The Pay & Play initiative from Nintendo was made for Monster Hunter 3 with Capcom charging a monthly fee to play the game online. However, Capcom’s been thinking about it and they might not be charging us westerners to play the game online and it indeed might be free.
Chris Kramer, Capcom USA Senior Director of Communications and Community says “[removing fees is] something that were looking into at the moment and there are a few factors to consider. Firstly, Monster Hunter isnt as popular in the West, so it might put people off. Secondly, Japan doesnt have Friend Codes, so Capcom run all the servers and the monthly fee is essentially to pay for those costs.”
That’s not all either as the games producer, Ryozo Tsjmoto, says Wii Speak support may be added. Capcom is going to try it out and see if it can work with the game and if it will they’ll include it.
Monster Hunter 3 is set for an early 2010 release.
