I don't quite understand Monster Hunter (aside from that it's huge in Japan).
I believe that PSP was successful in Japan partly because they had MH games - and indeed, VGChartz lists the three best selling games in the series as being on the PSP.
But these are 'freedom' games. Is that anything to do with the main series? Can't Sony just ask Capcom to make another Monster Hunter Freedom game?
Idk. If I'm missing something, feel free to let me know!
