NeoSeeker - Japan's appetite for gaming proved to be most sated with Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on PSP, according to a customer satisfaction survery conducted by Media Create which gauged opinions from January all the way up to October this year.
However, a new and formidable challenger for meeting and beating player expectations for software just appeared last week, if the enthusiasm for Capcom's Monster Hunter Portable 3rd is any indication.
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.
Wow this is doing about as good as Pokemon! Which did 2.6 million in 2 days
Anyone know if they've added better camera controls for this? forcing people to use the claw is innoying.
lock-on or shoulder camera would be awesome.
