Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I have a feeling looking at wii u sales in japan..

MH4U on WiiU is practically a given, especially as the MH3U WiiU sales were certainly satisfactory to Capcom.

Pretty sure it'll get announced in the near future

I think they'll want to try on a more popular console globally this time around, so unless Nintendo hands them a bag of money I'm sure the next console MH will come to PS4.

Except with regards to MH4, Nintendo already has given them money to lock that away as an exclusive. Console versions of MH are just gravy to Capcom anyway. Handhelds are where MH is still primarily focused. 

Sony would have to hand a much bigger bag of money for MH5 than Nintendo would. 3DS already has the fanbase already established and WiiU and PS4 versions wouldn't sell that much different anyway.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I highly doubt Monster Hunter would do much for Wii U if it's just an updated MH4. On 3DS MH4+4G has sold like 5 million, the fanbase is firmly on 3DS and the Wii U,version would primary sell to the same people who bought Tri on a Wii U.

MH5 could potentially do some good but I very highly doubt Capcom would go along with releasing their biggest money maker on a console with such a low install base. Nintendo would have to give them more money than they make from selling 5 million copies of MH5+5G on 3DS for it to be worthwhile for Capcom. That's not going to happen.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

If Nintendo would just secure a MH as a Wii U exclusive all their problems would be gone over night.

they can only get an exclusive MH on WiiU if they pay for the 3~ million lost sales due to the game not releasing on 3DS, which doesn't sound like a sound business decision



Hang on didn't the PS4 have a limited edition released? Wouldn't that explain the sales this week.

ON a side note Nintendo could do the same. Have limited edition themed Wii U consoles and NOT just a gold border on the gamepad like they did for zelda. Full on pimped console. Imagine a proper monster hunter themed bundle.

yea the Dragon Quest console released last week (without the game), so I think PS4 numbers might drop next week and WiiU could pass it again in weekly sales

Are you sure? So far no sign of it and handheld MH sells a lot better. MH4G is announced for the beginning of 2015 in the West, so we will see.



3DS-FC: 4511-1768-7903 (Mii-Name: Mnementh), Nintendo-Network-ID: Mnementh, Switch: SW-7706-3819-9381 (Mnementh)

my greatest games: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023

10 years greatest game event!

Nintendo won't do anything.



I think that is already in the pipeline for a while. There have been many requests for it in the west.

I do have a feeling they will release a Vita version of it aswell though.
