companies are just getting lazy these days. the only reason they keep releasing this franchise on nintendo hardware is because they don't have to actually improve anything. if they made it for ps4 or xb1, they'd have to do a compete overhaul of the engine in order for it to be acceptable. people are just content with how it is now because the 3ds is very limited and figure, "oh well, it's on a hand held so this is acceptable.". it's a shame they won't do a real console release on this game because it would be amazing.

The last Capcom game I bought was Ultra Street Fighter IV on PS4..during a sale. I recommend everyone to not buy their products anymore at launch or short after launch.

The games still sell millions, the franchise is by no means on life support.

Why wasn't Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for Wii-U listed ???

Also, Monster Hunter Frontier G for the Wii, which was released in Japan only ??

Come on Capcom,release it on PS4 already.You want more sales or na?
The psp made mh popular, no respek from capcom.

Loved these games on the PSP. Also enjoyed MH3 on Wii. I don't understand why they don't release these on PC and on PS4.

Maybe if they put it on Playstation again... the PSP games were the shizzle! Hunter Rank 7 in the house!

Capcom shot themselves in the foot by only releasing them on Nintendo consoles. MH would be selling like hot cakes on PC.

Maybe their deal with Nintendo does not allow them to release on a non Nintendo console - They are prob afraid to lose their company lifeline which is MH on 3ds - If they were going to be succsgful on consoles it would prob need to be released on the PS4 and or Xbox 1 Wereas now they would just have the Wii u to release on

Either way i really hope MH is released on a console(s) in the West- it would be a system seller and i can t imagine playing it on the 3DS and w out 2 analog sticks

What do you expect from a series where they seem to pick and choose platform by flipping a coin. Capcom has a long history of making games with a certain appeal platform exclusive. Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter, Dead Rising pretty much all of their big series should never be exclusive. Grow your audience. This is a problem with so many japanese game development companies. I understand super niche Rpg's but a game like Persona 5 could have gave a company like Atlus a whole new audience on multiple platforms like PC and XB1.

try releasing it on other consoles

Truly a case of people only reading the headline and commenting based on that- click bait article that almost has nothing to do with the title- I thought it sounded weird knowing how well MH is selling on Nintendo hardware- especially impressive considering it's only on one console..

The current Nintendo exclusivity will hurt it in the end.

The article title is clickbate and somewhat false? The rest of you? The series is as popular as it has ever been. Monster Hunter Generations on 3DS is capcoms only game to meet expectations.

The series is on such life support that Capcom immediately announced another MH for 3DS, and MH Stories is their big holiday title.

Get out of N4G Nintendo haters.

Damn w.e happened to lost planet. I look at xenoverse and I think what could of lost planet done if it had different developers. Or one of my favorites phantasy star for the Dreamcast, it was my first experience of online play it was so memorable. I especially loved phantasy star and always wanted a sequel, hopefully one day.

P.s I was recently watching a video on YouTube of a guy who recorded himself all those years ago in the year 2001.....damn time flies, playing phantasy star , not gonna lie I teared up a bit , it was so nostalgic

I would agree on many points. MH is a great series and one of the only long haul games i actually get into. But yeah i never spend the 500 hours on it. I get bored after doing the main quest stuff.

Nope its doing just fine. The community is very active. And the game is a best seller on the 3ds so i have no clue how this game can be on life support. The Special Edition Monster Hunter Gen 3ds sold out in a matter of Minutes. MH4U was nearly impossible to find in stores do to how fast it was selling. lol Life support lol ahhh man these people i tell you.

It's my opinion that this opinion piece was silly. That being said, i'd like to see the franchise across many platforms, especially the vita.

A lot of salty sony fanboys in here, how sad.

So... the game is a big selling on 3DS, the online service is free, we got free DLC every now and then, the game usually is pretty cheap since monsters are reused, and the article's author goes by the logic that is "on life support" since the online community is "small" compared to... fps? People in MH gets online for two main reasons: First, to get able to fight against the online-only monsters and get those armors and weapons. Second, to play with friends. It's not the kind of game you just can "pick and play", also, compared to FPS, the single player content is huge, and updated every month. We're comparing apples and steaks here. Just a clickbait article.

PD: Also, don't forget that, unlike modern FPS, Monster Hunter have local multiplayer. I live in Colombia, and yes, we are a small community, but we prefer to play local, face to face, every single time.
