I believe Monster Hunter requires a subscription in Japan. As such, I wouldn't be surprised to find out Nintendo offered Capcom a better deal than the money starving Sony in terms of the online fee.

It won't have subscriptions on Wii U as far as we can tell and portable games, the real meat of the franchise, never had them.

But maybe it'll change in MH4... being the first portable with online that is

The online in MH Tri was only free in US and Europe, they charged in Japan for it as far as I know. Don't know how it will be with 3G hdver.
