Rumor: Monster Hunter 3 coming to PSP
- Thread starter Oldschool
- Start date
Maybe mechanically, but I think we've seen that the entire game concept works well on the handheld because you can "meet up" with your friends and go hunting in person. I think it's the big reason why Capcom has not put online play into the handheld games and the big reason for its success.EmCeeGramr said:

That's my fault I think. I mentioned Sega in the context of 'making bad self-destuctive business decisions' and I think people took it to me 'level of Wii support from a third party'.

It will still sell bazillions on Wii, solely by name and if the lines are TGS are to be believed.
Capcom is just making smart business sense here by maximising profits in two different markets. I cannot blame them.

This. Too bad that information is wasted on a troll not interested in the game regardless.Kyoufu said:

I didn't know about it until around the time when it was announced. Of course, I never grasped the impact of what it meant, but the first thing that came to my mind was that it's not an exclusive when I saw the Capcom label attached to it.
I don't own a Wii either.
BTW, the title should be changed. Just remove the "rumor" part and change it to "confirmed".

Still a rumor guys.
Though I could see it happening around a year after the Wii version.
On the PSP I mean.

Wow, totally shitty blog reporting mixed with rumours of something everyone knows is going to happen! It's a twofer!
Maxconsole: a rough translation of a chinese site that may or may not be accurate says that mh3 is not necessarily wii exclusive...
Maxconsole: MH3 to PSP!!!! REPORT TO THE INTERNET!
I mean, there's not a doubt in the world that there'll be a Monster Hunter Portable 3 for the PSP. Whether it's a port of the Wii version or a separate game... who knows? who cares? Either way, awful awful reporting.

Sure, but everyone and their mom saw this happening a mile away. We might as well make an exception with Capcom news involving exclusive and just label them as confirmed.

I actually like the MH games.

Yup, but Japan seems to like them and sell millions there. It's a non-issue to anywhere else really. This game will most likely not make it out of Japan anyway.

Err, yes?
There's three separate things going on here:
- There is going to to be another Monster Hunter for PSP. No one in specific is claiming this, but everyone knows it will happen. This has been known since MHP2G (the expansion to Monster Hunter Portable 2) was released in Japan.
- Maxconsole says a Chinese site says that MH3 is not necessarily Wii exclusive. No one knows if that's what the Chinese site actually says or if they're credible.
- Maxconsole speculates based on this that MH3 Wii will be ported to PSP. No one other than Maxconsole has suggested this will happen and Maxconsole is purely speculating here.

Why the hell do you think it was announced for Wii and not for HD consoles, like Resident Evil or Devil May Cry?
It would be a lot easier to share assets between Wii and PSP than PS360 and PSP.

That's not what I meant. I was more referring to the general public/casual gamers that don't visit message boards.
I wish they did a "M" rated Monster Hunter, kind of like playing Berserk where chunks and slabs of meat fly off as you slash your bigass swords...would love to see that.
I've given up on a next-gen Monhan...the only redeeming factor would be 3 coming to PSP. And I have no doubt it will happen...a lot of gamers I know play Monhan 2/2G...its nutz.

That's just flat-out wrong. Monster Hunter 3 had been announced for the PS3 before its move to the Wii.Totobeni said:

Capcom just shot themselves in the foot bla bla bla.
Everyone knew this, I don't know why this is news. One of the reasons (apart from money hatting) the game is on the Wii is because of the easy port to PSP (yes I know the Wii is far more powerful than a PSP, and I have been accused before of trolling for saying this).
Capcom logic: Make one and a half game (for the effort of porting), sell it twice, receive money-hat money == profit.
Nintendo logic: "laughs".

No no, everyone's talking about Monster Hunter Portable 3 (or Monster Hunter Freedom 3, whichever they decide to call it). Which most likely will be based on Monster Hunter tri.lynux3 said:
Capcom did this for Monster Hunter G and Monster Hunter 2, it would be ludicrous to think they'd stop now.

I agree. This isn't "Hey we don't have faith in the Wii let's do a quick port" this is "hey let's advertise this game as a Wii Exclusive then do a surprise PSP port to gain even more units". Seriously this is being done on every system I'm not surprised that it's being done on the Wii because unlike a game like say Zack and Wiki this will be an easy port. I mean this is expected since they did THE EXACT same thing with the PS2 games.
EDIT - Downward spiral of Wii third party support? WTF?
Defuser said:
Which is what makes the fact some people are surprised in this thread shocking, do you guys realize how much the last installment sold on PSP?
Whoever thinks that the PSP was not getting a MH3 game (Wii port or whatever) is either retarded or very misinformed, Capcom loves ports and they love money.
Also I fail to see how the PSP getting a port of a Wii game would be a sign that 3rd party support left the Wii, or that the Wii suffers because of it
For almost 2 years now the Wii has had to suffer with games being built on the PS2 and PSP and ported to it, now things are changing and because you can port down its somehow a failure on the Wii :lol
I suppose every game that was designed for the PS2 and then ported or retrofitted in someway to the PSP meant the PS2 was a flop
