On the thread topic though, i dont think Nintendo money hated capcom for anything. Why did capcom screw Sony over? Because Sony screwed capcom over. Monster hunter is an important element on capcoms worldwide strategy, revealed by svenson on the capcom unity forums. He also said that capcom couldnt bring Portable 3rd and portable 3rd HD to the west because Sony refused to update their firmware for ad-hoc play in the west, to the same one they had in Japan. This ended up with capcom not releasing the games in the west.

MHtri worked with nintendo, so there you go. Add 2 with 2 and its perfectly obvious why nintendo didnt need to lure capcom away, sony themselves did that.

I never knew this, good read.

I actually should have been more specific, as MHportable 3rd HD was actually in development and had to be cancelled because of Sony refusing to update that ad-hoc firmware. Svensson said that he was personally disappointed the game didnt get released.
