MHF2 and MHP2G (PSP)

[Twin-Skies]

Come GDC 2007 however, BAM! They let loose with a press release announcing that it's on its way. They just didn't want the hype starting up without their saying so. Might be the same case here.

Just to be sure, I'll see if I can email Capcom with a formal inquiry via my job. We're a game news blog after all, so they might be a little more factual if we make a proper inquiry

I'll see what I can do in the next few weeks.

I can't help but think the hype will be for Monster Hunter 3 for the Wii, and not a westernized version of MHP2G. It's too late in the game for Capcom to launch the title now, since everybody has it already. It could theoretically be for the Monster Hunter Frontier MMOG which just came out in Japan. Anyway, please use connections to find out more if possible. Perks of the job. Developers probably hate your company's guts though because you guys host CFW on your servers.

We're not on bad terms with the devs - it's Sony I'm more worried about.

I've sent an email to Capcom's current PR lady earlier, so I'm hoping to get a reply soon. That said, their campaign may be aimed at MH3 for the Wii, though I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

IMHO, the Wii is a poor platform for MH3 if you're talking multiplayer. I always felt that was one aspect of the PSP that made MHF2 such a success on the system - the fact that you could link up with anybody anywhere, provided you and your posse are within Adhoc range.

The Wii? Friend Codes? WTF? Maybe if they linked MH3 up to the Wii Channels (Like for Mario Kart Wii), with regional/global top scores and all, that'd be interesting. Now imagine an LFG feature like in WoW...awesome...

Good luck with the DLC though - the Wii's biggest weakness for updates is its reliance on an SD card for external memory.

On a related note, Skies of Crimson is down but I managed to find someone kind enough to link me to a tutorial on how to patch 2nd G in English, and to convert my save data.

As I asked earlier - will I lose my MHF2 gear if I convert it to 2nd G? That's what worries me the most.
