Is Capcom close enough to Sony for MH5 Vita?

So many people who think Monster Hunter would be multiplat if not for that meddling Nintendo.

Capcom releases a new Monster Hunter every year, and it has never been multiplat. MH, MHG, and MH2 were not multiplat when they were on PS2. Portable, Portable 2nd, Portable 2nd G, Portable 3rd were not multiplat when they were on PSP. But Tri, 3G, 4, 4G come along and suddenly Capcom must be beholden to some deal they made to keep these exclusive.

Possible? Sure. But jumping to such conclusions is just blaming the boogeyman for things that have always been.

Anyway, @OT, I don't think Sony cares enough about the Vita to go to the trouble of doing that.

PS2 was the only relevant console for the first MonHuns. DS couldn't handle a 3D monster hunter, so PSP was the only handheld option.

By the time the series was huge, the PS3 version of Monster Hunter 3 was mysteriously cancelled and then a Wii version was announced. Since then, every MH has been Nintendo exclusive, despite not matching the PSP entries. That's why people think Nintendo had a hand in it.

I actually believe they had a hand when Capcom's excuse for no Monster Hunter 4 on Wii U was becasue each entry has to be exclusive... at an event promoting a multiplatform Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate...  that said, I stand by my earlier comments.
