Monster Hunter 3 On Wii
Monster Hunter may be a series commonly overlooked or disregarded in North America, but the opposite is true in Japan. The recent Monster Hunter Freedom and Monster Hunter Freedom 2nd for the PSP have each moved over 1 million in sales in Japan to put that in perspective, they are the current best sellers in Japan on the PSP hardware. (Perhaps soon to be outdone by Final Fantasy). It’s with so amount of glee that this morning that the 3rd numbered installment of the series is now a Wii exclusive. He believes hardcore fans truly have a reason to celebrate, and they are making strives towards that crowd.
“I understand that some experts argue that our success is short-lived and temporary,” Nintendo’s president said. “So, now we need to make efforts to [offer] services and titles that can appeal not only to those who have never played games but also to those who play them hard.”
Exclusives are something that truly make or break a console, and third party exclusives are still something that is rare for Nintendo consoles, even given the current success. It’s high time that Nintendo started changing things around, and hardcore gamers started to benefit from the sales of the Wii console.
