Monster Hunter news on the way for the western world

While Japan has been going gaga over Monster Hunter 3G and the upcoming Monster Hunter 4, fans in the west have been left in the cold. The last time the Monster Hunter franchise saw a release on a Nintendo console outside Japan, we got Monster Hunter tri and the reception and sales on the title were great. So what’s going on, where’s Monster Hunter on the 3DS outside Japan? Never fear, news is on the way.

Capcom America has a brand new community manager type-person and they’re big Monster Hunter fans, he’s given a hopeful hint on the official Capcpcom Unity blog.

I actually joined as a user specifically to inquire (read: complain) about the situation regarding Monster Hunter 2 (dos) Western release back in 2005/06 – so I know exactly how it feels to be lacking a new MH game for a while… patience is a virtue, right? Eventually it pays off somehow… we’ll have something veeeeery soon.[/quote]

So yes he doesn’t say anything about the Nintendo 3DS versions of the game, it could be anything else but there’s some hope for you folks.

Time to get on the hype train?
