"“Started playing my first monster hunter game last night. on 3DS. it’s not exactly playable without that circle pad pro atrocity… i don’t understand. why would you even release a game like that on a platform like that? why is it not out on let’s say… vita? you know, the one where you could control the camera. it’s too bad because MH looks like it’s basically phantasy star online but not in space. and i love me some PSO. the whole entire thing was a mistake if you ask me.”"

How can you not agree with at least this part?

3D is gimmicky as fk.

But meh I got it for the software. Can't live w/o pokemon to play.

Man, I can play Monster Hunter normally without the circle pad pro, I'm already High-Rank, and I'm playing solo!

1. It is playable, and works pretty well mind you.

2. It is not an atrocity.

3. Because it's profitable and great for the gamers.

4. It's not selling well, and less people would be able to enjoy it.

5. You can do that on the 3DS version, and as I said, works pretty well if you give it a chance.

6. No idea.

7. No one asked him, and it will be proven it was not a mistake.

So i'd like to add my 2 cents to this discussion. First I feel it almost mandatory to say that i'm a Nintendo fan too. Don't let the Playstation Nation Sig fool you, I also like Nintendo and I actually have a 3DS and I DON'T have a Vita.

I love the 3DS. Pokemon Black 2 gets played a lot as i'm pretty into competitive battling, Kid Icarus Uprising is my favorite game for the system. I bought Crimson Shroud on the eshop (pretty fun actually). Mario Kart 7 has quite a few hours into it (trying to beat my damn time on Neo Bowser city lol) I still need to pick up Fire Emblem since the first two weeks none of the retailers nearby had em in stock. Etrian Odyssey IV AND Monster Hunter 3 are two other games that I'd like to get as well.

That being said I agree with Fish on this particular issue. I played the Monster Hunter 3G demo and thought it was pretty awkward. This is coming from someone who played Monster Hunter on PSP and Kid Icarus without the stylus as well as Re: Revelations without the CPP. I'm not finicky when it comes to controls at all, but Monster Hunter 3G DID feel a little weird imo. Will I still get it? Yes most likely, but I don't see how anyone can say that it WOULDN'T play better on a Vita.

Two analog sticks would be wonderful for Monster Hunter, it simply would be. Monster Hunter has a lot of different actions each with their own corresponding animations. You want to chug some potions to restore health? Go ahead, but you better be damn sure you aren't in danger of getting hit because the drinking animation lasts for a few seconds and that boss could bitch smack you while you are recovering and kill you. Your weapon is getting dull, want to sharpen it? Go ahead, but be sure nothing hits you while you are sharpening it. Even the dodge roll has a recovery time. All this is by design to make the player think about their actions. Having to fumble around with the camera is just annoying though. It would feel like such a smoother experience at least as far as the controls go if it was on Vita.

If the devs actually tried to make Monster Hunter 3G on Vita and made use of the superior hardware, it would definitely look better as well.

As far as the 3DS goes, the two screens is by design and I don't actually mind it. Sometimes it can cut down on the clutter or make the HUD less obtrusive. The 3D in my opinion IS gimicky though and I rarely play with it on. It's annoying to manage as you have to sit just right for it to work and it really doesn't add all that much to the gameplay experience. It's a great system and I play it everyday, and there are still more games that I want to get for it.

Not saying i'm a fan of this guy either, hell i've never even played Fez. Still though, his opinions are valid.

So when this guy was Shitting on Microsoft a few months back over the FEZ incident he was a god among men and hero of the people. But now that he has an negative opinion about a Nintendo device he is Satan reincarnated lol. I would point out the Irony but you don't even know the meaning of the word.

I believe there was also 1 incident where he said most Japan devs suck or something.

yup here it is.

Wat i dont understand is why people cant take out $20 extra for the CPP? I mean 1st of all the 3DS is more fit with just 1 anolog(even though i wish it had 2 to begin with) and while some games scream a second anolog like RE revelations and MH3U(both work good without 2nd analog either way) why cant they just buy a CPP? Complaints its more $$ but rather have it on Vita?

Well you can get 3 CPP with a 3DS and it'll be cheaper than a vita cuz you'll need to get a memory card anyway. Some people will agree with this guy only cuz MH3U is not on the platform they want. Its too bad, Get both Handhelds and if not dont complain.

I want Gravity Rush and One Piece Warriors 2. You dont hear me saying it'll be better on 3DS cuz of 2 screens. Its my problem i dont own a vita yet. Plain and Simple

oh well, would have been nice to have the batttery pack built into the extra circle pad attachment.

unknown reasons guessing Nintendo put their foot down to sell the CPP lol.

This led to some choice responses from followers, to which Fish responded by saying, "I made a statement about their games, not their whole entire f***ing culture."

This guy needs some anger management classes.
