View Full Version : Release a monster hunter on xbox 360!!!!!!!!!!! (and ps3 if u want)
this is simple enough, monster hunter is probably the best rpg I've ever played but I'm not willing to buy a wii just to play the 3rd game, also if u release a monster hunter on xbox 360 and ps3 it'll sell waaaaaayy more and the gameplay will be able to be enhanced. PLEASE MONSTER HUNTER ROCKS!!!
well the reason mh is on wii is due to popularity of the console, now that we are seeing a shift in that maybe any future games will be on a different colsole to match the current trend
I would prefer a 360 version for the live side of things but I am or will be content with the Wii version.
I don't see how the gameplay would be enhanced though.
i suppose he means if could be HD and all that jazz, monster hunter really doesnt need it though, i mean if it can be played on a psp then a wii is more than powerful enough for a great monster hunter game
Just buy a Wii when it comes out. Monster Hunter was nerver about the graphics. It's about slaying monsters with your friends and strangers.
I would like a PS3 version too, but not b/c the graphics, I really hope they will make one day a Monster Hunter X with features A, B, C for the PS3 and a Monster Hunter X for PSP with the features C, D, E. So you can hunt the monsters on both versions but both of them have their own features. But just my hopes.
For the Wii Version I would wish myself a Harvest Moon DS clone, where you play the cat from the farm etc. So you would have the original on the Wii and if you are out, a Monster Hunter Harvesting game where you can boost your main game.
It's not about graphics, it's about fun :P

Is this any more reasonable than saying I want Halo 3 or Left4Dead upon the Wii? If you are not willing to buy a Wii to play Monster Hunter then do not, but what reason do you really have to complain? The Wii is a console that is huge in Japan and the only reason Monster Hunter exists is because of the Japanese audience(the Western audience is pitiful by comparison,) so it would be a very foolish of Capcom to exclude them from their own audience.
I think saying "Monster Hunter should be on the PS3/360 because [insert invalidated reason here]" is altogether unfounded. the Monster Hunter gameplay and graphics have not been updated since the first Monster Hunter title, which was released five years ago. So such arguments really may not be drawn.
If you love Monster Hunter then buy a Wii - just as many of us have already done - if not: then you shall have to endure without. ;)

I wouldn't say they were invalidated reasons, they are only opinons which people are entitled to.
I am more than happy for the Wii version but would still prefer a 360 version as I prefer LIVE.

I'm not saying they should exclude anyone, I'm just saying they should expand to a wider audiance I mean I sure there are loads of people who would love to have a monster hunter on their console but only hardcore fans would be willing to buy a wii just for one game. Yes do REALLY like the game but spending around £200 for a wii+game is a little over the top and surely selling MH on more consoles would only make more money for capcom and gain more fans for MH

it certainly would expand to other players but also the Wii has lots of other great games you could play so it would also expand you gaming.
I agree with the TC.
Monster Hunter could really take off in the west if it gets a release on all of the home consoles.
I'm not a Monster Hunter player but I've read a bit about the game and I like the co-operative aspect of it. The premise of monster slaying with a bit more emphasis on social gaming appeals to me, but I don't have a PSP or a Wii unfortunately.
I'd vouch it would be a big success though. If it came out on the 360 tommorrow I would be down to my local Game store to buy it asap.

Heh, Capcom needs to establish an audience before attempting to widen it. Financially speaking, it would be a rash move to develop the game for all consoles and hope for the best. Remember that it originally began as a PS3 title before the spiraling development costs forced them to rethink their options; so if it was not financially sound from the outset of development - I can not see it being any more financially viable now.
The Western audience for Monster Hunter is all but non-existent and the 360 is a Western console. So I think Capcom is doing the sensible thing and offering the game to an audience who shall potentially appreciate it more - due to the sparse nature of "serious" titles upon the Wii - whereas on the 360, it would undoubtedly be lost amid the more popular and mainstream titles and fade into nothingness; in the same manner as MH1 did upon the PS2.
I don't see why they're having to worry too much fiancially when they have released huge games like dead rising, devil may cry, lost planet, Monster Hunter (ofc), resident evil and street fighter, surely if it's so big in japan then it's bound to do well in the rest of the world.
It's not like people's opinions in games are effected by which country they live in lol

