Capcom: Monster Hunter 'best game you'll ever play on PSP'

07.04.2009
With the upcoming release of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Capcom's Colin Ferris stated that the latest game in the hot-selling Monster Hunter franchise will be "the best game you'll ever play on the PSP." Ferris also talks about working on Freedom Unite in a post on the :

It's a rare treat to be able to tell people that I'm working on the best selling game in Japan last year. To those who are unaware, they immediately think of PS3 games like Metal Gear Solid 4. Nope, my game outsold that and every other console game on the market.

The game? Monster Hunter for the PSP.

The latest version (Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G) was the top selling game in Japan last year and no amount of giant robots can change that. With over 3 million copies sold to date in Japan, about one in four Japanese PSP owners have the game. To be able to work on bringing a game of that caliber to the US is both a pleasure and an honor. It's also the best game you'll ever play on the PSP.

It's apparent that Monster Hunter games sell like hotcakes in Japan, it's yet to be seen if the same will happen when Freedom Unite hits the States.
