Forums - Sony - Sony’s Future With The Monster Hunter Franchise Uncertain

You know, I know a lot of us like MH, but really, this will only effect PSV sales in Asia, not so much the west, so if people really want the new MH, just get a 3DS. Nintendo is actually working on making the series more popular in the west and they are doing a better job than Capcom or SONY in recent years so I don't see this as a bad thing. The 3DS is not even that expensive now, you can always pick it up a year or 2 after you buy the Vita.

The Sony fandom still needs to learn the lesson that no franchise is fixed and permanent. Monster Hunter is hopefully the last franchise where we'll have to go through this "but why not PS/PS Exclusive?!?" line...



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

MH's producer had this to say about the 3DS in a JP newspaper:

"3DS to convey a world of perfect gaming.
Hopes to succeed in global markets."

"and emphasize cooperation with Nintendo."

So I wouldn't expect MH Vita anytime soon.

If Ninty and capcom gets reeeeaaaaally close, expect a monster hunter cartoon near you to promote the game in the west.

Gotta hunt 'em all! Gotta hunt 'em all!

Now we know nintendo is just bribing


"hey be exclusive to US and you can be popular in the west. Trust me you have no future with them."

*US does not mean united states of America

It's sad how I never got into Monster Hunter, always heard such good things.

Soriku ... what would you Xxpect CAPCOM to say? Stop being naive. When you have a exclusive deal with a company that you both will benefiting from ( IE CAPCOM -free marketing NINTENDO big exclusive ) your not suppose show indication that it will end up elsewhere eventually . remember Vesperia?

PS = multiplatform, including PlayStation.

PS Exclusive = self explanatory.

Looks like they are also interested in the 3d  aspect of the hendheld as well.

"[8:49] He says the 3D aspect will bring a lot of people back to Monster Hunter."

You mean like how SE and Nintendo are doing the same thing with DQ which is still Nintendo exclusive...or MH3 being Nintendo exclusive as well (MHP3 isn't the same as MH3/MH3G. And now MH4 is on the 3DS exclusively.)?

Vesperia is a different case.



This CAPCOM! do you reall think CAPCOM will actually leave the SONY handheld gang behind? c'mon CAPCOM wants to expand monster not restrict it again. DQ being xxclusive is Hori's choice. DQ always appears on the most successful consoles this gen that happens to be Wii/DS...thats just DQ tradition.