Japan is a nich market and "many" japan games don't do well outside of japan the sales of monster hunter ps2 and psp is one of those titles that has faild to live up to the japanese sales. Yes thier will always be people interested.
Also Dead Rising, Devil May Cry, Lost planet, Resident Evil, Street Fighter apeal to western gamers more and have out sold Monster Hunter many times in Europe and USA.
I am not saying MH is not popular but it is not as popular in the west as those other titles you have named.
We are getting the new MH title on PSP and i am sure we will also get the Wii version but as in any market you start where the thing is most popular and sell the best, which is why japan is first, then move on to other places.
All you need to do is look at past sales of the games on both PSP and Ps2 and you would see why we are the last.

Opinions are not affected by which country they live in, not. Yet often regions have a particular taste or preferred genre which is revealed through market research within all of the regions, which assesses what consumers respond to. Which is why you have very slight differences as you move between each region them.
Packaging is a good example of this: Europe often has the same packaging as Japan which tends to reflect a more artistic approach, whereas American consumers seem to respond better to more literal interpretations of what the game offers visually - whether it be pre-rendered art or screen-captures. Final Fantasy and Resident Evil are good examples of this.
NTSC on the left, PAL on the right:

Also, it is interesting to note: A Monster Hunter demo was packed within the Devil May Cry 3 box for the PAL release, yet experienced nowhere near the amount of success(I think it failed to break 10-20k?)
Edit: Is there a reason the image-resizing shall not work?
I believe releasing a niche game internationally on the Wii and not making it a multi-platform release is quite a big mistake. While it will sell quite a few units in it's home territory of Japan it means that sales in the west will noticeably suffer.
While the Wii does shift quite a lot of units in hardware and software in the west you only have to look at the retail sales charts to see that the games that are making money are most often casual titles.
So really a succesful release is reliant on Monster Hunter fans who have played it on the PSP and also have a Wii to buy it.
So where is the Monster Hunter market?
Really I think there is a bigger market for Monster Hunter on the 360 and I'm not saying that just because I have one. Multiplayer is pretty much emphasised everywhere on XBL and niche titles have atleast some chance of exposure if they are marketed well.
If it established a fanbase and sold well it would be very easy to get a PS3 and Wii release sorted.

One has to bear in mind that the Wii development kit is not the same as a next-gen PS3 or 360 dev kit and a Western wii release shall certainly not suffer anymore than a PS3 or 360 western release would. There is no market for the game here, thus there is no real risk. Which is precisely what MH3 is trying to establish/assess. What platform it appears upon is utterly meaningless as online games are dependent upon the game and how it is developed, not the hardware it is using.

One could argue that a hardcore title is going to fare better in a "casual" market than it would in a "hardcore" market, due to the desire for hardcore titles from the main Nintendo audience. Monster Hunter 3 is not trying to appeal to an audience it already has, what would be the point in that? It wishes to garner publicity and support from Nintendo owners, which it has done well thus far.
The core Nintendo audience has been yearning for a great game that makes effort to sustain the community since launch, MH3 seems to fit the bill.

Any title has chance of exposure if it is marketed well, that is not exclusive to the 360 nor Monster Hunter 3; emphasized in what respect? Because it has online access - which both the PS3 and Wii have? Granted, the service is not as good as LIVE, but that would be because it is free.
If it established a fanbase and sold well it would be very easy to get a PS3 and Wii release sorted.
It already has a Wii release sorted. :p I find it strange that you think 360 is the only console that can establish MH3 and yet it is also the only(?) console you own. Monster Hunter really can be established anywhere, provided their is an audience for it - which the West may simply not have.
I am not against the idea of it appearing on the 360, I am merely against the idea of people writing it off before anything has happened. I suppose this just smells strongly of fanboy bias, rather than an objective opinion. It is currently only appearing upon the Wii - do with that what you will.
Monster Hunter's success is really 50/50 and in no way is it down to which console it shall be appearing on.
with MH being sold on the wii, it is going to sell well in japan but in the west it'll never develop a strong fanbase as, I'm not saying this applys to everyone who owns a wii but, the wii mainly sells towards people under the age of 9 and not many people under that age will be interested in this sort of game

