The Monster Hunter franchise hasn't had much luck getting off the ground outside of Japan. Capcom's tried on the PlayStation 2 and PSP without much widespread success and Monster Hunter Tri, designed exclusively for Wii and debuting online multiplayer, will yield another attempt. They're also considering bringing over Monster Hunter Frontier for Xbox 360, according to Andriasang.
"I feel Monster Hunter can definitely succeed overseas," said Capcom's head of R&D and Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune to Famitsu. "There's a high possibility that MHF will kickstart that."
Andriasang picked up the comments from the online side of Japan's Famitsu magazine.
It's unclear that Wii owners are particularly interested in online multiplayer. Monster Hunter Tri may pave the path for a new way for American gamers to try Monster Hunter, but Monster Hunter Frontier on Xbox Live, a service with proven online games, may be the golden ticket Capcom's been waiting for.

monster hunter would be so much better if you could play with players ad hoc mode and infrastructure mode on the psp that would be so epic

Why in hell did MH go to Wii anywayz! its a hardcore game put on a console for little girls and chics trying to get fit! shouldve started with 360 or ps3 instead of F%&*ing Wii!!!
Conar

Yeah, i'll take one, too. Freakin' love MHTri. My first Monster Hunter ever. Love it to death. Then Xbox, with it's party chat and friend stuff and all the online goodness... hmm... but, would like to see it on PS3, also.
Capcom seems to like 360 as it's console of choice. That, or i i havn't seen all it's PS3 games.

I believe monsterhunter should have never gone mobile or handheld. My uncle, his kids and me and my son played the entire PSP series of MH and totally miss the multiplayer online version. We are currently looking for our next challenge online and a new monsterhunter on xbox would rock.

i personally know one person who lost two years of his life to monster hunter on the ps2 and i myself only own a psp because of mhf2 and mhfu. personally, don't think xbox will like monster hunter because it has no "lock-on" as so many american game reviewers sucksead in pointing out, but i think it would fair better on ps3. with the new slim model released recently there are more people than ever that can access the free online community than ever before. hate you capcom.

All I ever know about these games are that they're always at the tops of the Japanese sales charts (usually after one of them Dragon Quests or something)...I don't even know what the hell they are...The name conjures up Pokemon clones like Monster Rancher, but with so much talk about online play I'm guessing another MMO...? I just can't help but feel like the only reasons I've been given to look forward to this series is that Japan likes it...and that can either be totally awesome or scare your pants off inane...

Interesting... I think this will do very well in the west better than Capcom thinks it will.

If they're taking the time to make it, it would be stupid not to release in the US. While not an mmo, this game will be a great multi-player experience, and one 360 desperately needs. Sure, this flopped on PS2, but how many PS2's were even online compared to 360's. This will fill a hole in 360's library, PLUS it's Capcom! They seem timid about their own great brand.

oh my god I would love to play this on 360 I used to play it so much on ps2 online and it was so addicting

Totally Awesome game , could be an amazing experience on xbox live.
For me its a welcome addition to the xbox game library but i would also like to see if the game succeeds on xbox to also make a transition to the ps3, heck it would be even more awesome if that game could link the xbox and ps3 owners on games together that would be epic............. wouldn't you agree?
