Since we're all too busy laughing at The Monster in the other thread, here's the deets on MHTriG on 3DS:

The MH3 water elements that were absent from PSP's Monster Hunster Portable 3rd, also an expanded version of MH3, are in MHP3G. The game is said to have a slightly different control feel for its water segments, while still retaining the overall feel of 3's water play.

One new control feature will make use of the system's lower touch screen. By touching, you'll be able to make your character automatically turn to face larger beasts.

Other features mentioned in Famitsu include local wireless play and a new main cover monster named Blakidios (I'm not sure if this is a totally new monster of it it's from a past title -- the name doesn't come up in the Monster Hunter Wiki).

A release is planned for the end of the year, Famitsu reports. The game will be playable at Tokyo Game Show next week.

Via Andriasang.



Cool that water areas are still in. I actually liked those.

 

[Brazil]

So... Yeah.



YEAHHHHHHHHHH.

With Mario Kart 7 and this out by the end of the year, the 3DS is gonna rock every Japanese gamer's world.

 

[TheExodu5]

It better come out with the attachment for the second analog stick. I am never playing with the claw again.

 

[Gospel]

Hahahaha

 

[InsaneZero]

...wait, an end of year release?

Right when the Vita is supposed to drop?

What?

WHAT?

 

[NomarTyme]

I hope its not a half ass job. Will buy next year with of 3DS Pro version.

 

[dallow_bg]

Oh yeah.... I guess it did.

 

[8BitsAtATime]

I really hope this comes to the U.S but it probably wont.

 

[Seven Force]

:lol @ the other monster.

Are they not implementing online for this? Seems weird that local wi-fi would be mentioned over online play.

 

[antonz]

...wait, an end of year release?

Right when the Vita is supposed to drop?

What?

WHAT?

Yeah Nintendo is really taking this fall and Vitas launch serious. An Insane selection of quality Nintendo titles and Monster Hunter. 3DS is gonna have an insane winter

I really hope this comes to the U.S but it probably wont.

It will guaranteed. 3DS doesnt have the piracy issue that PSP has

 

[Ken]

Good online play, please.

 

[Mpl90]

This is huge.
I mean,pad attachment huge.

 

[cws]

This Year ? Damm thats fast. ..
Day 1.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Well, Japan's taken care of. So what's Nintendo going to do about over here?

 

[Nix]

I'm getting this and MHP3HD, just because I can. Oh, and if I could trade over my Tri account here, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance Capcom. (It isn't gonna happen)

 

[Ridley327]

:lol @ the other monster.

Are they not implementing online for this? Seems weird that local wi-fi would be mentioned over online play.

It is odd that they wouldn't mention online play, seeing as Capcom's output for the 3DS comprise two/thirds of the available online library, but it seems anything is possible these past couple of days.

 

[AranhaHunter]

I'll repeat what I said in the other thread:

At least Nintendo got MH3G on 3DS, that might actually be the reason for this add on. Will be interesting to see how PSV will do now that MHP is not exclusive to it anymore.

 

[dallow_bg]

This is huge.
I mean,pad attachment huge.

I laughed.

 

[Bel Marduk]

No online?

 

[enishi]

:lol @ the other monster.

Are they not implementing online for this? Seems weird that local wi-fi would be mentioned over online play.

All Monster Hunter network play requires subscription fee, even it was a 5-yr old port from ps2 on Wii...

 

[pramath]

Yay?
I don't give a fuck anymore, to be honest.

 

[Captain N]

No online?

I know Monster Hunter Tri had online, but that's because you can't bring your Wii with you on the train in Japan.

 

[Truth101]

Holy shit.

 

[Totobeni]

Yeah Nintendo is really taking this fall and Vitas launch serious. An Insane selection of quality Nintendo titles and Monster Hunter. 3DS is gonna have an insane winter

Iwata is doing everything (getting MHTriG,DQX,Right Stick for 3DS, doing 3DS relaunch) to keep himself away from that ejection seat I guess.

 

[InsaneZero]

Yeah Nintendo is really taking this fall and Vitas launch serious. An Insane selection of quality Nintendo titles and Monster Hunter. 3DS is gonna have an insane winter


It will guaranteed. 3DS doesnt have the piracy issue that PSP has

Holy shit.

