Has Capcom ever put out the sales numbers for Monster Hunter in nonjapan territories?
I'd figure that even with NA and EU combined, that the games aren't exactly power houses for capcom. Which would mean they release them more so just because MH has a diehard community.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Holy crap.

This would make me break my no-videogame-or-anime-figures rule.

Any figure with Lagi armor? Oooh... or Bracchidios?

 

[depward]

Wonder if "trolling NA MonHun fans" was a required job duty bullet point in the job description because he's off to a rip-roaring start. Good lord.

 

[Jader7777]

Brazil delivers Japan to the west. Believe.

 

[Krabboss]

How long have they been teasing with "news coming later/soon/this year" now? What could they have planned that they aren't ready to share yet? If it's a 3G/4 localisation, I don't know if I understand why that would have to be teased for so long. I'm just about expecting the worst of this upcoming announcement. Something along the lines of "No plans for 3G or 4 outside of Japan, but we're thinking hard about the future of MH in the West. Stay tuned, thanks!"

 

[Kurod]

"It's a bright future for western Monster Hunter fans. We're pleased to announce the return of Rathalos armor in Lost Planet 3. Enjoy!"

10$.

 

[Nibel]

Just announce it already for the US, geez..

 

[SteveWD40]

and the UK / EU...

I am holding off on picking up a 3DSXL until I find out what the score is, I put hundreds of hours into the PSP games and if we are forced to wait till MH4 (2014 at the rate they go) then I will just pick up a Vita and play Freedom Unite while crying salty tears.

 

[demigod]

I'm calling it, Monster Hunter 3HD for PS3 announcement before end of year!

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Yes, we were discussing this.

And I want MH3G more than MH4. Invisible Narga >>>

Capcom has a presentation at gamescom, maybe there?

August 14

Oh oh oh oh oh.

 

[Shiggy]

Saying that it's not coming out could be considered as news too.

 

[electroplankton]

Oh oh oh oh oh.

I think it's pretty much confirmed there's an announced title at Capcom's GDC.

 

[jercruz]

"We are happy to finally annouce today, only here, that we are NOT bringing MH3G to the states."

I hope its MH3G but I'm not expecting it.

 

[MightyKAC]

Capcom can announce all the announcement they want, but until I see some actual and solid MH info I'm gonna file this under the same "Whatever" pile that's been building up back since Sven first started opening his mouth and selling us all wolf tickets.

 

[electroplankton]

The funny thing is that EDGE made a preview of the game as it would have been in PAL stores during Q2 (they also wrote that).

This!

With tears running down my face!

Source please? It could be Lost Planet.

 

[Alrus]

Except the west outside of a minor niche doesn't want Monster Hunter. So, uh...?

MH Tri shipped around 800k copies in the west, that's not a minor niche at all.

 

[Erethian]

If there is going to be a localisation announcement it'll be MH3G over MH4, because it's way, way too early for the latter.

 

[Wazzim]

MH3G with online or bust. It's time Capcom.

 

[Mejilan]

Honestly, john tv playing coy in the other thread is bigger news, IMHO.

 

[The Hermit]

Hopefully, with the new brazilian rep we will have it here before the states... That would be an amazing troll thing from Capcom

[RurouniZel]

Honestly, enough with the fucking teasing. Just ANNOUNCE something already!! >_<

 

[Forkball]

All current Monster Hunter games in development will be exclusive to Nintendo DS. That's right, DS.

 

[Vegivo]

I swear, if the announcement is for a future announcement and not a game, I'm going to set up a Monster Hunter base camp on Capcom's front lawn and start grilling aptonoth steaks. They're going to smell delicious and I won't share any with the employees until I get some answers.

haha xD

 

[Kacho]

So we can expect news next month I assume? If we see any kind of localization, I imagine it would be Monster Hunter 3G. I don't see why they would announce Monster Hunter 4 so early.

My guess is October for US/EU 3G (announced at Gcon). Someone did a timeline of when they usually announce the localization and it releases and it fits.

They can't deny their isn't the demand, P3rd was at the tail end of the PSP's life so they might have deemed it not worth it.

 

[Javier]

American release of MH3G and MH4 confirmed to be Portuguese-only.

 

[AgentOtaku]

MY

GOD

Is this still available to buy!?

EDIT: OMG, it's up for preorder on BigBadToyStore!

 

[AtomskEater]

Announcements of announcements are my favorite part of the games industry.

 

[EvilMario]

Come to me, my precious.

 

[phosphor112]

Megaton: Super MH4 Fighter HD Super Remix Deluxe confirmed for Vita.

Yes.

TWO Super's.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

The extra e's in "very" makes this credible!

 

[Kacho]

Yeah, I can't see them releasing P3rd at this point, even if it was a digital only release on PSN. Maybe they announce a port of P3rd HD for the Vita, who knows?

 

[Mejilan]

?

He's 8-4. 8-4 handled Tri's localization.

Can't easily search from my phone. But word of this new employee hit that thread as well, before this one was created.

Not sure if that link will work, but IIRC, he posted near the bottom of page 7 in 100 post view.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I really wish they would shut up at this point. Their announcement of announcements with no actual game announcements is getting old to say the least.

Thanks, read it. Im still hoping, but at this point the only acceptable reason for pushing the announcement back so oft has to be the addition of a robust online mode/interface. Im hyped for the game, but they really should deliver this time - it could be big on 3DS.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Announcement of a announcement of another announcement.

 

[Joni]

Saying the game isn't coming is also news.

"MH3G is not coming, but please look forward to MH4, we plan to bring it as soon as possible."

That's what I'm expecting, so basically, wait another two years for a MH game in english.

I'm not expecting such a drastic addition for a simple handheld port. Would be nice, though.
Game needs to come over quickly though...

I'm expecting them to keep trolling with announcement announcements and never release anything.

I gotta agree, after all this teasing/trolling, adding online is the only thing that would make the wait worth it.

 

[Peru]

I don't think they're teasing MH3. MH3 in the west is DEAD. It's MH4 they're teasing.

The game pretty much was already translated - why would they have to wait that long to announce a western version ? This 3DS title seems like free-money to me, especially after they sold already more than expected in Japan. Wasnt there a post where the Capcom guy ( Svensson i think) pretty much confirmed that MH would need a online component to succeed in western markets ?
