Of course there's no Wii U version planned. They're not going to announce a Wii U version while 4U is in development.

Down the line after 4U 3DS is released, though? Bet on it.

Monster Hunter isn't as fun when you can't understand everything instantly.
I tried with 4, but that's just me.

You're probably right. The way they do things is pretty disgusting.

Bought a Vita for Monster Hunter...

Bought a Wii U (mostly) for Monster Hunter...
> Played and enjoyed 3U was waiting patiently for 4/4U.

Looks like I'm going to have to get a 3DS and a circle pad pro then.

Until MH5 is announced for yet another platform.

I do that and then I gotta clean it off with a microfiber to get the fingerprint off, plus I risk scratching the screen. No thanks.

The screen can handle it.

Between the monster-centering option and the virtual D-pad camera control on the touchscreen for fine-tuning, camera control in Monster Hunter 4 is very easy, unless you're scared to touch a touchscreen with your thumb. You really don't need a Circle Pad Pro.

Not that I don't believe Capcom but:


"Capcom Has 'No Plans' to Bring Monster Hunter to PS Vita"

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/04/26/capcom-has-no-plans-to-bring-monster-hunter-to-ps-vita

Then:

"TGS: Monster Hunter: Frontier G Announced for Vita"

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/09/19/tgs-monster-hunter-frontier-g-announced-for-vita

Frontier G doesn't really count.

What hurts the most is that this is what's going to happen. CAPCOM :/

 

[DragonGirl]

Dear Capcom. I want to play Monster Hunter on a TV with a comfortable controller. I do not want to play Monster Hunter on a hand held. That is all.

 

[Aiustis]

I don't mind since I prefer my monhun portable and since 4U has online, I wouldnt have gotten it for Wii U anyway.

You could always start saving for the latest iPad or iPhone when they announce an exclusive game for iOS.

4 years of Monster Hunter on a single platform.
Dunno what's so crazy about that.

And only two games on that platform. The third is coming out and who knows where the next might hit.

What on Earth? Use a screen protector.

Guessing MH5 will release 2016 multiplatform HD and on 3DS...

 

[Lizardus]

the 3ds has smooth as butter fps, while the wiiU is badly optimized and locked at 30 and below.

Yeah, below.

Don't know why, they probably screwed up something or the used commands like

delay (ms)

Get your facts right

http://ps360.ldblog.jp/archives/53856715.html

Minimum 32 FPS and Maximum 47 FPS

 

[MightyKAC]

I wonder if this means that Capcom is already planning a Monster Hunter game for whatever console Nintendo plans to release after the Wii U and is simply using those resources for that instead.

That to me is about the only scenario that makes any sense at all...

Monster Hunter 3G and 4 were announced for the 3DS before the Vita was even released.

What in the heck were you thinking? That's your own bad.

You're stealth port begging.

We all know where it will end up, and what agenda you're pushing with this post.

Or they just won't release one for the Wii U because they don't think it will sell well, I don't see why that isn't one of the scenarios.

Also, they may just reveal it later on.

 

[EdwardTeach]

Dear Capcom. I want to play Monster Hunter on a TV with a comfortable controller. I do not want to play Monster Hunter on a hand held. That is all.

Agreed. I dont own a 3ds and have no plans to buy one.

I DO own a wii u and enjoyed monster hunter, and would buy MH4 if it was released.

 

[cafemomo]

I don't see why they would.

MoHu is still a Japanese franchise through and through, they ain't gonna shell out resources so they can appease some gaijins

 

[EdwardTeach]

Do Nintendo have any kind of exclusivity deal for monster hunter? I am curious why capcom are not releasing it on vita or playstations.

I assume its because they are targeting it at the single biggest market in japanese gamers, and perhaps figure that it wouldnt be profitable to try and segment that market between different platforms.

 

[Mysterious Stranger]

Capcom doesn't like money I guess!

Capcom released MH for whatever is more popular.

