Everyone still waiting on Monster Hunter Vita... this time last year they were saying the announcement was imminent... this time next year they will still be saying the announcement is imminent. |
Well it is imminent. Read my comments above.
I myself am not a fan of the series, but it was crucial to the PSPs success in Japan and it will be crucial to the Vita's.

"Imminent" is not the same as "inevitable." Imminent has a sense of urgency to it. MH Vita was not imminent last year if it still hasn't been announced... especially considering MH4 was announced over a year before its intended release.
It may well be that MH Vita will eventually happen, especially given Capcom's love of money. But if it doesn't come until 2015, I don't think it will be the knight in shining armor everyone wants it to be.

This +1
Monster Hunter will remain a Nintendo exclusive for a while. Capcom have stated that Monster Hunter 3 went to the Wii due to high development costs for PS3 - http://www.joystiq.com/2007/10/10/ps3-monster-hunter-3-cut-due-to-high-dev-costs/. If Capcom follows the same logic, 3DS games are cheaper to make than PS Vita games and Wii U games will be cheaper to make compared to next-gen consoles... I don't see Monster Hunter appearing on Sony platforms for a while.

Well they could develop for Vita and port it over to PS4 later. Seemed to work fine for Portable 3rd.
Besides the potential for a 3rd party game to sell on a Nintendo console is much lower than it is for a Sony one. A Monster Hunter game on Vita would increase sales on that platform and allow Capcom to make OTHER games besides Monster Hunter for it and make a profit from them as well.
Besides a Sony exec said Monster Hunter was supposed to come out this year. Who knows what happened there.

That's not necessarily true, because some third party games sell pretty well on Nintendo consoles like Monster Hunter and some others. Sure, everybody gets distracted by the all first party titles and some of the second party. Capcom has made other series exclusive to Nintendo consoles in the past, like when made resident evil an exculsive on the gamecube. It wasn't because they had any problem with Sony it was because they wanted a more powerful system to develop games for, kinda the opposite of the situtiton with the PS3.
Its probably going to stay on Nintendo for now, why move it to Vita when the install base of 3DS is so much larger(and growing fast) and it sells well on the that system, at least so far. Don't believe everything Sony tells you.
