Monster Hunter Portable 3G Announced
Capcom’s big franchise hits yet another platform, but it’s bringing something extra for its 3Ds debut….
It may not have exactly caught on in North America or Europe, but in Japan, the Monster Hunter series is huge. Huge.
If anything is going to increase hardware sales in Japan, it’s a new Monster Hunter game. To that end, Nintendo must be very thankful for Capcom releasing a new portable iteration for their system during its tough times.
Titled Monster Hunter Portable 3G (which, incidentally, does not feature 3G connectivity), this portable version of Monster Hunter Tri features the usual additions and features in previous titles, although one advantage the 3DS version has over the PSP edition is the ability to swim underwater and hunt some of the deadliest aquatic enemies known to fans.
But the bigger addition is the included right circle pad attachment, of which you can see for yourself here. As expected, the new attachment will allow for a free roaming camera, which is integral for keeping players up to date on monsters that tend to attack from all sides.
No word yet if either the game or the attachment will make its way stateside.
Epic.
I’ve never played any of these games before, so I can’t really say much about it, but if makes more units sell in Japan, that’s awesome!
Finally! I’ve been waiting to hear about MH on 3DS!
if the second pad is small enough I MIGHT. get it… for metal gear….SNAAAAAKKE EAAATEEER
this game looks awesome don’t know why they call it 3G if does not feature 3G connectivity hmmmmm,
A bit of an odd labelling, but 3G does jsut mean third generation, it’s just stuck in our minds as phone tech because they pimped the third generation phone tech a lot
@nintendoboy4life
well monster hunter tri G is an expand version of monster hunter tri and with the previous game they did for monster hunter 2nd which turn to monster hunter 2nd G
I guess the title got nothing to do with 3G connectivity just a conicident
Anyway…. MONSTER HUNTER Tri G yeah awesome (big fan, pay since Monster Hunter Freedom on PSP)
@nintendoboy4life
You obviously dont play MH if you dont know what the G means.
“G” means – upgraded version.. more stuff, more monsters…etc..
wow I will so buy this did you know that it is said to come out in the us and europe confiremed http://nintendoeverything.com/20943/
aw… but that’s for Tri, any news on Portable 3rd G?
Does anyone play Monster hunter tri here?
Is this a remake of the wii version?
This is really good news, not just for gamers, but for Nintendo: the PSP was fairly popular in Japan, and the new one is being released there this year (though not in the US or Europe), so this game will be effective in combating that system.
Monster Hunter looks fun, but I’d very much rather play the game on a console than on a handheld with a bulky accessory that would cause the handheld to lose its portability. I hope they just implement controls using the current system; it worked on the PSP (wasn’t that good but it worked!) so it should work on the 3DS.
MUST COME STATESIDE……..NOW!!!! XD
Woah! I have played these games, but i’ve never owned one…..I guess I will now.
omg get world wide!!! i hope it has mhtri and mh portable 3rd!!!!
Never mind stateside, europe.
I’m sooo getting this if it comes out in Europe! XD
well how about it just goes everywhere then we can all enjoy it
mhtri came out worldwide so it must be comming to europe before e3 2012
this game uses right analog stick, right?
so 3G is in d 3DS ???? pls no way……
monster hunter portable 4th will probably come out on psp or something.
is it real monster hunter 3G coming to psp??
If got, tell me when it coming??
tell me too
ok g is basically how they say portable it doesnt mean it though
and so in saying g along the title it just means they didn remove it here and giving it freedom like they did for the psp games like mhf mhf2 and mhfu
