Obviously not, because Monster Hunter was announced before both systems were even released if I'm right.

However, everyone with a brain could definitely predict the outcome. Capcom apparently had a brain, 3DS was always a safer bet from the start. aikohualda here too, he got what I meant.

It was announced in September 2011.  After the 3DS, before the Vita.

Thanks for the correction. Shouldn't have been so lazy and checked some facts .

If Nintendo was paying for 3rd parties to be on their system, then the Wii would have gotten a lot more 3rd party support, even if it was just multiplatform games that in real life only came to the PS3 & 360.

The way EA & the game reviewers & the media talk about Nintendo, well, clearly Nintendo has never paid 3rd Parties nor anyone else any money for any support.

Sony & Microsoft have clearly paid 3rd parties for games, but clearly Nintendo never gives money to pimps who try to whore out any titles.

If Nintendo has shown us anything, it's that they just make the most interactive video game system they can and hope 3rd parties like it. Also Nintendo has shown that they never go to 3rd parties, but 3rd parties do sometimes go to them, like The Wonderful 101 & Bayonetta 2. If you decide to co-op a game with Nintendo it will be exclusive. Lego City Undercover is only on Wii U because of its capability to be 100% open world with that particular world. Nintendo let Lego know that the 3DS is capable of the same open world, but with 240p graphics, and then Lego decided to make a prequel to show off the Lego City world in 3D, like you are there in person because it's a Lego game.

There is a big difference between paying 1 exclusive vs paying for multiple exclusives, reviewers, media.

Monster Hunter was hands down the biggest series on PSP in Japan, 25% of PSP owners own the most recent Monster Hunter. By stealing that series, Nintendo has greatly hurt Sony portables in Japan.

PS3 doesnt have any 1 series in Japan that clearly sold the system. In order for Wii to steal the PS3 audience, Nintendo would have had to buy Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid exclusivity. And in the west would have to buy Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty exclusivity.


But wouldn't there be confirmation of such a thing.

 Everyone knew Project Cafe was the New Home Console, and NOT a Nintendo Zone set-up.

No not at all, has Sony or Microsoft ever confirmed the only reason a 3rd party game was exclusive was becaus they paid for it? The only time a company announces something like that is if the game wouldnt have been made in the first place, an example is Bayonetta 2.

I have no idea what ur second sentence is talking about


I didn't meant Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft would ever confirm such a thing. I just meant that people around the industry would have leaked it, like how every single thing Nintendo does, gets leaked all the time.

Plus Capcom wouldn't release Monster Hunter 3 on the 3DS if Monster Hunter 4 being a 3DS exclusive was any of Nintendo's doing.

The only reason we are getting Godzilla (2014) & Jurassic Park 4 & Independence Day 2 & 3 is because of 3D.

With Godzilla & Jurassic Park 4 you get giant creatures in 3D, so clearly Capcom thinking was to make the next Monster Hunter game right away since there is a glasses-free 3D device, and to make it an exclusive to the 3DS because the purpose of Monster 4 is to have giant monsters in 3D !

Plus as I said, Capcom would never release Monster Hunter 3 for 3DS if Monster Hunter 4 was bought by Nintendo. So this shows that Capcom was interested in making Monster Hunter 4 a 3DS exclusive because of 3D.

You can't tell me that anyone is going to see Godzilla (2014) in 2D. So why would anyone from Japan want to play Monster Hunter 4 in 2D. (the Japanese really love 3D since 2006 or earlier)

The only reason Capcom made Monster Hunter 4 a 3DS exclusive is the same reason they made 2 Residen Evil games like Mercemaries 3D, and is the same reason Square-Enix made a Kingdom Hearts 3DS exclusive.....3D.

(..)

Come on, be honest, do you seriously not believe a userbase difference of 30m had anything to do with it?


In September 2011 the 3DS wasn't that good in sales until like November 2011. Remember the 3D Nintendo is doom stories back then.

Plus it showed that Capcom had already been working on it before February 26 2K11.

The 3DS is freaking monster. Can't wait to see those sales w/Pokémon, definitely considering picking one of these babies up.

Why would Capcom release MH3 on 3DS if MH4 was paid by Nintendo? To get the Monster Hunter fanbase on 3DS and because MH3 was already a Nintendo exclusive and almost every Monster Hunter game gets ported at least once.

Not only are ur movie examples irrelevent but also make no sense. Where is ur proof that those movies wouldnt have been made without 3D?

Stop acting like ur half thought out, biased theories are fact.

Get 3DS or 3DS XL.

The 3D makes everything look way more clearer looking then you have ever seen video games look like. And the 3DS also makes things look nso much more brighter & vivid & way more anti-aliasing looking, and the colors look much more deeper looking because of 3D.

Samething applies to the movie theaters & 3D TVs for watching something in 3D over seeing it in crappy looking 2D (crappy looking in comparison).

3D just makes everything a way more High-Def looking without any high-def.

In resident evil revelations you want to go to options and change depth from Normal to Very Strong, and ghange Aim from its default to Gyro, so you can do true Panarama view to aim at the zombies when you are holding down the R button.

Also get Surround Sound headphones because it does 6.0 speaker sound via earphone jack. I suggest "Plantronics Gamecom 777" because it's cheap & durable & converts 5.1 & up surround sound into 7.1 Surround Sound. There's a seperate microphone jack plug that I just leave unplug when I plug in the earphone jack plug.

But the Japanese love 3D since around the year 2000 and by no later then 2006 they all have had 3D and even glasses-free 3D TVs, and Capcom is a Japanese company that is run by Japanese people.

Monster Hunter 4 was announced back in September 2011 which means they had already been working on it since before February 26 2011.

People love to see giant monsters in 3D, as shown with Pacific Rim 3D & Godzilla 3D & Jurassic Park 4 3D, and Monster Hunter is about giant monsters.

Plus Nintendo has never bought a 3rd party title to be exclusive before, so on earth would they buy Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D & Kingdom Hearts 3D & Monster Hunter 4 & Mega Man Legends 3 (cancel)?

If Nintendo was like that, then you would hear of tons of 3rd Party exclusives on Wii. But Nintendo has never done & will never do that, because that's not the kind of people who have ever worked at Nintendo.

If you have another theory of why Monster Hunter 4 is 3DS exclusive then please tell me your other theories please.

WTF are u going on about, I didnt say Nintnendo buys every exclusive that comes there way. I said its possible they bought Monster Hunter, thats a single franchise and by far the biggest competitors biggest game. Getting that as an exclusive instantly hurts tge competition.

Why did Resident Evil come to 3DS? Well N64, GC, Wii, DS all had a Resident Evil game it only makes sense 3DS would as well. As for Kingdom Hearts, both GBA and DS had an exclusive entry.
