I've never played a Monster Hunter game before. I was considering getting the Wii one when it comes out, but after I found out you have to spend Wii points to play online I lost interest.
I think there's a new one coming out on PSP though. So if that one doesn't have any monthly subscription fees I might get it.

The PSP games aren't online-enabled. All the console Monster Hunters have had fees, but when the first one was brought to the West the fees were dropped. Cross your fingers that the same thing happens if this is brought over.
Holy crap, these are so awesome looking. I can't believe they're charging for it, though, especially for something using the Wii's online. I really hope megaStryke is right about the fees being waved...
I doubt it will happen. Depends on how badly Capcom wants the franchise to expand in the West. The original game had free online and didn't sell enough for the sequel to see localization. Since then, a number of the PSP games have been localized. Would Capcom think the franchise has grown enough in Japan and has enough exposure in the West to feel okay with charging the fees?
The PSP games have this weird pseudo-online where you are required to have a PS3 in order to link up your PSPs. I don't think that quite counts.
Well I have a PS3, but that's still pretty stupid. PSP has online capabilities, so I don't know why they don't just add regular online to the Monster Hunter games.
What next? Monster Hunter MMO?
I'm not really a fan of the series, I mean, yea sure, killing monsters is fun. But that's it. There's no story at all. And level design is meh. All you do is kill monsters, in fact everything the game has to offer revolves around killing monsters. Doesn't that seem repetitive?

Dude, dawg, Holmes, meng. I was ready to pre-order back when this game was planned to be on the PS3.
God I love this series. I almost quit gaming until Monster Hunter came along to kick my ass and remind me why I started gaming in the first place. I can't wait for this, and hopefully it'll get a release outside of Japan thanks to the Wii's rather large install base. I can only pray. Really, really hard.
I'm still playing the first game on the PSP. I wouldn't be surprised now if if sold like hotcakes, since I realise how good the game is.
