Andriasang: Microsoft and Capcom are teaming up for a promotion that will pair Xbox 360 with one of its most high profile Japan-only titles, Monster Hunter Frontier Online.
Last week, a report from inven said that CAPCOM Korea is developing Monster Hunter Frontier Online 2, the sequel to Tencent’s Monster Hunter Online. But CAPCOM immediately dispel the rumor on March 28, and said that haven’t the plan to develop the sequel currently.
Grant from Denkiphile: "Hadoukens, Hadoukens everywhere in the contest announced by Capcom, a collaborative effort between Monhan and Fate/Stay Night, and we find out that Japan actually plays MOBAs."
Capcom is still celebrating Street Fighter’s 25th anniversary in Japan. The publisher announced a crossover with Monster Hunter Frontier Online, the online enabled PC and Xbox 360 game.
now if only if this was an xbox exclusive that would do for M$ in japan
It's not gonna sell for several reasons:
1.This game is has been out for the 360 for awhile now and people who wanted it for the 360 have it.
2.People probably bought the PC version already.
3.The 360 is not popular in Japan.
4.Japan loves Monster Hunter on handhelds more (PSP).
5.PS3 is getting a Monster Hunter HD port later this year and this port can link up with the PSP version which already sold a ton.
Kudos for trying. I don't know if ANYTHING can get Japan excited about the Xbox, but a promo along these lines is smart. A price drop would help too, considering the strong yen means Microsoft could afford one. Why is Kinect still 15,000 yen (over $183)?
