I have not heard one confirmation that Nintendo paid a single cent for any of Capcom's games. Infact earlier this year Capcom stated it would be scaling back its 3DS support. Now your right Nintendo could be paying Capcom for MH4, but what evidence is their supporting this claim? The reason I believe it was announced is because Capcom has always supported Nintendo. Even during GameCube Capcom released multiple titles including exclusives for the GCN. I think when they saw how well DS did they expected 3DS to sell shit loads and they began development on several projects. Look at how many titles were announced for 3DS prior to release from Capcom. Capcom was hugely supportive of 3DS, their title StreetFighter4 was also the highest grossing third party game on 3DS. But if MH3G fails to generate adequate sales then I can't see MH4 coming to 3DS. Unless you are right and Nintendo pays out the ying yang for it. If Nintendo is paying Capcom for exclusivity then yes it will come. But there is currently no evidence to support that, usually Nintendo announces these kinds of deals. We all knew about RE4's exclusivity deal long before it launched, If money was changing hands and Nintendo was paying Capcom Its sort of expected that this deal would come out. I've looked high and low for any articles suggesting Nintendo bought MH4 exclusivity or even having it on 3DS at all. I found nothing to suggest any sort of deal was made for any of Capcom's titles for 3DS. Capcom has always supported Nintendo and Sony, I don't see why Capcom would stick with 3DS if MHTG fails to sell. It wouldn't make business sense especially with Capcom's investors being so deeply against 3DS. Unless Nintendo is paying major dough for its release I think there remains a very good chance it will either get cancelled or ported to a different platform. Of course if 3DS sales pick up and MHTG sells fairly well then this game will definatly come. But I wouldn't assume that its coming until you see the outcome of MHTG. |
Again:
- There is a peripheral developed for this game
- Capcom had Monster Hunter 3 on Wii to test the waters - there is no need for another test game. Why do you assume 3G is a test? Its job is to get the Monster Hunter fanbase over to the 3DS
- Nintendo published Monster Hunter 3 in the west
- Nintendo gives this game high priority - they will most certainly publish 3G and 4 in the west as well
- There is not one but two full bown Monster Hunter games on the 3DS now
- The trailer we've seen for 4 was in-game. It was not some cut-scene teaser it was actual gameplay footage. This game is in the midst of development, not in the planning phase
- The PSP version of Monster Hunter 3 "mysteriously" never appeared in the west
You really don't think Nintendo made some sort of deal with Capcom?
