Forums - Gaming - Monster Hunter Frontier G announced for Wii U, PS3 (Not Vita/3DS/PS4) [Japan Only So Far]

This is why the Wii U shouldn't be region locked, in case this stays in Japan.


On the PC you can't log into the Japanese version of the game at all outside of Japan afaik, to register for the Korean version you need a Korean Social Security Number. Even if the WiiU wasn't Region-locked, you wouldn't be able to play the game either way.

I find it funny how I accidentally confuse you two, even though the usernames themselves are very different, they convey the same message.

This will give the PS3 a huge boost over in JP! Still got my fingers crossed that, after that timed exclusive portable deal between Nintendo and Capcom is up, we'll see MH4 on PS Vita. God, that would be awesome.

Neither of the things listed in your post are likely to happen.

Yeah, you basically have to steal the Security Number from a South Korean (eg buy it on some very shady websites) or become a citizen of South Korea in order to play the game.

"The game has a built-in IP blocker that prevents IP addresses outside of Japan from connecting to the server, but it is still possible for residents in other countries to connect."

I don't know how this is supposed to work for the Japanese version of the game, though. Either way, even though the games don't have "hard" region locking (You can install the game on any PC afterall), you won't legally be able to play the game.

MH Frontier G is a VERY bad game to argue against Nintendo's Region Lock

Nice. Should help the Wii U. But it could launch on the PS3 at the same time the PS4 launches. Is that such a good idea?

As such, no PS4 version surprises me. Particularly as the U got one at launch.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

dont think it will leave japan, for either system. Im actually surprised its going to PS3 thought it would stay exclusive to Ninty systems.

Maybe sony will announce a PS4 version at tgs, final fantasy xiv was originally a PS3/PC title, till e3

So who knows



I bet this will be a PS4 launch title and their keeping it secret till Gamescon/TGS.

Maybe sell 500k. Console MHs don't tend to do well.
