No, because it's on the wrong system. Sorry.

Just think... If it was on the Vita it would have increased total systems sold by over 50%.



if on vita, vita hardware in japan definitely would be almost 3mil! SOME people here believe that mh4 would of sold as much as it did on 3ds if it were on vita *facepalm lol

I never understood why people like Monster Hunter... Than again, I can never understand Japan in General... Perhaps thats why I love them so much, they always do the unexpected


You get to team up with three other people, kill monsters on quests, use their body parts to make new armor and weapons (in addition to mining, farming, etc.) What's hard to understand?

I bet 4th week will be higher than 3rd week in sales!

Have you ever played MH?

Playing the game is the easiest way to have this opinion.

It's unlikely, but not impossible.
I'm guessing around 4M retail when all is said and done.

To each their own.  I'm sure you play plenty of games that I probably consider terrible.

I was teasing, but MH has a lot of old mechanics that can really turn off people. Especially after playing the other hunting games that do just about everything better.

I like the concept of having the gear increase your character stats rather than just leveling up.  Not too many games have that type of approach to character building.  I will admit that grinding for full sets / weapons can be tedious sometimes (having to fight the same monster over and over again to get the right parts to form the armor and weapons).
