Monster Hunter X Has Just Passed 3 Million Units Shipped in Japan

Want this and want it now. I order the cover plates and now I want the game localized here. Make it happen Capcom lol

And yet we have no announcement even... Will we have to wait for X Ultimate? Come on Capcom, I'm really trying to give you money!

I am hoping the nx is a hybrid and this will cause the MH games to really pick up the pace in the graphics department. The monsters still look great but imagine if the game looked like Xenoblade Chronicles X instead of MH X.

Really want to play as a cat, Capcom. >.>

I'f they release this in the West, then I'll help add to this statistic.

Why would they need a Localised release if the game itself is selling huge in Japan alone?

For Nintendo, it makes a LOT of sense for them to release Metroid in the west because of the market loving it. But for something like Monster Hunter.....why would they release it to the west? Localising games is costly as we have learnt from Nintendo here...(ahem Genealogy of Holy War NoA....make it happen) So why even bother. After all....Dragon Quest is better off in Japan so what makes Square Enix prompt them to release it in the west with the exception of the two ported games announced recently?

But seeing their catalogue..... what games besides Resident Evil, Street Fighter and Monster Hunter do they have? I feel that they are better off being owned by Nintendo because I'm very positive that small chance of them not reaching 2 million copies will end that series. Its already happened for Darksiders....and soon for Mega Man.....

Seems pretty standard over there. It is to them what COD is to the West.

I sort of enjoyed MH3U but I don't need to play another one for years now. The games have all the bad time wasting mechanics of an MMO but without so many of the good aspects.

I'm worried that they will remove the chat like they did in monster 4.
SHAME!

X ultimate will likely come out in 2016 in Japan would it kill them to work on the localisation at the same time so we can get a worldwide 2016 release instead of us westerners having to wait till mid-2017

@Peach64 People comparing Monter Hunter to a MMO don't understand what Monster Hunter is. It's an action game with very precise hitbox and animation (like Dark Souls or Bayonetta), not a RPG. It isn't about improving your character so he becomes stronger, it's about improving yourself and your gameplay to not die.

Monster Hunter NX.. What will treat so as a launch title?

That is all......

For a small country that's a lot! Hopefully we get it soon.

Of course this game will be localized. Capcom has to give Western Nintendo gamers something to play beyond a bunch of old roms packed in NA with a Gold amiibo.

I'm thinking this will be in next direct, considering how good 4U did. It's gonna be localized no matter what, the question is when.

@Socar 3 million, less than a month, every mh game since a least 3 has been west-side, also its gaining popularity in the west.

I don't see why not this iteration, (or at most a super version) can't come west-side.

Sometimes when video games like puzzles and dragons and yokai watch sell like hot cakes in Japan. It can be worth rolling the dice on localization.

@Captain_Toad Not every game since Tri has made it west, Monster Hunter 4 didn't. We had to wait for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

I had a go previously of a Monster Hunter demo, couldn't get into it.
Xenoblade Chronicles X however is the way to go if you want to take out deadly creatures.

@Wouwter And that's what we'll have to wait for - a possible Monster Hunter X Ultimate. If they're making one, we'll have to wait for that. If not, then we'll get Monster Hunter X.

I'd much prefer a console version for a game like this. Voice chat would be cool.

A friend of mine used to play the PSP MH games excessively, so I finally gave it a try and bought Monster Hunter 4.

I really don't like it and can't understand the hype around the series. There's terrible game design everywhere. It's like playing a single player MMO. Do boring missions without a proper story, questing, farming, looting... no thanks, I prefer RPGs like Xenoblade which have a better fighting system and more entertaining gameplay experience.

@OddworldCrash Heh, the Monster Hunter games requires a lotta patience, studying monster attacks and dealing with animations and stuff that your character does. If you plan to come back to this, I recommend to watch some youtube tutorials and some help from people and log in a couple more hours because the MH series isn't for everybody. Not exactly your standard rpg and not exactly a jump in jump out kind of game.

@Captain_Toad Well, it's bad game design then. I'm not interested in watching tutorials on YouTube just to understand basic gameplay (same reason why i dislike MOBA games).

But anyway, that's not my issue. It's not the difficulty in Monster Hunter that bothers me, the game just bores me.
