Chris Buffa (Modojo): Sony's PlayStation Vita debuts in Japan December 17, and while the initial launch games look decent, the fact that the system will release without a Monster Hunter (or one in the foreseeable future) casts some doubt on the handheld's future.
Monster Hunter World is close to releasing, which means it’s no better time to reminisce and look back at some of the best Monster Hunter games that came before it.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has been discounted to $16.33 on 3DS and $19.79 on Wii U. Also on sale are Monster Hunter 4 ($28.99) as well as the upcoming Monster Hunter Generations ($31.99 for Amazon Prime members).
Check out a gallery of images for the epic-looking figure, designed by Final Fantasy's Tetsuya Nomura.
Christopher...just stop this now. We all know you love the 3DS and that is fantastic. But do you really need to write one of these articles every single day? Just go play Ocarina of time or something. Seriously, you're getting a little out of hand with this.
The website appears to post articles criticizing and praising both systems, so I'm not sure what you're getting at. Perhaps HBK has had too many pile drivers from the Undertaker, eh?
So, what happens when the Vita eventually does get a MH? Just like every other gaming platform currently out except for the iPad - and I'm probably wrong about that.
Well this will be a test for Sony. Will the Vita's other functions and games out way this game. Since seeing remote play working well I just do not know (basically it seems like Wii U type functionality but sooner). Monster hunter basically carried the PSP in Asia. Its a loss but will the impact be great on sales. We just do not know.
Vita is an amazing piece of hardware with quality games being developed for it.Final Fantasy X is being remade for the Vita, and there's ton of Sony exclusives.
Sure, MH is a good franchise and all, but I don't see it being detrimental to the Vita's sales, at all.
