Topic: Monster Hunter Tri G for the 3DS confirmed

[BeautifulShy]

Well in the most recent issue of Famitsu it has been confirmed that there is a version for the 3DS. Here is some details of the game.
Monster Hunter 3G is an enhanced port of Monster Hunter Tri.
3G is out in Japan this year in Japan.
Will have 12 weapon types and will feature the underwater hunting from Tri.
Local Multiplayer included but online specifics not mentioned.
Touch the touch screen to automaticly face the monster.
New cover Monster is Blakidos.










Pretty excited about the 12 weapon types and that under water hunting is back.
These are the weapons that will likely be in this game. sword and shield,dual swords,Long sword,Great Sword, Hunting Horn,Hammer,Lance, Gun Lance,Bow,Switch Axe, Light Bowgun and heavy bowgun.

Oh also TGS is next week so maybe we will get more info and screens and maybe video of gameplay.

Not sure what to think about this.


I really enjoyed Monster Hunter Tri (Wii) but kind of burned out on the game after a couple of hundred hours and haven't been able to reignite a passion for the online mode - despite the fact that more in-game content is available if I want to pursue it.


A portable entry does have me interested, but "all the content from Tri" sounds like I'll be repeating a lot of work from the previous game. Then again, didn't the review hint at interacting with a different system? Maybe there is a way to carry over your character data from the Wii vesion? Not sure how that would work unless hooks were programmed in for data export, but maybe Capcom was thinking ahead on this one?


I'll probably buy 3G either way, but my actual excitement level will depend on how much new content is present.

This is good news, its a great game and one that should create huge momentum for the 3DS, the scans looks really nice, am not the biggest monster hunter fan, but hell anything that gives steam to the 3ds am all for it, now the second analog stick for the 3ds it uncalled for, the thing looks plain ugly and am sure nintendo is already working on a new version of the 3ds, but for all of us with the current one we are stuck with half completed system.

A few more details have been confirmed.
Burakidos has been confirmed. It is that monster at the bottom that is blue and yellow in the first post.
Mountain Stream area will be included.Mountain stream was in Portable 3rd.
Plesioth will be an Underwater battle.
Azure Rathlos is confirmed.That is a sub species of Rathlos.
Cherry Bloslum Rathian is confirmed. Sub species of Rathian.
Lagiacrus, Ceadus and Gobul are back.
Moga village is back for offline.
New town called Tanjia port.
Cha-Cha has rival called Kayanba.

Iwonder if Jehn and Jho will be in the game? If Capcom takes the newer monsters from Portable three and enhances the quality of Tri then I might get this game. Will the online allow players such as myself, Maxi and Mop to play together like the Wii game?

[BeautifulShy]

At this point it really isn't known about most monsters or about the online. Maybe TGS will have more details.
If I come across anything I'll post it but for now lets talk about what is known.

[Ceric]

I would assume at this point everyone from Tri will be back.

Looks like the bowguns will be streamlined down to light and heavy bowguns but there will be some additions to those that will add more to the game. Also looks like there will be 3D support but it won't be the main focus.

[Mop it up]

If the game's anything like Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, it will have half old content and half new content. The only way I'd be interested in another game in this series is if it were a new entry, and probably only if it fixed some of the issues I have with the game. I'd also want it on a console, which likely means the Wii U.

Japan's site is up.You can find it here. http://www.capcom.co.jp/monsterhunter/3G/

Here is a video of a Plesioth and the new monster Brachidos.

Also there was some new monsters revealed the other day which I will post shortly.

[BeautifulShy]

Urukususu video. Urukususu was in portable 3rd so there is a high chance of getting portable 3rd monsters in here in the game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUnhO4tOiQ0&feature=player_embedded

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VquhToPjc-k&feature=player_embedded  That is a Great Furogi in the video who was also in portable 3rd.

Here is an Icy Lagicrus.


And here is the Brachidos armor.

Well as someone else mentioned in some other topic there isn't going to be online play for Tri G.

Well as someone else mentioned in some other topic....

That scan is from the most recent issue of Official Nintendo Magazine. As you can see at the bottom it has an Autumn 2012 ETA. So based on this there is a possiblity that this will see release in Europe at that time.

Oh also here is some videos.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT38pFT2Qdg&feature=feedu
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C8T1JWDJFg&feature=feedu

First video goes over the controls and how the touch screen is used for items and it also shows how the camera works. Second video shows of the monsters and various weapons and armor.

[Ceric]

So when Japan will be getting Monster Hunter 4 more then likely Europe will be getting 3G...

[BeautifulShy]

Maybe Ceric. Generally speaking it usually takes longer for Monster Hunter games to make it out to the western world. I think portable 3rd was released in Japan December 1st 2010 and Tri came out in Japan August 1st 2009 and Tri came out in the states April 20th 2010 so that is 8 months between release so it shouldn't be that long of a wait if it comes out here. I think Monster Hunter 4 will come out in Japan after Tri G is out in the western world. The new entries tend to take longer to make then the G versions and portable games.

From the QA summary:


Q:  What are your overseas plans for “Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G”?
A:  Our stance for the overseas distribution of this title is the same as for the entire “Monster Hunter” series. We are selling the preceding title “Monster Hunter Tri” overseas so we will consider launching this title overseas, too. But no decision has been reached yet.

Q:  Please explain why you selected the Nintendo 3DS as the platform for “Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G”.
A:  First, we believe that using the Nintendo 3DS will allow us to offer new types of expressions, game play action and enjoyment for the “Monster Hunter” series, which has attracted a broader range of user segments. In addition, we selected this platform with the goal of reaching a diverse spectrum of customer segments, including current users of the “Monster Hunter” series as well as people who have portable game consoles.

My (overly optimistic) interpretation: Monster Hunter 3 G released in North America by the middle of next year!  I'd rather have 4 but beggars can't be choosers.

[Ceric]

I think the MH fanbase is pretty much resigned to us being skipped for Tri G and getting MH4.  Though a lot of MH Fanbase want to kill Iwata because he said he thought that MH was Niche pretty much.  Which was interpretted as him refusing to allow MH3G to be translated.

[NWR_insanolord]

Monster Hunter is absolutely a niche thing outside of Japan, though. I don't see how you could argue against that.

Thats what I said there.

If this line is even true of the first remake of the game, that one never released outside of Japan. And that was on the PSP, where there were other Monster Hunter games released outside Japan so fans of the series had a PSP. Since there are no established fans who own a 3DS, I don't see it happening.

[NWR_insanolord]

This series seems like the kind of thing that I'd much prefer on a handheld than a console, so I'm definitely looking forward to Monster Hunter 4. I doubt I'd buy 3G, since I wouldn't buy both and if I were only buying one I'd definitely wait for the almost certainly superior new version.

[Mop it up]

I take it you're not interested in online play then?
