For those that need reminding. This is why MonHun is on 3DS.

Do you have a link to the stream?

The stream became private after it ended, so links to it wouldn't work. Capcom Channel tends to uploads these events, so if you really wanna watch the stream just follow them. Nothing really happened in the stream. It was just some event where they hunted and this teaser was the big thing at the end.

You post that as if MonHun being on Vita wouldn't have effected it's fortunes as a system.

Doesnts matter really. Since there is existing proof of revenue vs. a what if scenario.

When Capcom is in poor shape as is you can bet they will go with the existing source over attempting a what if.

Its why they are throwing the Vita users the not wanted MHF game instead. Resources already exist from the PC version which is getting slight graphical updates too from the latest version. Instead of having to redo everything from the 3DS version to put it into HD for the PSV.

It could just be as simple as Them wanting to be on the same system as Pokemon or maybe Nintendo is more lenient when it comes to limited edition consoles.

If the DS had been powerful enough to run MHP you bet your ass it would have been on that instead of the PSP. It's a numbers game when it comes down to it.

This is such a stupid image and the fact that your touting it as a reason is even more embarrassing.

MH on the PSP sold more you do know that. Do you want to me to make a chart that compares MH3rd sales to a tonne of niche 3DS titles? Well I'm not because thats incredibly stupid.

Its just simple economics really.

A company has limited resources. Therefore they cant go porting something to everything just because. You need to pick and choose where said resources go. Which obviously is allocated to the side which will bring in the most risk free potential profit.

Don't bother explaining dude. I mean, if the people upset about the image can't understand that just by looking at it there's no point. I posted the image because I didn't want to type a ton of text to explain it to everybody.

What does the PSP have to do anything? The choices for 4 and 4G were 3ds and vita. Capcom made the correct choice based on sales.

TBF the PSP was selling a heck of a lot more than the Vita even without MH so that argument doesn't wash.

Anyway pointless argument aside. I wonder if this will be a 2015 or 2014 western release.

Yeah no shit right? Seriously I dont even know why I fucking bother at times.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Three years later and people still cant let MH on Vita go. MH gamers this gen are on 3DS - no need for Capcom to switch things up at this point, thats like expecting Squaresoft to put Final Fantasy maingames also on N64 after they release FF7 and FF8 on PSX.

You posted the image to be a douchebag and fan the flames.

Need this in my life. I miss Monster Hunter so much after selling my WiiU. Not quite the same without online. As a Vita and 3DS owner I don't care what it's on. Vita would be slightly more preferable because better visuals and controls, but it's not gonna happen so whatever. Still gonna be amazing.

There was a Hannah Montana PSP. How much leniency could they possibly require?

If it was purely a numbers game why have they wasted their time on WiiU versions?

you can't be serious.

the PSP prior to MoHu was selling like shit, then they got MoHu and sales skyrocketed. it would do the same for the vita

People flock to whatever system mainline MoHu is.

It doesn't matter if it's on the 3DS, Vita or a toaster.

btw. Still no trailer ?

Your analogy just as bad as these port begging.

What I really want to know is if the localized version will get any of the cross over stuff in the localization. Even if it's preorders only, I really want that Chopper One Piece crossover and all the other cool shit that happened when Monster Hunter released.

I also hope they release those white and black XLs because as much as I love my ACNL 3DS XL, I'd totally double dip for that Airu/Meirou white XL. I fucking love cats.

well this thread went to shit..good job. i'm guessing the cycle will continue once the ps4 gets released in Japan as well smh

Anywho OT: Well that sure was fast. I was thinking they will do this for next year. Wonder if Capcom will go for a COD like model. Haven't seen their financials but I'm guessing that's one of the reasons. Should make some good revenue as usual

Eh Vita was selling below 8k first year without price cut. 3DS was selling 30k. Even with MH it wouldn't have changed Vita's initial fortunes much, and extra 10k a week probably. Hell 3G would have likely not sold that much. That wouldn't have helped Capcom much at all.

Outside of multiplatform 3DS was certainly the right call no doubt about that.

I'd so buy a toaster if it would imprint my bread with an Airou...

I still have this thing from back in 2007.

Granted its not toast but its just as cool. At the monhan cafe they had some weird desert that used a giant cube of bread though lol

Probably not the licensed stuff. Tri in Japan got excuslive licensed content we never got here. As long as we get the Link/Zelda armor/weapons I'm good. I've been meaning to make a female hunter and use a bows. That would give me the perfect excuse.

Climbing on the walls after Ceanataur would be pretty awesome.

I'm hoping for the return of Monoblos. He is so much cooler than that poser Diablos.

Yeah Monos armor was just so much better looking too. I swear to god I hate Diablos D:

I only played a bit of the 2nd gen games and never got to the crabs so I'd love for them to make a return. I

The crabs were pretty badass. Back in 2G on the PS2 when starting out as a naked nublet you could pretty much get one shotted by the move it does when it comes bursting out of the sand shell first. Good times. Then getting chased by a ton of the little ones...

Also they seriously need to bring back "furry rex". As I miss fighting that asshole. So much better looking that Tiga not to mention makes better gear too.
