Forums - Gaming - Capcom has an ambition to make MH as popular in the West as it is in Japan

Haha! That's funny. Capcom would have to entirely re-invent the series to do that. The game is very unfriendly to most western gamers (think MGS 1, 2, and 3).

Although, the Wii could be their portal for that change.

I doubt the Japanese had the hang of the controls the minute they started playing so why should western gamers be any differeny

But... Metal Gear Solid 1 2 and 3 sold well in the west...

I don't see how it's unfriendly to western gamers either.

It's bascially an single player MMO but fun from what i can tell. (Kinda like FF12, but better gameplay wise)

Assuming they let you connect online with your friends... i could see a lot of MMO freaks loving it...(and the $10+ they save on a monthly subscription)

It's all a matter of getting people to give it a shot though... and that takes good advertising... and likely expensive advertising.

They've already said they were going to market MH3 in the US really well. And if they are aiming for this to happen...why WOULDN'T they bring it to the West?

I can't wait to hunt monsters with DMJ...and others ;)

If the PSP game bombs... they may think it's a lost cause.

Capcom can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one gets filled first.

 

Wishing=/=ambitioning. Wishing means they just HOPE it'll happen without any real effort or anything, ambitioning means they're going to put effort.

Not sure what's full of crap...Capcom or this post.

Actually I was just waiting for the opportunity to use that line here and I finally got the chance. That's about it.

The sad thing is I've been on this site before you, even signed up before you and you've managed to push through 17,000 posts in the same period. You've had thousands of crap posts I've read but I would never point that out to you (until now atleast). The point is, please put my post in it's correct genre, that of the Joke posts and not the Crap posts. Thank you sir.

PS. For every EPIC game you don't buy, I'll buy 2 ;D

 

lol. Well, if it's a joke then I'll let this pass. But you didn't hint that it was sarcasm =/

Neither did Andy Kaufman and he was a genius.  The best jokes are the ones only you know.

 

Kaufman may have been funny to the people he wasn't screwing with but he pissed off a lot of people in the process. In the real world they call it being an asshole, on the internet its called trolling.  So just spare us the comedy routine and stop actively trying to piss people off.

the game had better come here, i really dont see any reason why they wouldnt bring it here



 nintendo fanboy, but the good kind

proud soldier of nintopia

 


 Just for reference, even for Japan, we haven’t announced a date (or even a release year)

 

This is the most important thing in that article....Reading it like this it can take another couple of years before it will be released.






maybe if they released core games on core platforms then they would get that likability a lot faster.

have a lot easier time seeling an MH game on 360 or ps3, than on the wii. most people i know that own a wii play sports games or "quick round" games. not an intense game series like mh.
