During a press event in Japan, Capcom announced Monster Hunter Portable 3rd for the PSP. The game will feature all the monsters, weapons, and moves from Monster Hunter 3. To make the game more enticing to PSP owners, there will also be a number of new additions made to the game like the new wolf and bear monsters for example. Some new moves will be added, too. What won't make the cut will be the few water-based levels from Monster Hunter 3, unfortunately. This isn't a port of Monster Hunter 3, which will release on Wii in North America in a month's time.
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.
yes but it looks very poor i love my ds they dont try to get graphics out of it that are impossible and i knew mh3 wasnt coming to psp how silly to think that wow this monster hunter psp the 3rd is looking rubbish ill wait for ds2 and get monster hunter 4 on wii2/ds2 capcom recently said to nintendo please make the online very robust for ds2 what ever that means
wow just watched the whole trailer and it is very bad graphic wise this is what the ps2 would look like if it tried the wii beast that is MH3 sorry sony fans but the wii is hugely more powerful than the psp/ps2 combined 3 times over the gamecube was 3 times the ps2 the wii is 7 times the ps2 im talking fill rate ect what makes a game look impressive and next gen is fill rate
looks cool
I can't wait! Easily one of my favorite Portable franchise on the PSP. I spend 100's of hours playing both games by myself and online (adhoc party and Xlink). Can't wait to master these new monsters although it sucks that most of the old ones are gone. I wonder if they will bring backs the bowgun and the likes..
I really do love this series but I wish they would bring it over to PS3. The online would be insane, no more having to use my PS3 to play with other people!
I can't quite remember but isn't Capcom bringing a MH over to 360?
