"Monster Hunter 4 was recently delayed in Japan. Originally to be released in March, it has since been pushed back to the summer of this year.
Now Japanese sources point towards a simultaneous release of the game for both the 3DS and the PlayStation Vita as being the cause of the delay."
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.
Monster Hunter X sold 1,542,104 units within its first two days of sale in Japan, according to a Famitsu report. The number includes retail copies, download cards, and the Monster Hunter X Special Pack. (It does not, however, include sales of the download version through the eShop.)
Additionally, 3DS hardware (including 3DS LL, New 3DS, and New 3DS LL) moved a total 133,628 units, compared to the previous week’s 33,203 units.
Here’s Monster Hunter X‘s launch numbers compared to previous big 3DS titles:
(Note: These are all according to Famitsu sales numbers.)
Pokemon X and Y – 2,096,050
Monster Hunter 4 – 1,875,115
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate – 1,617,949
Monster Hunter X – 1,542,104
When Monster Hunter gets made for a non-Nintendo console I'll be more interested. I'd be much happier with a PS4/Xbone version with fully integrated online play.
Isn't Monster Hunter 4 a Nintendo exclusive? Do you know what the magazine article translated into English means?
Though I have a hard time believing that. Awesome if true (both 3DS and Vita owners get to play the game).
Would be great to have this game on PS VITA since Monster Hunter was the reason i have bought PSP (playing at university during boring lectures).
I'm being moderately optimistic, but I have thought that MH4 is a exclusive for 3DS.
If, by any chance it comes out on VITA, it would be cool for it to look similiar to soul sacrifice and not to be a direct port from 3DS with slightly better graphics.
I doubt this very much.....if anything it will show up on Wii-U eventually.
Anybody here read Japanese?
