This game will neither be cancelled nor released on the PS Vita. This is a 3DS exclusive game.

Capcom already had Monster Hunter 3 on the Wii to test the waters. If that game had underperformed they would have already scrapped the 3DS versions.

This is not a "test" game, Capcom is going all out on this one. They not only announced one game but two and Nintendo even developed a peripheral with a second stick and more buttons to get this game, something very dangerous to do for obvious reasons. Plus you can bet there will be a huge advertising campaign, special hardware bundles and Nintendo is definitely going to publish and market this game in the west. Hell, Nintendo even stated the 3DS price was mainly cut to please developers.

You can bet your ... Nintendo has this game locked and sealed with all sorts of contracts.

Also, Capcom has a full blown Resident Evil on the 3DS and a spin-off. It must have taken months if not years for Nintendo to achieve this. They've got multiple iterations of their two biggest franchises on this platform.
Capcom just went "all in" on the 3DS.


hear..hear... lol!!!

So, I assume that the first one is Revelations, so they still have to announce a spin-off. Lightgun played with gyroscope?

I have to give Nintendo props for turning things around with the 3DS. Having two MH games is huge, and having one of them released before the Vita launch is a huge blow for Sony. Even if MH4 gets announced for the Vita, the 3DS has a huge price advantage, and Nintendo could always dish out another Pokemon game. Nintendo has this in the bag.

let's not forget that since the 3DS only cost Nintendo $100 around or before march 2011...they could cut the price even further.

This estimate is far off and Nintendo has officially said that they are selling 3DS hardware at a loss right now.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Good news for Nintendo, although I haven't played a Monster Hunter game it seems like a killer game for handhelds and something that could really help the Nintendo 3DS take off.

As for the Nintendo "fans" in this thread, don't get too excited, just because a great game has been announced for your system doesn't give you the right to start patronising and mocking the Vita and its followers. I'm happy for you, but seriously, grow up. More than likely a Monster Hunter game will be announced for the Vita, they aren't going to turn their backs on arguably their biggest fanbase, so don't start making these "PS Vita is doomed" threads.


That's the way it is around here.  It's been a while since they could throw eggs at Sony.  I love Nintendo (not Nintendo of America, though) and I love Sony but sometimes Ninty's fans can get on my nerves.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

That article was making assumptions that Nintendo is taking a loss.  Also, the source of the article had not only been removed but is somewhat dubious seeing it came from a site that typically caters to downing NIntendo (ie GameInformer with the Wii etc).   I found another article from a more reputable site that seems more fair in translating Iwata's investor commentary:   http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2389406,00.asp   hopefully this helps but until we see the books this march 2011.  We will see how much 3DS (and for that matter the Wii) price cut had an affect on Nintendo's profitablility.   In any case, if Nintendo was selling the 3DS for a small loss; one would assume it would still be less of a risk than the Vita which has more expensive components and therefore probably a bigger loss for Sony!!!
