Capcom: Don't Expect Monster Hunter Vita, You Will Disappoint Yourself

Monster Hunter only sales big in Japan and that hasn't been Sonys biggest region since in years. Sony needs to focus on Europe and America. The need to make sure games like Bioshock for Vita get made. MH while it would be nice isn't going to do much for the Vita on a worldwide scale.FlamesOfGrey

I doubt a new IP will sell many systems in Japan.

Too bad for PSV owners, thought for sure Monster Hunter would come to the PSV. Guess this means PSV is offically dead.

Unless if you have a 3DS.

Ill take Soul Sacrafice over Monster Hunter Vita any day. Im sorry I use to Love capcom but they have really droped the ball lately. On disk DLC, ruining both RE and DMC and now this. I guess I should be to worried though since all there top talent keeps leaving them.

[QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"] Nintendo not only has casual appeal on their side, they also have the nostalgia factor with franchises like Mario, Pokemon and Zelda. People will buy those franchises regardless of quality. Add that in with their marketing and Nintendo always knows they have something that will sell regardless.ShuichiChamp24

Except there Hardware wich is about 5 years behind everyone else.

lol who cares when they got the Superior Marvel vs Capcom.

Most? I don't think so. Maybe about half unless you want to dismiss all the spin-offs which count towards franchises as well.FlamesOfGrey

[QUOTE="Hoznary"][QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"] People are just going to have to face it. The Vita will not get going until maybe 2014-2015 like the PSP and PS3. It took a good 2-3 years before their install bases got high enough for developers to feel confident enough to do system exclusives on them. Sony just haven't learned anything from those two systems which is a shame.FlamesOfGrey

Spot on post once again.

Recently, a rumor surfaced saying this very thing was the reason for the 3DS delay and that Capcom was developing a Vita version in tandem with the 3DS. 'I would not believe everything you read on the internet. It will set you up for disappointment or misdirected frustration.'rjdofu

I also agree with the sentiment that the Vita needs a system seller. It needs one, and fast.

With Mario(Obviously), Pokemon(Obviously), Animal Crossing(Obviously), Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter locked up, Final Fantasy is the only system seller left. If Nintendo announces a mainline spin off FF game like Crisis Core or Type 0, there really isn't anything left that could save the Vita.

The best thing Sony could hope for is if one of thier new IP's become a smash hit.

If they could figure out a way to market the Vita to western gamers in Europe and NA, and create games that appeal to gamers in those regions, Sony may have a shot of surviving even if they lose Japan. Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest, and Animal Crossing are not major system sellers in the west, and their impact is minor at best here. Which means Sony might have a better shot of winning the west since most of the major system sellers that are appearing on the 3DS really don't have much of an impact outside of Japan.

The key is for Sony to get major western developers to take the Vita seriously. Call of Duty on a handheld is an excellent idea on paper that fell apart due to Activision blowing the job. What the Vita needs are strong titles that make it look good compared to the 3DS. They ned games that are more than rushed ports of home console games.

If Sony can't win Japan or even get a decent showing in second, than the handheld is not quite dead. The 3DS is still not fully established in the West and while it is a decent seller, its not matching the sales in Japan. And many of the system sellers in Japan like Monster Hunter, and Dragon Quest are irrevlant in the West. They sell decently, but they are far from being system sellers over here.

Of course, the shadow of Mario and Pokemon will still be a challenge for Sony, so it's still an uphill battle. But if they could get something established in the West, they may still have a chance even if the Vita fails in Japan. The issue is getting the support that they need.

This is terrible news and I'm honestly disappointed we wont see any MH game anytime soon on PSV..

I mean this with no intention to bash the 3DS but would have loved to see what MH would look like on the PSV which surely can produce better visuals.. Also with 2 x analog sticks & touch controls would have been great for this game..
