| Innervate said: Nintendo can advertise it all they want, this still begs the question: Is this a game western gamers want? I honestly don't see Monster Hunter doing anywhere as well here and in Europe as it does in Japan, at least with how the series is currently handled. It's not a bridge game, it doesn't use motion controls and it isn't pick up and play; I'm failling to see how Nintendo can properly market this game. |
Many series that 'western gamers' probably wouldn't have liked before are now loved by western gamers due to advertising. Such as Persona, Kingdom Hearts and even Final Fantasy. I see no reason why Monster Hunter would be any different. In fact, it would probably be MORE interesting to western gamers after advertising due to it having 1) good graphics 2) a more 'western appeal (aka dragons/western medieval setting) and 3) it looks a lot like other games that did well here such as Phantasy Star Online.
