You know I really tried to like this game. I download 3 demo on the 3ds and I just couldn't get into it. Story is a huge thing for me and I've heard its just not really centered around much of a story. Is there something I'm missing here?

Monster Hunter immerses you in the game, but without a great story, it's all about the feel, that feel of having only an iron sword to kill a giant monster, that feel of killing that monster with 20 seconds left, and that feel of killing a ridiculously big dragon with your friends, even knowing you were at disadvantage,It's about feeling like a hunter, with immersive gameplay and funny multiplayer, it's not in vain so many people invest hundreds of hours in this game, believe me, it's a great game!

Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) just announed that shipments of its "Monster Hunter 4" game for Nintendo 3DS™ in Japan have exceeded two million units :) Success!

So...



That's freaking a lot. At first I didn't expect this game to top the PSP ones, but at this rate it probably will.

...it's unclear, yes.

Companies have included digital sales when talking about shipments before, so if it's not explicitly stated otherwise, it's better to assume that digital sales are included in the figures.

Plus, i believe in japan they sell downloadable cards and im not sure if they are included as retail or digitals....

I had it on good authority that Monster Hunter only sold well because of the PSP and would not perform well on a Nintendo console because I don't know.



...

You two suck.





For comparison's sake, MHP3rd did 2,146,467 in 5 days.

Let's not forget that PSP had an installed base of 16 millins systems against 3DS' 12.5 million.
