Monster Hunter 3 ditches PS3 for Wii

Monster Hunter 3 ditches PS3 for Wii

In a surprise announcement, Capcom has revealed they will be bringing Monster Hunter 3 onto the Wii.

Originally intended for the struggling Sony lolmachine, a clear change of tactics has taken place. Capcom has now removed the PS3 listing from their website and issued a press release for Wii instead:

"Capcom has worked tirelessly on the latest title in the series, "Monster Hunter 3 (tri-)", to utilize the unique aspects of the Nintendo Wii, which will create a Monster Hunter game unlike any of its predecessors. The attractiveness of the Wii experience is sure not only to please existing fans of the series, but also attract newcomers to this unique adventure".

Monster Hunter is an award winning franchise, so this is good news for Wii fans.

Common sense slowly prevails. Anyone defending ps3 vs Wii seriously needs their heads testing, bad controls, outdated concepts and those long load times, youtube mickey taking videos sum up this stupid console up. Wii all the way baby. Dualshocks belong in a museum.

Monster hunter 3 DITCHED the PS3. For the Wii. SICK. Heh heh. Sony.

I can't do a Nelson point-and-laugh over the computer.

So much for 1080p HD. Smart move on Capcom's part. System sellers like GT5, FF13 and MGS4 still have tentative release dates, so companies who are waiting around for PS3 to pick up might as well file bankruptcy. Now that MH3 is coming to Wii sales will probably increase exponentially in JP. Sony needs a miracle.

It's like a miracle to me. I love Monster Hunter, I was sad when number 3 was coming to ps3, but now it's like a dream come true.

Poor Sony. Getting turned down like that.

Sony is getting REALLY SCREWED OVER. The only thing they have left for them is Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid. Which I don't think will be around for PS4.

When will sony and their lolmachine ever learn?

Any game is good in my book if it ditches Sony for Nintendo. Nice move Capcom.

Wiiiii
This is just what Wii needs. Finally a game for the hardcore gamers. This will sell millions.

This is only one of the many things showing that it was a good choice to put my bets in the Wii. I feel sorry for all who wasted $500-$600 on the PS3.

Sony's goona DIE.

I think we all knew this was just a matter of time. Developers are finally starting to realize that the Wii user base is large enough to start bringing their big titles to us. I am hoping Capcom also does this for RE5, I really want to play it on my Wii.

I've never even heard of this game, so I'm not quite sure how to get excited about this.

The thing that was, and still is great about MH1 is how balanced the gameplay is. Lacking plot and pvp, that's what the MH franchise has going for it, a rare, fun to interact with (once you learn the controls) and fair game. Going to Wii can only make things better, of course assuming that they don't make it hit A or B to attack. Button mashers are boring games.

I never heard of this game, but Wii completely owns EVERYTHING! Whoo! Everything else sucks. Nintendo rocks.

MH is my favorite game and I don't have a ps3 so now it's gonna be on Wii, yay.

Linkman806
Sweet, I never played any of the past games but it sounds interesting. I think I might buy it, but can someone tell me what monster hunt is all about?

This is the best news ever. Capcom must be so relieved they're going to support wii instead of ps3. A game like this will work much better on wii, we want next gen gameplay.

I could never play monster hunter online for ps2 (didn't have the stuff etc) but now its on the Wii. I can I think the Wii is the easiest out of the next gen consoles to set up online. I can't wait for this, I love this game and always wanted to play it online. I just hope they keep online now, which they more than likely will. I mean why ditch that?

Sick, I love capcom and Wii now.

Hero of Time
Haaha, wow sony you deserve that.

Hope that means they will make Street Fighter IV a Wii exclusive.

I bought playstation 3 because I THOUGHT MH3 was going to be on it. I LOVED Monster Hunter. Now what "EPIC GAMES" am I going to look forward to? For Christ sake Capcom. You should make a final decision instead of making false hope for people.

I love the MH games. I have a Wii so that's pretty cool. I just wonder how they're going to do the controls and everything.

I'm glad it's coming out for Wii. I was at a friend's house and I looked up monster hunter 3 and it says Wii trailer on it. I was so happy.
