Monster Hunter 3 Portable HD was released last year on PS3 and Vita... around the time Monster Hunter 4 was announced (Vita version released after the announcement). On top of that Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is on the Wii U. What kind of exclusive contract did they make that makes it not exclusive to the 3DS?

Check the new tittle ;)

Which still didn't answer my question, Monster Hunter 3 Portable is handheld and released on Vita AFTER Monster Hunter 4 was announced.  I don't doubt Monster Hunter "exclusivity", but there's probably a lot of mistranslations going on when this person released this rumour.  Maybe it was exclusive just for Monster Hunter 4 which would make sense since Monster Hunter 4 technically isn't the portable series.

Wait, a MH for the Vita? Didn't knew that, it's not on VGC database. 

Yeah, it's a port of Monster Hunter Portable 3 HD.


Are you guys sure it actually got released for Vita. It was shown of at the systems reveal but since theres been literally no video's to suggest it can actually be bought on Vita's PSN or in stores. I thought the Vita version was cancelled?

But i say Monster Hunter had a great legs  more the install base will be bigger more the game will sold well it could start in psvita will 200k and and with 1 millions witch is not that bad.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Whatever it was.  It has an actual Vita case, I saw it at the import store.

 

Like this?

 

It's a Download code of a PSP game in a Vita case.

Yes, except in Japanese obviously.

Depends when the contract was agreed and how far into development the game was, contracts like this usually only cover new games from the time the contract is signed with games already in development not covered by that agreement.
