Well whatever it is I wouldn't get your hopes up. Often when company representatives say stuff like "we're working on that" the solution they come up with is a lot less substantial than fans speculate.

Yep. Funny how these things get overexagerated.

Heck it could even be that Monster Hunter Wii is coming to the us since we don't really see the context of it.

I mean... Monster Hunter fans in the US doesn't seem to indicate anything like a new project.  Unless it was like... US only.  Seems like it'd be something that just wasn't announced in the US yet.

Like a release... or rerelease.

No...the site isnt a PS3 fan site.


PSblog isn't a PS3 fan site?  Cause that's where they lifted the story from.

It'd make no financial sense to make a HD version of Monster Hunter Tri3 for just the western market on top of a Wii version. MH just isn't a big enough franchise in the west.

Much more like he's referring to MH2G coming to NA and/or a PSP version of MHT3 for NA would be a port of the Wii version.

It could be if they fix some of the problems with the series(I heard the collision detection is horrible)

 

 

Fixing things in the series isn't going to do much. The reason MH isn't all that popular in the West is because:

1. Some of them didn't even hit the West.
2. The ones that did hit the West got like...no marketing whatsoever.

What's good though is Capcom said they push a heavy MH3 campaign in the West...which is great. I'm looking forward to it.

As for this, like DMJ said, it's probably that. I was thinking along the lines of MHF3 for the PSP as well...but we won't be seeing that for a while.

@bbsin

I don't. It's cheaper to just make one on the Wii and the Wii Japan userbase will be much higher anyway. With MH3 they could familiarize more people to the series on the Wii so there's no point at all to make one on the PS3. I'm not sure a good deal of PS3 owners would care about MH.

Sounds like they want a Dead Rising/Lost Planet sized hit with MH3 in the US.  I definitely want to check MH3 out.  I heard the series is a love it/ hate it affair but I will try it anyway

nowadays, it seems like Capcom is run by cavemen without brains.

Haha! Stop trying to twist words around. MH3 is Wii exclusive! Deal with it Sony!XD

Look at it this way. If the Wii is so ideal to develop for, wouldn't we see a Street fighter, Bionic commando, DMC4, RE5, etc on the Wii? There's also a much stronger DS install base in Japan oppsed to PSP, what prevented Capcom from making Monster hunter on the DS?  It's not always about the install base, sometimes the studios want to make the best product possible, and sometimes it's not going to be the cheapest option.

This thread is quite a stretch. But gotta keep hope alive, I guess. I was just on the GameFAQs MH3 board yesterday and there are STILL Sony fanboys holed up there bitching a screaming. Right now they're rocking back and forth telling themselves that a PS3 will come after the Wii version. I say don't hold your breath.

Half of those games started before the Wii came out, Street Fighter could still hit the Wii, and Bionic Commando I'm not so sure about. Those games aren't MH though. MH only has (VERY) limited appeal in the West and gets the majority of its sales from Japan. When Wii sales in Japan are MUCH, MUCH higher than PS3 sales in Japan...what's the point of making a MH on the PS3.

@Claude

lol. I checked the MH3 boards recently and I couldn't believe they were still going on about that. I mean enough already...the game was announced in October last year. It's still fun to watch them squirm though, especially since MH3 on the PS3 won't ever happen.

 

 

You don't understand people bringing up a topic that has been talked about to death in threads? I figured atleast you would understand.  y'know, all those blacked out comments on where KH3 is going that you love to do
