Monster Hunter 3G for 3DS ships 1 million

@wiidsduelpack Nintendo only published it in Europe though. Capcom published it in North America.

Maybe, just maybe the 3D effect helps improve the sales.

@servb0ts I agree so I can record it with my capture card. :D

How come Japan always get the best games.. I sure hope this gets localized

I want this game so bad, localize it please

cool now that its a hit and sold 1mil you can send it to the usa now.

Every news of Monster Hunter only fills me with great envy nowadays...

I'm still waiting for MHP 3rd, and the translators can't work fast enough on it at all. Really hoping this game makes it stateside along with MH4, as frustrating and rage inducing as this series is for me, I still love it nonetheless.

gee monster hunter and handhelds popular in Japan...never saw that coming... :roll:

@fabz_95 Which is why recent Capcom games don't have much quality in it since Capcom knows they will be able to sell.

This needs online play

I have a feeling Nintendo will have to publish the game to see it in the West. They did it with MH3. I don't think Capcom would publish it

I wish 3DS had HD TV device like psp 3000, as a matter of Fact I think every handle should have a mandatory requirement to play hand helds on their tv screen. Sometimes being versatile is a good thing.

@dxdevilex0 : If Capcom and Nintendo have a close enough relationship for Capcom to help influence Nintendo to release an entire peripheral Nintendo has a good chance of convincing Capcom to release NA.

@moviequest14 Xenoblade was made by both Nintendo and Monolith.

I will get the 3DS only to play this... i imported MHP3rd and loved it

@WllDan7 : Nintendo didn't make Xenoblade either but that didn't stop it from being held back from U.S audience....

@moviequest14 You know capcom makes this not nintendo.

Any news on a UK release date?

@Thirdrail1 That sounds awesome.I remember playing DKCR with my dad and we spent over 100 hours trying to beat it and collect everything.I love a game that has so much content.These days,devs like to shove FPS games with 6-10 hour campaigns at us and charge us 60 bucks.No thanks amigo.When I blow 60 bucks on what is basically a toy,I wanna blow huge portions of my life along with it!:P

3DS is doing quit well now.Quite well indeed. But,this game isn't in the States,so.....step it up Capcom. You've all but killed MegaMan,and that infuriates me,to the point where I couldn't care less about you.But I've never played Monster Hunter,and would kike to give it a try on my 3DS.It may mellow my attitude towards you.But what really would make us friends again,is a MegaMan game brought all the way from start to finish. The path to redemption is open,Capcom.I'm waiting.

Looks pretty sweetness. If I had a 3DS I'd get it. :)

Meh... Ill wait til the west gets MH again to give a crap...

As long as MH4 gets released here thats all I care about

I think this will be released only in Japan,we already got MH3 for Wii,right? And it's possible that MH4 will be exclusive to 3DS and might be released worldwide too.

I've got it and it's fantastic.

American gamers like Stonecutters908 need to understand that Monster Hunter games operate on a completely different scale than we're used to. 100 hours of a single player game in the US is a pretty epic play through. But MH isn't an American game. We're the people who thought a 30 foot monkey was a "giant monster". The Japanese weren't satisfied with a MOTH until it was 100 stories tall and fighting the entire army. Scale.

100 hours of Monster Hunter is the tutorial. There are literally casual gamers in Japan with 5000 hours on their MH save files. I'm not talking about hardcore people. I'm talking about people who migrated to Monster Hunter from games like Angry Birds.

So, yeah, 4 hours is nothing. You might as well have not played it all. The difference, from the standpoint of a real monster hunter, is indistinguishable. I'm sure my 65 year old mother knows more about MH from sheer osmosis than you picked up in 4 hours. No offense. It's just true.

You have to commit to Monster Hunter, and then you see the magic. 700 hours into Unite I'm still only about 85% of the way through the game's content. Find another game you can play obsessively for 700 hours and still have completely new things left to do and see, and then think about your concepts of pacing.

looks pretty cool actually. My biggest problem with Monster Hunter on Wii was the awful inventory menus which nearly killed the game from the start. The other big problem was the pacing. When you play a game called Monster Hunter for 4 hours and haven't fought a big boss style Monster yet, there is a serious pacing problem.

I hope this comes to the US.

@moviequest14 Stores don't "buy" their games from the publisher. The store sells the stock, but they don't own it and neither did they pay for it. When the game is sold, the publisher gets the money and the store get a share of it, too.

Wow! This is like Dragon Quest when it goes on sale in Japan. Now the 3DS has Mario, Pokemon, Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter that sells their systems in Japan.

@ekalbtwin : Already Capcom can consider it a major success...keep in mind that..though a million copies haven't left the stores yet..capcom has sold a million copies because the stores have already purchased them.

I hope it sells millions over in Japan so it will get a release here in the US.

Still hoping to see a N.A release...learn from your mistakes with xenoblade NoA!!!

bring it over NAOW!

Why do they always do this? Oh, Japan is having so much fun with this game, but the United States isn't getting it! You guys are so mean.

i wanna see alatreon in 3D!!

I'm praying they release this in the states...

wow, this looks crazy! and we aren't getting it in the US just yet? hmm...for some reason it reminds me of the Monster levels in Peacewalker...for no reason :)

IMO this game has saved the 3DS's fortunes in one fell swoop.
