Ahh, yeah, forgot about that one. It's already been on PC and 360 though, right? I could simply say that it wasn't developed as a multiplatform game, but simply ported to more consoles years after release.


Tehe, I was waiting for that one too :P

Of course it's a valid point, and it's not the same as brand new multi-plat release.  But still, it's a change from the Monster Hunter methods of old.  Previously we'd have old games ported either to a solo platform (i.e. Freedom Unite) or to a pair of platforms under one company's umbrella (i.e. Tri Ultimate).  This is the first time we're seeing a port, almost simultaneous (albeit delayed by a couple of weeks on Wii-U) to different consoles by different manufacturers.

It certainly appears like shift in the thinking.