Even for all the talk about the monster (which is indeed goddamn retarded and I am eating crow for dinner tonight), if Nintendo can pull this winter off the Vita is going to be in really, really big trouble.

Of course, this risk also applies for Nintendo, so if they can't then the 3DS is fucked.

 

[PowerSmell]

lol it's like nobody cares that MH is confirmed in light of the second analog news.

 

[rpmurphy]

First the CCPro, now the slide pad cradle. Nintendo accommodating so much for Monster Hunter.

 

[Slime]

Laugh at the horrendous peripheral all you want, but...Vita's fucked.

 

[Grimmy]

NOW Sony's stocks can drop and it would be for a real video game-related reason.

 

[Alexios]

I want this game but not like this. The other monster could be bad enough to negate it.

 

[Erethian]

It is odd that they wouldn't mention online play, seeing as Capcom's output for the 3DS comprise two/thirds of the available online library, but it seems anything is possible these past couple of days.

Where handheld MH games are concerned online isn't of interest in Japan.

Or hell, with any mulitplayer handheld game for that matter.

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

Hmm... I guess I have to get a 3DS now. I just hope someone gets some Gecko OS-like system going so I can play imports.

 

[Yagharek]

Oh yay, some good news for a change.

 

[vareon]

Laugh at the horrendous peripheral all you want, but...Vita's fucked.

? Vita will get a Monster Hunter too and people will not need to buy a peripheral for it.

 

[Beardz]

I will wait for the revision.

 

[antonz]

? Vita will get a Monster Hunter too and people will not need to buy a peripheral for it.

Vita is getting a MH they can buy on PSN or play on PSP or PS3. No where near the same

 

[rpmurphy]

Oh yay, some good news for a change.

The slide pad cradle was part of the game's announcement.

 

[InsaneZero]

? Vita will get a Monster Hunter too and people will not need to buy a peripheral for it.

Vita's getting a port of a port that's reportedly terrible.

3DS is getting the next iteration of the main franchise.

This is huge.

 

[Teknoman]

So...does it not have online play? Or could we expect another marketing push for NA/EU with online added?

 

[LOCK]

Nintendo has been shelling out some serious dough for third party title recently. At least for Japan anyway.

I don't mind the add-on, so this is all cool.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

? Vita will get a Monster Hunter too and people will not need to buy a peripheral for it.

Vita's getting an old MH, the 3rd version of P3. 3DS getting 3G really is a big deal, this is the "next" release.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

lol it's like nobody cares that MH is confirmed in light of the second analog news.

I'm not confident Capcom can deliver a compelling MH game after seeing the game design in MHP3 and the sloppy port that was MHP3HD.

 

[StickSoldier]

Ugh, I want this game so I can play with my bro online... Please have online.....

 

[airmangataosenai]

Anyone who buys a 3DS before the hardware revision at this point is a sucker.

 

[Ridley327]

Where handheld MH games are concerned online isn't of interest in Japan.

Or hell, with any mulitplayer handheld game for that matter.

Yeah, well, there's other countries with people that like Monster Hunter too, you know!

 

[MasterShotgun]

FUCK YEAH MONSTER HUNTER 3DS!!!

:\

That add-on. Good that there will be a second stick, but that attachment looks big. I guess I'll upgrade to a new 3DS in the future after all. (Only after I can transfer my Ambassador games.)

 

[Yagharek]

The slide pad cradle was part of the game's announcement.

Yes, but anyone would have to admit that there has been nothing but schadenfraude when it comes to 3DS news. There are all too many people delighting in anything thats less than glowing news lately.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

I want this game but not like this. The other monster could be bad enough to negate it.

Just wait for 3DS Rite then. At least MGS3 will be playable now.

 

[Brazil]

So...does it not have online play? Or could we expect another marketing push for NA/EU with online added?

Maybe. Maybe they just wanted to get the game out by the year's end in Japan and ended up skipping the online mode.

 

[Erethian]

Vita is getting a MH they can buy on PSN or play on PSP or PS3. No where near the same

Though one has to assume Vita will get a more substantial MH game eventually.

The question is whether MH3G is successful enough that, by the time this new game comes around, the bulk of the audience already owns a 3DS.
