since i heard good things from the series and my friends tell me that i'd enjoy such a game.
Give me MH3 for my PS3 please! All i want is to play MH on an HD console. I get a lot of stiff neck from playing MH on my psp. Im not really unhappy with it but i feel better playing with my joystick and large screen tv. Plus it would be a joy to play it online with a lot of different people for a change.
It seems to me that any MH game is worth getting, and you may never need another game ever - just so much to do!
It's quite annoying that the biggest innovation in the series as of late has been waggle on the wii, but if they stick to the crappy controls for the PSP version, I will rage! Honestly, do you need the nipple, d-pad AND Left shoulder button all to move and look around? No, probably not. Fix it CAPCOM!
Well, the predecessor sold 3.8 mil in Japan ALONE. What did you expect?