They announced 3U for Wii U and 3DS at the same time... Cross-play and cloud sync were touted as big features.

 

[tronic307]

I bought both last time. Why doesn't Capcom want my money?

 

[NetMapel]

Capcom is not known to want money seeing as they refuse to localize Edgeworth 2 game here...

 

[Nemecyst]

Considering I already have MH4 for my japanese 3ds, and both 3 ultimate for both systems, Capcom could easily get 2 more sales out of me instead of just 1. It felt really good playing on an 80-inch screen.

 

[Fahrenheit]

Hope it comes to WiiU at somepoint. Not that I don't have a 3DS (i do) it's just the thought of putting 200hrs of monster hunter in on that analog nub makes my hands hurt.

 

[Skyzard]

Damn, why they don't want my money?

They want it all.

 

[MrD2DG]

To be fair, in terms of western releases it's less than that.

Monster Hunter 3G and 4 were announced for the 3DS before the Vita was even released.

What in the heck were you thinking? That's your own bad.

Yeah I presumed (wrongly) that after the success of the Freedom series on PSP, we'd get portable sequels on the Vita. I'm sure Sony even showed Portable 3rd running on it (probably the PSP version) during the Vita reveal.

Like I said, I'll probably have to get a 3DS to play MH4U anyway, I gotta go where the series goes...

 

[Nohar]

I'm a little disappointed, but fine with it nonetheless. MH4U will have online from the get-go on the 3DS, so it is one less incentive to pick a console version over the portable one.

I just hope that the text will be easily readable. I haven't played the 3DS version of MH3U, so I can't make comparisons, but the font size of the Wii U version was just too small, making it very hard to read (if not outright painful for my eyes). Sure, more often than not it isn't that big of a problem, but when browsing the armors and trying to read their skills (which were written in an even smaller font size), it was a difficult and tedious experience.

Hah, clicked with that video in my head; glad to see him so excited.

 

[BRocknRolla]

No interest then. Can't stand the control scheme without a second stick, and I'm not going to bolt on another stick to make it work. It's a real shame. I seriously enjoyed the Wii U version of the last game.

I'll be giving it a shot but I seriously doubt I'll be able to put the same amount of time into 4U as I did into 3U. It just blows my mind how Capcom seems allergic to giving the series decent controls.

 

[Boogdud]

What hurts the most is that this is what's going to happen. CAPCOM :/

Capcpom eyeballing them hardware sales mighty hard right about now.

Of course, it would take logic to send the game to a new platform (let's face it, ps4 is the only hope and it's not even doing great in japan). Let's not pretend that there's an ounce of logic to anything they do.

Having said that, subtracting logic from the equation, maybe there's hope for a vita release after all!

Here's hoping Nintendo buys out Capcom so we can get a console Monster Hunter consistently.

Boring weapon...

http://youtu.be/0JoCStLsRq8?t=50s

Mh4 didn't, and mh4u won't have it either.
I don't see the point to be honest. The game plays perfectly with the cpp.. I liked the controls in mh4 way more than those from the wiiu version. Probably because the bottom screen is just more useful in the 3ds versions of the game

Well, some people have 2ds' for example.

 

[Mupod]

They announced 3U for Wii U and 3DS at the same time... Cross-play and cloud sync were touted as big features.

that was a totally different situation. The Wii U version had been out for months at that point in Japan, and the 3DS version had been out for years.

I still don't think a Wii U version is out of the question, but I never expected it to be available day 1. Although it'd be nice.

edit: on the subject of target lock I was able to play the MH3U demo with it just fine, since that didn't support the frankenstick. Once I got access to dual analogs I never touched it again though.

I'm personally planning to get a 3DSXL and CPPXL for 4U. Hoping for some kind of bundle.

 

[Zornica]

I guess you haven't played ps2 in a while?


also mh4 doesn't have underwater combat. it's perfectly playable without the 2nd stick. Using the target camera is more than sufficient.
