Andriasang: Gamers line up outside major retailers in Japan.
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.
I'm not really a sales figures guy, but the PSP has really hit it's stride in the East. That thing is a monster.
The past few years with all the support from Atlus and XSeed, it's become my JRPG machine of choice too. DS has quite a few too, but they're more SNES retro style than PS2 console JRPG. Great time to have either handheld really, if you dig JRPGs.
I would be in that line to, I don't know if it's a good thing or not that a lot of people don't play that game. Not a mad rush of people to get the games, but no midnight launches either :/.
Capcom should really bring this experience to the console. I mean they could easily implement better gameplay mechanics, graphics, enviroments, more hours and great online. Just please don't make it like Lost Planet 2 co-op features.
Damn, only japan plays MH. I never saw this game outside asia.
Wait... Isnt the PSP Dead?... The answer is NO.
@HOZI89...
Monster Hunter was originally going to be a Ps3 exclusive, but was cancelled by Capcom. I believed it was done as result of the install base of the Wii. Also, at that time, the Ps3 was still really expensive. I hated Capcom for that. Imagine the numbers it would push? Plus a good online infrastructure?!
