I got a feeling this is very true.I mean now with the 3DS's improved online and Tag mode it seems more possible.
I dunno you'd think sony would bust their ass to secure it monster hunter is to psp like pokemon is to da in japan.

Do some research. DS already has wi-fi online multiplayer and so does the 3DS. Resident Evil: The Mercenaries has it and even a shit title like Asphalt 3D is gonna have it. They're pushing online with 3DS and if this is true you won't need to go through some ad-hoc bullshit to get online (though if they carry over friend codes its just as bad if not worse).
If 3DS can secure a Monster Hunter title I don't see a single reason to get PSP2 for a very long time. DO IT CAPCOM!

Or you know they can always just do a multiplatform PSP2/3DS Monster Hunter. But hey who the hell am I to suggest any million dollar making idea.
Oh, I'm sure that we'll get more Monster Hunter on the PSP2, unless Nintendo pays of Capcom big time.
Still, losing Monster Hunter exclusivity would definitely hurt the PSP brand in Japan.

You would have thought Sony would try hard to keep Tri PS3 exclusive but they didn't, so you never know. 8-4 had a good theory though and it simply that the assets would be easier to transfer from Tri to P3rd. Makes sense.
Unfortunately, I don't see 3DS changing a thing for Monster Hunter's absolutely wretched control scheme. being able to play Tri with a Classic controller helped a bit.
All I want is to lock on and strafe, it seems the competition does this. I don't get why MH fans put up with such a decrepit control scheme.
I mean, sure, good for Nintendo when they get it, but I'd like better controls for Monster Hutnter (and a load of other fixes) before I'd consider playing the series again. Til then, I'll wait to see how God Eater Burst works out. Lord of Arcana has a few better ideas, it just sadly lacks the online multiplayer part.
So until then, Phantasy Star Portable 2 for me.

I think he meant online multiplayer for the game itself. The portable iterations of DH only had local play.

I want to be surprised, but I'm not. Capcom is one of the few developers that still puts up an effort when it comes to Nintendo support, so getting something like Monster Hunter is kind of inevitable.
hooray, now I might actually play a monster hunter game
The 3DS is becoming one gaming's biggest juggernauts and it hasn't even been released yet.
The 3DS sounds so great is almost feels like a dream

Don't be an ass. Online multiplayer in one game doesn't guarantee online multiplayer in all games.

Aaaah. I see. Fuck I feel like a dick now.
@The Silent Protagonist
I've only ever played MH with CC and I thought it was fine. It was other little things like animations and item management that could be fixed imo. I played MH a little on PSP but couldn't get into it until Tri so I'm willing to give it another shot doesn't matter if PSP or 3DS. (I'd play it on PSP but I got it stolen. TWICE!)

Ha! Well now I don't. Its not 1 its 2. And the significance is that one is a quality title (hopefully) by Capcom and another is likely a shitty game that would be stripped of Online on Wii and DS but they the fact that they even bothered to include online is a a big deal. At least I think so.

@the silent protagonist - while I'll certainly admit that the control of the game is hardly perfect, lock-on + strafe would render it pointless easy and reduce much of the interest of the game. You should need to aim your blows, and thus you have to.
Perhaps instead of that, theres a sort of compromise - a little bit of 'auto-aim', sort of like what Batman AA has, except much less extreme (I dislike the extent to which that game does it - I feel detached and more like I'm watching than playing). Your attacks would home in on the area you're aiming at, and could also look more specialized to where you're attacking rather than just generic swings. While reducing the skill ceiling a little, it retains the most important parts of the game, that I feel would be lost with the ability to lock-on; correctly positioning yourself to both attack and defend/dodge against what you're fighting, and aiming at the best parts of the monster to attack.
But even just changing the animations to make them a bit quicker and cleaner, and much faster to recover from would make a huge difference. I think the core gameplay is fundamentally pretty good, just needs a fair bit of tweaking. The engine could do with updating too, but hey, thats why they're sticking to the handhelds, as far as I can tell (and now its been so successful...).

I don't know why everyones so surprised. The lack of Monster Hunter on DS is simply down to obvious technical issues I imagine, and again even if confirmed this by no means it's 3DS exclusive.
Nintendo have never tripped over others to get to exclusives, look what happened with Rare. They simply dont possess aggressive "buy all the exclusive shit we can" attitude, ala Microsoft, which certainly improves their stance in terms of like-ability.

By that logic, Nintendo should have included online multiplayer with New Super Mario Bros Wii because Super Smash Bros Brawl and Endless Ocean had online multiplayer as well. They're all Nintendo developed games, New Super Mario Bros Wii is their flagship game and its not like 2D gameplay is hard to netcode for.

If this will weaken Sony in the near future, you can expect Nintendo will have athe next Monster Hunter on the 3DS or die trying.
Good god, if Nintendo had Monster Hunter AND Pokemon AND Dragon Quest, I honestly don't think there's anything Sony could do to win.
That said, I certainly wouldn't mind a 3DS Monster Hunter. Considering Tri was my first and only experience with the franchise though, I'm not sure how ready I am for the infamously bad handheld control scheme.

what's up with your sony hate lately? sony this sony that, really? do you really hate that company so much?
if this was true(which is likely since 3DS can now handle Monster Hunter) i wouldn't be surprised if the big 3 stays on the top(Pokemon, Dragon Quest, and Monster Hunter) and other games like Love Plus's downwards. certainly Monster Hunter is not exclusive to sony(Frontier and Tri) it might dealt damage to Sony's PSP but it will remain the same. PSP2 has a Monster Hunter game, DS has a Monster Hunter game. now everyone is happy.

I'm with KingSigy. How is this a surprise to anyone? Why wouldn't Capcom put a Monster Hunter game on the 3DS? And another one on the PSP2 after that? Though if it's feasible to do a multi-platform now, that would be even better. These reactions are kind of puzzling.
@pokota
Costs, the same reason why they developed Tri in the Wii instead of the PS3 as it was announced. Developer time for multi-platform costs, a lot. And you cannot spect that Capcom will deliver for both consoles at competitive dates because of rights exclusivity and profit.

I haven't played an MH game since the original. Do they still have it so that you need to constantly farm ingredients before you can even attempt to hunt more dangerous monsters? Because that was what turned me off to the original.
This would be the ICING ON THE CAKE. I LOVE MONSTER HUNTER. I plan to get a 3DS for various other titles... BUT THIS TOO? IT WOULD BE INCREDIBLE. Just take my money, Nintendo/Capcom
You should turn the camera with the shoulder buttons, and switch around the items with the touch screen. Dashing would be with holding both shoulder buttons down. Everything else would be like normal. I can't imagine turning the camera with the d-pad. I want online play. No voice chat; that would take away precious FPS. We'll deal with a pop-up keyboard. And no lock on. The game itself is based on targeting specific parts. It's also apart of the skill.
