With the talk of Versus being co developed by Sony, what about something like Sony working with Square on something like Final Fantasy Type 1? I think That would probably help.
Square Enix won't even release Type-0 on Vita.

Portable, I meant. Hadn't seen the bigger picture, though. You could say it has a port, which is basically the same PS3 got.Huh?
360 - Monster Hunter Frontier
PS3 - Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD
PSP - A lot
Wii U - Monster Hunter Tri G HD
Wii - Monster Hunter G, Monster Hunter Tri
3DS - Monster Hunter Tri G, Monster Hunter 4
PSVita - Nothing
DS has been discontinued so I don't count that anymore, even if it wasn't DS never got an MH because it couldn't run one. Vita can run a Monster Hunter.
wut

Isn't that just because it's already playable?

Not in North America or Europe. The game was never released outside of Japan.
If Capcom brings anything else to the platform at this point, no matter how small-scale, I'd be surprised.
Why do these threads contain over-complicated reasoning when "moneyhats" would suffice?
And we all know a MH for Vita in Japan would have moved systems like crazy, which would have made the "Vita isn't selling well" argument irrelevant.
The real question is, why should Capcom need to move systems for Sony? It's better for Capcom to already have some install base already.Why do these threads contain over-complicated reasoning when "moneyhats" would suffice?

Because it's doubtful that Nintendo needed moneyhats to get MH on their system. It was simply a sound business move by Capcom to move to a Nintendo handheld. It's the least risky move you could make for a Japanese-oriented franchise.
right and P3rd never got an expansion on PSP for a different reason eh
People always complain that Nintendo has no third parties support,.
Once N gets one people also complain. Even Sony the first party ignores Vita. Why should Capcom take care of it?

Never really thought about it since there's virtually no chance I'd be able to play it but was it put on the 360 because of moneyhats? Or was it because the 360 was so similar to a PC?It's a port of Monster Hunter Frontier. The Asia only "MMO".
All i want from Capcom is Street fighter arcade edition with cross platform play like SFxTekken.
True. The Vita has, even 1 1/2 years after release in Japan, no relevance for the Japan market (or the worrldwide market) and even Sony does nothing about this fact. Why should some publisher bother to make games for the Vita in Japan?
Monster Hunter was the big fish in a small pond on Vita. On 3Ds, they are just another fish in a pond of Nintendo sharks
Yes, a business that once moved Resident Evil to the second worst selling platform of the generation.
Capcom is just weird when making decision when it comes to releasing to platforms. See Capcom 5 "exclusive" on Gamecube.
I really don't care about Vita personally, but every time I read Capcom talking about their plans, it sounds pretty much "We are not planning anything of what our fans want at the moment".
The full quote:"We've got no plans for PS Vita Monster Hunter at the moment because our devs decided next gen is too hard. So they're going to keep rehashing the same game that was originally released on the PS2, except make it look even worse."
Also, any Capcom branch outside of Japan is out of the loop. They have put out false statements in the past. I'm hard on this franchise because its one if my favorites. every new iteration is more frustrating than the last because of how it never advances. mh deserves to be open world HD with physics.
What kills this same argument that keeps getting brought up is that Capcom already had a MH planned for the 3DS BEFORE the Vita was even released. Capcom had no way of knowing how the Vita would sell yet they were already making a MH for Nintendo. As for your claim that Sony is doing nothing, obviously them releasing games and cutting the price of the Vita is doing nothing. I 'd hate to see what you call Nintendo's handling of the Wii U.
Why are people so surprised or resistant to the idea that publishers can make platform decisions prior to their release based on projections and expectations with regard to sales?What kills this same argument that keeps getting brought up is that Capcom already had a MH planned for the 3DS BEFORE the Vita was even released.

I don't blame Capcom. Sony isn't supporting the Vita so why should Capcom?
Why exactly?I'm not resistant to the idea of projections but your logic is basically stating that Capcom knew the Vita was going to sell badly many months before the the thing even released which not even the staunchest of analysts would have been to make that call that early. All Vita's failings have done now is given Capcom a reason to justify not bringing anything to Vita.
To be fair, isnt 3rd basically an expansion to Tri?
I mean, G and 3rd are both extensions of Tri
Um, they started as enhanced ports of the PS2 games, the Portable title implying that it's that game, Monster Hunter, ported to and tuned for the Playstation Portable. Like Mario 64 DS, RE4Wii, or whatever other ports.Portable series and Main series are two diferent things altogether
Then why do you think niche developers like Falcom and 5PB are making Vita games? Because it's a better fit for the platform.
And I'm pretty sure MH would work a lot better on the Vita given its origins.
OuchThey also have no plans for Monster Hunter Ouya either.
"We have no plans to make a profit"
He was speaking from Sony's perspective.Not sure if serious.
They started as enhanced ports of the PS2 games, the Portable title implying that it's that game, Monster Hunter, but tuned for portability.
3rd was the first to deviate from the formula, likely because they couldn't port things like the water hunts and filled in the blanks with new content. But then it was also on PS3 so once again the same as a home game.
No, it isn't.
Portable series and Main series are two diferent things altogether, although for all I know MHP3rd took some things off Tri but without water areas.
In fact many were reasonably expecting a MH3rdG on PSP - that they have completely skiped so far - and not MH3U on 3DS, so it appears they have completely ditched Portable series - although 3DS is techincally a handheld, 3G is based off Tri unlike MHP3, a little confusing I know.
3rd isn't G for the PSP because it doesn't have G rank, the primary characteristic of the G expansions. It's more like an alternate Tri. But again it's the only Portable entry that was so different to the home entry, all the others were much more direct ports. It was the circumstances of that single title that necessitated that change, otherwise the series was one before that and now continues as one after that regardless of what he claims.I fail to see the difference. Sure the G versions have always been "expansions" but there is nothing about 3rd to say it isnt basically G for the PSP.
Also about your last sentence, are you saying 3G is based on Tri while 3rd isnt? If 3rd isnt based on Tri why do they share the majority of the content?
If 3rd isnt based on Tri why do they share the majority of the content?
Monster Hunter Tri is on a different engine than TriG as they moved the latter to MT Framework, so that doesn't really mean shit.but in my understanding they run on different engines and different graphic styles altogether.
