The biggest video game franchise coming to 3DS may not involve Mario, Kirby and Link. There's a great chance that Capcom will release a new entry in its popular Monster Hunter series on Nintendo's machine.

Monster Hunter World is close to releasing, which means it’s no better time to reminisce and look back at some of the best Monster Hunter games that came before it.
Carl Williams writes, "The PlayStation Portable was Sony’s first stand alone portable and boy was it a special platform. The power of this bad boy was about on par with the PlayStation 2 console, could play PSOne titles, had a large library (over 1,300 games worldwide), and it was one of the first portables to offer Internet surfing out of the box. Whew. That is a lot of games for fans to sift through, a lot are region specific releases (but the PSP is not region locked). Here are my Top 10 PlayStation Portable games – got a beef with one? Let me know in the comments!10) Mega Man Powered Up"
I'm making $86 an hour working from home. I was shocked when my neighbor told me she was averaging $95 but I see how it works now. I feel so much freedom now that I'm my own boss. This is what I do>> http://www.fl-y.com/3qx0
Goomba Stomp: "In Japan, the Monster Hunter series is something of a legend. Every gamer worth their salt in Japan knows about Monster Hunter, as each new iteration in the franchise, is met with high critique and commercial success. However, this is not the case over here in the States. The first time I had ever even heard of the franchise was a preview for the series’ third installment, Monster Hunter Tri, in Nintendo Power. The idea of hunting giant beasts with an online team seemed like a really cool concept to me, especially when I learned of how well the series was received overseas. Little did I know that Tri would go on to become the single greatest experience I have ever had with an online multiplayer game."
It's like drugs, people who haven't try it looks at it like it's some kind of outlandish, weird thing they'll never understand why people are addicted to it. But once you try it, preferably with friends... suddenly you have 200 hours logged in in just a short time you'll never guess it's a capcom game.
too bad they chose to release it on a niche platform in the west, if only capcom has the brain to upgrade the graphic and release it on PS4/XB1 I'm willing to bet it'll be as huge as overwatch, only you won't be bored as fast.
Its funny because even though i know Generations is exactly the same as Monster Hunter 4, just with even less story and the addition of Arts, its still addicting as hell. There's just something about it. The preparation before going out to fight a particular monster is probably my favorite aspect of the games.
Knowing your enemy and what weapons, tools, and items to bring is something missing from a lot of games that is done really well in this series. That strategic feeling before the actuall nonstop action begins once you find the monster is unlike any other game that I've played.
Obvious statement is obvious. PSP is in the driver's seat right now in good ol' Nippon, no reason for Capcom to make the switch with an already huge + growing PSP userbase.
It would definitely see a boost but do people want it on the 3DS when the NGP with 2 analogue sticks is coming out.
