VengefulTorture: "Monster Hunter, the series responsible for the booming success of the PSP in Japan, has been a scarcity on Sony Consoles recently. What was once almost an exclusive series has now branched out to a variety of different consoles, all except the Vita. Seeing as the Vita doesn’t have an overwhelmingly impressive library, and it is in fact the successor to the PSP, one would think a new Monster Hunter title should have been announced by now for the impressive yet struggling handheld. It is well known and clear to almost everyone that one thing that could save the Vita from ending up like the PSP Go! is a Monster Hunter game; so it is with much relief that we finally have news of the series coming to the Vita."
Despite sharing countless titles and franchises, the Eastern and Western video game markets are markedly distinct. These ten Japanese video games never made it to the West, for various reasons.
Conversely there's also a lot of western games that will never be released in Japan
We are getting ZERO of these X games? Maybe?! No you're right it makes no sense
There were some good Japan exclusive Mega Man games, most notably another Mega Man & Bass for WonderSwan.

Explosion:" Monster Hunter Frontier G, the online entry of the Capcom series now available on consoles and PC in Japan, has received some new videos today."
This is what a lot of Vita owners have been asking for.
Hopefully this game will get the sales the vita was looking for.

But it's still a Monster Hunter game and from what I hear it's a good one. better to have it than to have nothing at all.
Unfortunately it won't do a whole lot considering it's a port of a game that first launched in 2007 and has been on the Xbox 360 since 2010 and Monster Hunter 4 just hit the 3DS.
The monster hunter name will sell it modestly.
That'll be great for Japanese sales, but I couldn't care less. Soul Sacrifice is so much better.
This will fail just like it did years ago in both Japan and NA. If it couldn't do well then, when monthly pay subs were much more popular and there weren't as many new Monster Hunter titles out, how will it do well now?
Wasted time and money even putting more content into this. It could have been time and money better spent elsewhere or possibly actually porting a better Monster Hunter than this one.
As much faith as I have in the Vita even I know this game isn't going to sell too many of them.
