Since MH3 is on the Wii...will MHF3 be on the DS?

This is ridiculous. If a game like Ninja Gaiden can be done on the DS, then why can't Monster Hunter be done on the DS?

Let me sum up your problems:

Problem: DS has teh graphicz who suckzorzzz
Answer: Easy. Just lower the graphics levels. I'm sure we can all agree that gameplay can be nice with lesser graphics, as long as the gameplay is recreated, instead of just dumbed down. Look at Zelda: PH. Is it as pretty as tWW, which was on a superior platform? No, but it has at least as solid basic gameplay. Why? Because the game was DESIGNED FOR the DS, from the beginning.

Problem: DS has teh cartridgezzzz it cants put all Monster Hunter love on therezz
Answer: See the answer to the previous question. To make the game LITERALLY fit on DS, make sure it's gameplay fits DS.

Problem: teh controlz of DS suckz touchscreen doesznt work cuz PSP rullllez
Answer: in essence I can give you exactly the same answer as before: DS'ify the gameplay. The controls will be touch-oriented, and thus play fine.

Problem: Hardcore doesn't sell on DS if it's third-party
Answer: Even if Monster Hunter has a attach rate half of what it has on PSP, it still sells as good on DS, maybe even better. The DS has sold so many units now in Japan, everything sells.


I'm sure if Capcom makes a good try, the game can be done on DS. But not in it's current form, no.