Heh, a rather gross generalization.
::sigh:: I would be surprised were Nintendo ever able to shake the stigma .:confused:

Wii sells towards people under the age of 9? I am 34 and it's the most played console by me.
My children are 4 and 8 and they both prefer the 360:confused:
People who claim this are not looking at the Wii as a whole and only see the party games that are out for it.
Actually I also own a PS3.
I disagree that it doesn't matter which game platform pre-established games appear on makes no difference when establishing a fanbase.
A fps release will always sell more units on the 360 that on any other console, whereas an SRPG would sell more on the PS3 than any other console. Through looking at gamers' behaviours developers can see what type of game will sell well.
Also your comment on how a hardcore game would sell more on a casual console doesn't make sense to me. If people are playing Mario Kart and Wii Fit why would they be likely to buy Monster Hunter? even if they were into more hardcore gamer titles like Legend of Zelda what motivation would they have to buy Monster Hunter? they wouldn't, so it's essentially pitching a niche title to an even smaller audience.
Also I only said it would be an ideal release on the 360 because of the online service XBL is excellent. I would have said it would be more fitting to the PS3 but you already said something along the lines of development costs being too high.

I agree it would be a ideal release on the 360 and I do want it on the 360.
But for me at the end of the day I am content with a Wii version for now but idealy i would like to see it on both ps3 and 360.
The way I look at it Capcom don't have high expectations out of Japan so the Wii at them moment is the most cost effective way. SOme will agree some won't.
I just want to pbe able to play the game:D

Yes, yet Monster Hunter has no such install fan-base. Thus the console it appears upon makes no difference.

The old install-base for the latter day Gamecube was in the region of two million. The past two-three years of Wii have been dominated by Nintendo's own titles and very little in the way of third party support, which is why the Nintendo gaming community is craving such things. The recent release of MadWorld and the upcoming remake of Silent Hill (as well as Monster Hunter 3) has raised the spirits within the Nintendo community and generated a lot of interest from the Nintendo-based media.
Also I only said it would be an ideal release on the 360 because of the online service XBL is excellent. I would have said it would be more fitting to the PS3 but you already said something along the lines of development costs being too high.
The development costs for the 360 would be in a similar region. But Monster Hunter 3 moved to the Wii due to the fact the 360 is trailing in Japan.
Nevertheless, we may discuss this as much as we want - yet that shall not alter the fact that MH3 is currently only scheduled for a Wii release. If you do not wish to play MH3 then you need not buy a Wii. If you do, then you do. ;)

lol yeah, I wish it was out on 360, I want to try this game but it's not on any of the platforms I have.
Maybe with the upcoming advertising for Monster Hunter trying to boost it's popularity in the west we might see hints of a future multi-platform release.
Yes, yet Monster Hunter has no such install fan-base. Thus the console it appears upon makes no difference.
I don't think there's no fan base. We've already seen a lot of japanese niche titles have favourable releases on the PS3 one of them being Valkyria Chronicles.

The reason why the past years of Wii have been dominated by Nintendo is because Nintendo's games are popular with the market. That was the case with the Gamecube as well where everyone anticipates the next Metroid, Starfox or Legend of Zelda, with the Wii this is emphasised even more now less third party developers have no inclination to make hardcore games for a casual orientated console, though there are exceptions: No More Heroes and Mad World.
The development costs for the 360 would be in a similar region. But Monster Hunter 3 moved to the Wii due to the fact the 360 is trailing in Japan.
There wouldn't be hefty development costs unless the developers insisted on making the game one of the most polished on the system. There have already been PS2 developed titles released on the 360 so development costs aren't the highest.
Nevertheless, we may discuss this as much as we want - yet that shall not alter the fact that MH3 is currently only scheduled for a Wii release. If you do not wish to play MH3 then you need not buy a Wii. If you do, then you do. ;)
I am interested in the game and no doubt other 360 and PS3 gamers want a piece of the action as well, but does it justify me buying a console for one game that I've only heard about? Not really.

