andriasang: Monster Hunter 3 sold around a million copies. A huge success for Capcom and Wii? Maybe, maybe not.
What's the best Monster Hunter of all time? In a series where half of the titles have the word 'Ultimate' fixed on the end, it can be a difficult decision to make. NL are not averse to difficult decisions though, so have taken it upon theirselves to rank every single Monster Hunter game (yes, even the non-Nintendo ones) to determine which is the very best.
First world problems all up in here, but that makes this gaming dilemma no less stressing.
The third generation of Monster Hunter drags the series back to western shores because well, why not? In fact you could say that three really has been the magic number. Unless you live in Japan in which case one and two were also pretty fantastic and if anything three has been nothing short of a crushing disappointment.
‘But wait!’ Voletic hears you scream, ‘Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has been recently announced, why are you addressing the third iteration?’ Because background knowledge is a beautiful thing and Voletic has a word count to fill.
My problem with MH is the slow paced and plain combat system, if they make it more dynamic count me in.
They need a full console release, launch the CryEngine one for PC for PS4/XO. And make sure to bring it stateside.
Should have released it on the PS2 or PS3, where the core audience for these games have been all along.
Still, a million copies of any game is pretty good regardless of the circumstances!
dragon quest 9 sold 3.8 M in JAPAN only ..and it's not enough for him ??
oh wait he wanted 5M .. i guess some people just want more and more ..
at least he admit that the game is still selling so it's not a fixed number for now
Hmm, well in a way aren't the console versions the ones that sell the least?
first off this is the first and only monster hunter to sell a million unit's on a console!none of the monster hunters on ps2 reached near a million in just japan.and worldwide none of the ps2 versions sold a million look it up.cause now everyone seen a story badmouthing a core wii game that sold a million in japan alone and they jump and say it would of sold better on ps2/ps3 well the games on ps2 didn't do wii's number's and 3rd party games barely reach a million in sales on just the ps3 in just japan and again look it up.and they wanted 2 million sales worldwide and the game get's released in america,and europe this year.so getting a million sales on wii with a core game in just japan is really good. it's amazing how people leave just enough info out of the story to make wii looke bad!it's shows how bias everyone is to the wii a core game thats 3rd party does great in one market and somehow it's not enough wow just wow gaming is becoming a crybaby fest were you make stuff up and leave stuff out so you can cry about a console because it's selling the most.instead of just enjoying your own console it's sad.
