Gaming Does this show MH3G not being localized?

[chris888222]

Well, I was scrolling along the articles until I saw this:

Capcom Committed to Monster Hunter in the West


All sounds good actually, until I saw this:

I think that looking forward there are ways to greatly improve the accessibility and the online feature set. As an example of improved accessibility, the Japan-only Monster Hunter Tri G on 3DS adds an optional lock-on camera for new players.

I didn't want to post but I am seriously worried. As a crazy MH fan and a person who hates the 3DS region lock, I'm going to cry if this were true.

Thoughts?

Well personally im a bit disappointed if TRI G is going to be japan only, seeing how I didnt get it on wii. But its most likely a misunderstanding

it's funny caus one always forgets, due to the magnificant english-patch, that even monster hunter 3rd portable didn' hit the western market, despite being the biggest game in the franchise this far. it's a shame, really. and if its any indication, there wont be a monster hunter 3 G for us either. and with not having any online multiplayer and not being able to use services similar to adhoc-party, xlink kai,... with our 3ds it wouldn't even be that great. (for me at least)

The main prob is that the 3DS is region locked and you'll need to wait till it's hacked.

and yeah, pretty much the rest.

I hope this is a load of capcom bullshit cuz I'd definitely pick up a copy of this game. MH3 on wii was amazing and a portable one would be great, though if there is no online play I may be discouraged.

Well it is Japan-only right now. Doesn't mean to say Capcom won't localize it later.

Edit: And isn't there a brand new Monster Hunter coming to the 3DS anyway, they might be waiting for that instead of localizing a port.

Okay...

And who knows when the 4 will be out, I haven't really played Tri yet... Heard that it's fun.

Have 3rd on PSP. 100% english patched. Totally awesome. Lots of improvements since the last one. Well lets hope they localize it. I dont mind even if it isnt localized, but people will hate crapcom the moment they decide to not release 4.

But it's still AWESOME.

One of the BEST PSP titles I've played!

well i think they pretty surely will release mh3g in english, thats because a uk version WAS confirmed i guess and i dont see the point why they would release it in the uk and not in the usa, not sure about mh4 but ijust wish god(capcom ) listens to me(us) this time and gives me both of them in english,

 

[beenii]

... thats because a uk version WAS confirmed...

no, it wasnt confirmed. check your facts

 

[saberjoy]

oops srry my bad

Let me correct myself. 100% enough to play the whole game without ever wondering what is missing.

It probably means that feature is only in the Japan version.
I hope.

I dunno about other MH games, but no, Tri is terrible. It's a combat focused game, with lackluster, boring, repetitive, and clunky/unrefined combat. Which is...sad and hilarious at the same time.

I agree with Prowler though, it's Japan-only right now, it wasn't saying it would only ever be Japan only.

I had a go just before and got greeted by a wall of Japanese text in the tutorial.
100%? Nope.

So you find that them holding a sword bigger than them shouldnt make themselves slow? Or when doing a big leap you dont end up taking a small pause to get back balance? Sounds like you got beaten up by the game.

@Prowler: Yeah, because MH is so story heavy that you need to understand it.......*Facepalms....