well i did say that it didn't apply to everyone but the majority of people who play wii are under the age of 9
Well anyways I guess I'll just have to hope that MH3 does well with western wii owners as I can't really get capcom to slap MH3 onto the 360 any time soon and just hope that capcom advances onto the western 360 and PS3 owners.
P.S - TBH i'm pritty stunned with the amount of popularity this thread that I made has got I thought it would get like two replys and just fade away lol ty for everyone that replied :D

Is this the only Wii-only title to have piqued your interest? I wanted to play Viva Pinata eons ago but it was the only game upon the 360 that I was even remotely interested in, so I decided to live without it and did not buy a 360.
One could argue that Wii owners want a piece of the Left4Dead or RE5 action, yet that does not grant the argument any more weight. The 360 has the largest games catalogue at the moment, so it seems somewhat unjust to try and suggest that the Wii is less capable of garnering an audience for Monster Hunter. As I mentioned earlier: it is the game itself rather than the console.
If MH3 is the only game you want on the Wii then you have the same decision as I had with Viva Pinata. Do not buy the console and let things lie or buy it and play the game. As was mentioned earlier: the Wii is rather cheap by comparison and still offers great gaming experiences.
Wait... do you mean to say you have not played any of the previous Monster Hunter titles? :p If it is a game you have only heard about: why not pick up one of the earlier titles(on the PS2 or PSP) to see whether or not the game itself even interests you. Heh, you may have made a lot of fuss over something you may not even like.
i think there's a bit of a misunderstanding in one of the points.
Its not that japanese games dont have success, or that a certain type of game famous in japan doesnt have success here.
The real problem as has been stated is, monster hunter does not share the japanese hype here in the west.
Companies avoid taking risks. As such the release on the wii, is a way for them to make a realist acessment, and some profit at it.
If sales go well, there might be a larger investment.
This goes for most companies' departments. Usually they have a fixed budget, if things go well, the budget is increased.
The costs to get a game working correctly on another console has to at least be covered for, and there must still be a margin of profit, otherwise it is still wasted money.
I would actually love to see it come out for the ps3, as it didn't i just got a wii, it's already been a good purchase for the games i've played this far so all's well.
Maybe things will go well and in the next release they'll thing of us more.
I disagree about the wii being for 9- y/o, the wii is a console that supports familly gaming, and quite some classics people have come to love. I probably care more about the kind of games wii's packing now, than i would have when i was that age XD
Having worked in a game shop and from my extensive use of the internet I think it is a misconception that the Wii is played by more by under 9's.
i worked in a game shop I always asked what age range the console was for so I could recomend games for the age range . Most of the time it was for teenages and adults.
Same with forums i visit and websites i read most wii players are well above 9 as the comments I see is that the last thing kids want is a console that is labled as a kids console as it is uncool.
The younger people want a ps3 or 360 due to it being more cool.
So from what i have seen and read it certainly is a misconception that the Wii is owned or played by young people as it seems it the older people who apreciate the console more and Nintendo home grown games.
Yes many of the games are aimed at kids but they are still fun to play for older people especialy those who are only just getting into gaming.
But i can imagine MH on the 360 with the advertising power of microsoft.
Ps3 and 360 monster hunter would be ideal, as in Japan the it would be picked up on the ps3 in the USA more on the 360 and europe about a 50/50 split on either machine.
But not taking anything away from the Wii as I am still looking forward to it.
i think combined sale of a ps3 and 360 version would do better than a wii version but then production cost's go up and would it hit the sales needed to make a next games on those systems?
I'd love to see Capcom release Monster Hunter on the 360, that's the console I went with this generation and MH is one of the titles I miss.
I don't know how much clout Capcom have politically but if they could bang some heads together and release it as a cross platform download-only game across Marketplace/PSN/WiiWare, which I think would be a first, that would remove the headache of trying to work out how many of each format to publish replete with discs, manuals, cases etc.
I think the politics would be the sticking point, technically I'd be happy with the graphics being limited to what the Wii can produce because the gameplay would make up for it.
Seeing as there's a big push for digital distribution from most quarters these days I'm sure it's something that Capcom could consider for next gen if they can't do it this gen.
A business model of paying for episodic content (expansions) as it becomes available rather than pay to play or microtransactions would seem perfect.
It would be a big project but I'm sure it's something Capcom would be capable of.
I still think it's mainly for kids just from the games that it usually has.
Also most (not all!) people over 9 who own a wii are usually extremely casual gamers and most hardcore gamers that I know have already realised this and own a PS3 or 360, yes some hardcore gamers bought the wii but to every 10 hardcore gamers on the wii there about 100 hardcore gamers on PS3/360 (only talking about the west here)

