Monster Hunter Going Mobile Again

Monster Hunter Going Mobile Again In 2006, Capcom launched their first Monster Hunter game for mobile phones. While the 2006 title was strictly a single player experience, their upcoming MonHan Nikki Mobile Airu Mura is the exact opposite: a social game.

 

MonHan Nikki Mobile Airu Mura is another spin-off title starring the series’ Felyne mascots. According to Capcom, “In addition to enjoying item collecting and changing your Airu’s clothes in a peaceful village setting, this all-new Monster Hunter game will feature the phenomenally popular multiplayer cooperative action that fans of the series all over the world have come to know and love in a new social gaming package.”

 

Capcom also make mention of the fact that Airu Mura is going to be easier for newcomers to adjust to, and is meant to attract new fans to the franchise. The game is currently scheduled for a release this August on DeNA’s “Mobage-town” platform.

 

Airu Mura will be free-to-play with additional content you can pay for.

    Monster Hunter for 3DS Capcom….pleeeaaaaase. I didn't like it on PSP….but that's more of the hardware's fault than the games.

    And putting it in 3DS will make it better? I could accept what you said if you meant a console -.-, is not like they had released a MH for a nintendo console before anyway, And in the PSP is perfect, the only problem is the camera, but after you get used is really not much of a deal, this is just the perfect portable for monster hunter.

    I never said 3D would make it better so don't go ahead and assume you know what I'm trying to say.
    I don't like the physical design of the PSP. The screen may be “sexy” to you but its not to me. The analogue nub is in a bad position and feels cheap on the PSP.
    I like the hardware design of the 3DS much better and the slide pad on it feels MUCH better than a PSP and the screen is a lot better too. I'm not saying 3D will make it better. Im saying that I might be able to enjoy portable monster hunter on a 3DS because the hardware feels better in my hands.
    I love Monster Hunter Tri for Wii and I think the series fits a console better than a portable but I'd still like to enjoy some portable monster hunter, sadly I can't enjoy it on a PSP.

    How do you know the pad and screen will be better? Unless you were to E3, in which case I would understand.

    But yes, the game will probably get to 3DS sooner or later. It seems everyone and their grandmas are making games for it, so it seems an easy bet.

    i like your fanboyism.

    So in other words, you suck at playing on a psp?

    First… i dont think you already felt the 3DS pad yet (is not like i had either but well, we still dunno), if you had, then forget this, and well, the DS have the same buttons the PSP has, so i dont think you will do much difference…, even more, the joystick is above the pad, is easier to move with joystick and with the pad move the camera. And i cant understand what you said at the end, monster hunter tri is exactly the same as any other MH, only with water battles (almost the same as in ground) and new bosses and places.

    I was at E3 and I got my hands on the 3DS thats how I know. Again you're not understanding me. Its not the controls of the games I have a problem with its the physical hardware of the PSP that ruins it for me.
    Im saying Monster Hunter Tri works better imo because Monster Hunter fits a console better than it does a portable. Big monster, long game sessions, etc.

    Really…

    Yes I was at E3 thats how I know. Of course most people think Im talking out of my a**
