Would be nice to see at least one of these hit outside of Japan. Yet with the NGP on the horizon if they did release it I probably wouldn't get it now. :(

Kalowest4823d ago

When is Monster Hunter Portable 3rd coming to the US; thats what i want to know.

TXIDarkAvenger4823d ago

I'm surprised people bought this, or more specifically a psp.

Istanbull4822d ago

Why are you suprised, PSP is the best selling gaming platform since 2009 in japan

TXIDarkAvenger4822d ago

My bad. If this bundle came out in America, I would be surprised if it sold a lot. PSP isn't getting major titles any more due to exploits of pretty much every firmware. With that being said, people would wait till NGP also people could have just bought monster hunters alone.

Myst4822d ago

Not to mention it's Monster Hunter so not as surprising as one might think.

Chevalier4823d ago

If you look closely it looks like the black/red psp is the same one in the god of war psp bundle that was released recently with ghost of sparta.

Capcom: Future of Monster Hunter outside Japan “very bright”

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."

GameTavern4391d ago

So it seems more and more likely that Nintendo will be a publishing partner on this going forward?

Stunt4391d ago

Might be what they're waiting for: Nintendo's final call on the whole thing.

GameTavern4391d ago

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.

ronin4life4391d ago

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.

FarCryLover1824391d ago

"very bright" = DLC out the WAZOO?!?!

ronin4life4391d ago

Mon hun has, as far as I know, only free dlc.

FarCryLover1824391d ago

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.

Jensen4391d ago

soo does that mean... no more MH on a sony device...?

sloth33954391d ago

maybe it should have real online on the ps3 and not just ad hoc

SamPao4390d ago

thats capcom, always relying on sony, but when sony does not deliver they change to nintendo, THE F!! whats wrong with these guys..

phantomexe4391d ago

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.

This will be a huge boost for the Vita whenever it releases.

Sev4441d ago

This is pretty much all the Vita needs in Japan and boom - PSP level sales.

Emilio_Estevez4441d ago

That is big news if it's true. Vita sales will jump in Japan.

decimalator4441d ago

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.