I would love to know where you get these stats from.
But then again you only say "I Think".
So would you call yourself a hardcore gamer then?
I know many hard core gamers who own and play the Wii and you only have to look arround the net to see more hardcore gamers who own and play a Wii.
I don't class myself as either hardcore or a casual gamer, I class my self as a True gamer who does not over look any gaming platform and enjoys to game.

I'm not getting the stats from anywhere if you just look at the adverts for wii games there all reaaaaalllly casual, and you may hear about some extreme hardcore gamers on 360 or PS3, like die hard gamers sorta stuff, but who often do you hear about that for wii? Have you ever heard about a huge super monkey ball 1000 people strong tournament like people do with tekken and final fantasy? not really.
And I dunno if I'm a hardcore gamer I mean I've played a game non-stop for waaaayyyy to long but that will only happen if I play an awesome and long game like Assassin's Creed or Godfather 2, anyways I'm a hardcore nothing atm because my 360 just broke and I've got like no new games for my pc and I'll be DAMNED if I play WoW.

So you have not heard the Mario Kart and Super Smash brothers tourniments and meet ups? They are quite big when held and you will find they are more mature gamers that attend those as well. I have been to couple in the past but I am not able to attend may things nower days with other comiments but I do have freinds that do attend theses things.
Gah I hate Super monkey ball :P
Assasins Creed and the God Father II arn't realy that long realy but thats not what a hardcore gamer is anyway.
For long games try Oblivian, and Fallout 3 and do every side quset as well your talking 90+ hours easy ;)

Yeah there are some tournament but honestly in comparison compared to some 360 and PS3 titles it's nothing really?
And AC is pritty long if you play the side quest to but meh and I played Fallout 3, I'm near the end but I keep getting overwhelmd by how far always have to walk and I have an INCREDIBLY SHORT attention spane so it takes something speacial to keep me playing.
I have to disagree with you as many many many mature gamers own and plays the Wii with what I have seen and read. Adverts are adverts they often are a misconceoption in them selves.
Please also do not use bad languge we are a public forum.
erm... smash bros. tournaments are massive but anyway i do agree some what but i would change the wording, i would say there are not that many serious games on the wii, most of em tend to be wacky or immature, doesnt mean that only wacky and immature people play them though, it can mean quite the oppostie i mean how many snoty nosed american whelps do you know that own a mic and play cod4?? Id say at least 99% of the mic users are american 14 year olds
the prices for game development are just to high thats why capcom is making it for the Wii isnted. I own a ps3 and the main reason why I got it was because of Monster Hunter 3 but now I´ll have to buy a Wii
As i've said, Capcom's intentions right now are probably to scout the west, see if monster hunter sells enough for them to risk developing for these consoles.
While im not in the industry and i can vouch for it, i'm quite sure that the ones to develop for different platforms are not microsoft, nor sony, nor nintendo, but the companies making the game.
Just keep following the MH series and sooner or later it'll be in the 3gen consoles.
About the offtopic matter. You can be an hardcore gammer at wii, depends on the kinds of games you play, since the wii has managed to get an awesoem diversity.
I used to be an hardcore gamer (time doesn't allow anymore, UNIVERSITY GIVE ME BACK MY LIFE!!! T_T , at least i can save the time for an event when capcom decides to make one here XD )
Nontheless, as an hardcore gamer, as well as a casual one, i found the wii to be atractive. It's a console that focuses more on variety and innovation than graphics.

i would prefer for it to be released on xbox and ps3 because even though they all share the
same graffix cards, the games on wii always look so basic in comparison.

