Monster Hunter's like Pokemon. I follow it wherever it goes. Also, this game is only releasing on the Vita in the US (and maybe Europe). Not in Japan.

They have most of the same monsters though. Not the same game but if you skip P3 for 3G you will experience a lot of the same content.

Why buy the Vita version when you can buy the infinitely superior Wii version?

Edit: Never mind, I just had a horrible brain fart.

The PSP version is releasing in the US as a Vita game. Basically since we never got the PSP game, we're getting it on the Vita instead. The reason it's not releasing on the Vita in Japan is because it's already available to play on the Vita in Japan if you own a PSP copy of the game.

It probably will come out in Japan as well. But if not MHP3 already sold multi millions, probably no reason to release it again since its redundant.

Yep, but since playing a PSP game on the Vita enhances the PSP game (with dual analog support and higher textures), you're getting an enhanced port basically. It's like playing SM64DS on the 3DS. Like you can use the analog stick to control Mario if you play that on a 3DS.

Tri G is actually better than Tri.

As in, the 3DS game is actually superior to the Wii game.

It's the same exact game with much more content and better controls (even without the 2nd analogue stick).

The point was getting the game to the US somehow. Capcom didn't want to bring the PSP version, Sony wouldn't allow Capcom to bring the PS3 version, so this seems to be a nice compromise.

Its monster hunter, the quests won't be "that" different :P

But hey, go for it if you think it'll be worth it.

More content than the Wii game so in all likelihood it is. I wish they would bring it over to the Wii. I don't really want to play it on the 3DS without online.

But there is a good possibility it won't have online functionality. After playing Monster Hunter online I can never go back. I've heard that it may include online, but as I said, I'll believe it when I see it.

It probably will have it but in its current state I would still rather it on the Wii. I could just import my vanilla Tri save and not start from scratch after all.

I played fine with the Wiimote and Nunchuk, but the 3DS by itself will be better than that. I wouldn't know how well the control set up with the CC Pro is.

Well, if nothing else this more or less confirms that Nintendo doesn't actually have exclusive rights to the MH series, if that was ever in question to begin with.

Not really. I explained this earlier in this thread. This is the PSP game that was never released in the US. Capcom did not want to release it in the US on the PSP, and Sony wouldn't let Capcom release the PS3 version in the west unless they also released the PSP game. So this appears to have been a nice compromise for the two. But this is just a straight up port of the PSP game. It's not a new game.
