A few days prior to the start of the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom announced Monster Hunter 4 as a 3DS title. A big coup for Nintendo, or is this going to be another example of Capcom's multiplatform strategy?
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has been discounted to $16.33 on 3DS and $19.79 on Wii U. Also on sale are Monster Hunter 4 ($28.99) as well as the upcoming Monster Hunter Generations ($31.99 for Amazon Prime members).
Check out a gallery of images for the epic-looking figure, designed by Final Fantasy's Tetsuya Nomura.
Monster Hunter X sold 1,542,104 units within its first two days of sale in Japan, according to a Famitsu report. The number includes retail copies, download cards, and the Monster Hunter X Special Pack. (It does not, however, include sales of the download version through the eShop.)
Additionally, 3DS hardware (including 3DS LL, New 3DS, and New 3DS LL) moved a total 133,628 units, compared to the previous week’s 33,203 units.
Here’s Monster Hunter X‘s launch numbers compared to previous big 3DS titles:
(Note: These are all according to Famitsu sales numbers.)
Pokemon X and Y – 2,096,050
Monster Hunter 4 – 1,875,115
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate – 1,617,949
Monster Hunter X – 1,542,104
I hope so too, but judging from past titles we'll be waiting for the ultimate version before they decide to localize it.
good to see strong console software sales come out of japan.
Yes, That means that One Kid You Knew in Elementary School's uncle at Nintendo will still have a job! ;)
When Monster Hunter gets made for a non-Nintendo console I'll be more interested. I'd be much happier with a PS4/Xbone version with fully integrated online play.
There will be a MH online that runs on CryEngine 3. I also hope this one makes it here.

This is still the close beta and it looks amazing.
I hope it comes back to a PS console, been waiting since MHFU (Freedom Unite). I'd prefer the PS4 over the Vita.
Of course you would be. I mean why support Nintendo, when you can be the cool kid on the block and be Anti-Nintendo?
Anti-Nintendo has nothing to do with it. The PS4 and Xbone are more powerful machines with a much more robust and friendly online service. It opens up the game to a significantly wider audience while also allowing for an improvement in quality.
@BranWheatKillah - fair enough, I was only joking. The fact that you said a non-Nintendo console made it seem like you had other motives. If the NX is more powerful than the PS4, then is there a problem with playing it on that machine?
@BranWheatKillah
those wider audiences rather
play CoD, Madden, NBA, GTA, Assassin Creed, Need For Speed, FiFa and all the other popular western games.
That's a pretty flat out denial. If it was coming to Vita at all he would have said "We can neither confirm nor deny".
It's 3DS exclusive by the looks of things.... pretty shocking turn of events.
No wonder Nintendo let them have that ugly stick....
With companies such as Nintendo copying technology such as PSP's Nub than PS Vita's nubs, better processor tech, they get some PSP games.
Now that PS Vita has some touch input and better processors of its own, it is getting little DS games on the PS Store, Wii games, etc.
There is kind of cross chatter among developers and specifically publishers when it comes to new hardware and pre-existing IP's going to different platforms. If Monster Hunter was just developed by indy developers and released exclusively on the Ps Store for PSP, that team would have had some deal with SCE for good money but, not as good with Capcom.
It is not over though. I believe Mon Hun is destined to be cross platform but, Capcom is holding all the cards. PS Vita version would be nice, I think. :)
Current is the key word. We could have our own MH in development in the next six months.
No current plans means he doesn't plan to tell. Comments like that truly mean nothing.