I say this as someone who doesn't own a Wii..
Seriously, the graphics on MH3 for Wii are AMAZING. They're great! No-one plays MH for the graphics anyway - but they really are going all out on this one. It looks sweet.

Rage did not say you did not own a Wii. :p They were merely alluding to the fact that the game looks fantastic for a Wii game(as many Wii owners have commented upon) and that Capcom have obviously taken their time to develop the look of the game; Capcom mentioned relatively recently that they were still continuing to tweak and refine the graphics. Nevertheless, it is still the best looking Monster Hunter to date, which is not something to be scoffed at.
What could have been and what would have been upon the PS3 are likely areas many Monster Hunter players are over-exaggerating. As has been stated: Monster Hunter has always been pretty poor graphically, even for a PS2 game; Monster Hunter was released in 2004-2005, remember. A time when, visually speaking, many games were pushing the limits of the PS2: MGS3, Onimusha 3, Jak 3, Ratchet and Clank 3, God Of War, Gran Turismo 4 etc.
Monster Hunter: Dos was barely an improvement graphically and looked almost completely identical to its predecessor.

no worries, prbs jst overreacted myself anyway, jst REALLY love mh!
damn it never got to 50 replys lol
No thank you. Lol. Not saying that it wouldnt be good, but personally, I think, since its moved from Sony, MH should stay with Nintendo for the time being. Plus, before I say anymore, i personally think PS3 and 360 are great consoles, though from my brief playing experience I prefer PS3.
My main reason for saying no, 360 and PS3 owners have the majority of exclusive games. Now that the wii is getting one that other people want, and it should remain exclusive. 2009 looks like a good year for the Wii's hardcore gamers (if they still own their wii) with The Conduit and hopefully Monster Hunter 3, I personally cant wait. :D
Yeah, dont mean to offend anyone, its only my opinion on it, and well its only a game, should really offend anyone.

I just thought I would mention: nowhere in Monster Hunter 3's development contract has it declared its exclusivity with Nintendo. It is currently only being designed and developed for the Wii - yet it is by no means exclusive as no deal has been signed between Capcom and Nintendo. ;)
So should they wish to redevelop it for the PS3 or 360: they are quite capable of doing so.

absalutly correct, The only people keeping it to the Wii is Capcom, that could change any time.
a future Monster Hunter title wil be a PS3 exclusive its already been confirmd.

Have you got a link to this please.

this statement is old already of coures there wil be a PS3 version of Monster hunter in the future since the high demand for it
i read it a while ago so i cant find it but it was someting of taking advantage of the PSP connectivity and making use of the sixaxis features.
but here a quick other link about a ps3 version.
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3164091
BTw i also just found some new info but il make a tread about it.
I agree their will be a MH on ps3 in the future but the ps3 is only 2 years into is estimated 10 year life span so we could have a long wait.
That link does not confirm anything on a ps3 release though just that it remains a option.
Please don't use the SIXAXIS if it does come i hate that feature.

Just buy a Wii when it comes out. Monster Hunter was nerver about the graphics. It's about slaying monsters with your friends and strangers.
I would like a PS3 version too, but not b/c the graphics, I really hope they will make one day a Monster Hunter X with features A, B, C for the PS3 and a Monster Hunter X for PSP with the features C, D, E. So you can hunt the monsters on both versions but both of them have their own features. But just my hopes.
For the Wii Version I would wish myself a Harvest Moon DS clone, where you play the cat from the farm etc. So you would have the original on the Wii and if you are out, a Monster Hunter Harvesting game where you can boost your main game.
It's not about graphics, it's about fun :P
I agree 100% its not about the graphics but i would like it for the xbox and ps3 for Live/network abilities and maybe a little boost in gameplay. 1 more thing is I had a Wii then sold it cause i was bored of it and nearly died when i heard a Monster hunter was coming out.
Please use the following topic instead resurrecting old topics.
