Nintendo to distribute and market MH3U

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/pr/32233

In Europe and Austraillia, Nintendo and Capcom have come to an agreement allowing Nintendo to take full controll of the marketing and distribution of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Capcom will remain as the publisher but all other aspects of bringing the game to the west and popularizing it have been given to Nintendo.

This is a good thing but can also be look at as Capcom not wanting to "risk" their own money on the west or to deal with the western market in general. But regardless it seems Nintendo as they did with Tri is supporting the series in the west.

Though no announcement has been made yet Nintendo will most likely take controll of the game in the US as well.


So here's a poll question for you all!

If there is one thing nintendo can do, it's sell games. Look at Zelda and Mario, essentially the same game every time but yet people still buy those like hot cakes. So if Nintendo can do a better job at marketing and popularizing MH then fine by me, more people to hunt with the better.

Nintendo does pretty well with their commercials, and they did put out commercials for Kingdom Hearts so of course they're going to do the same for Monster Hunter (something that could bring a crap ton more money than KH)

I dunno, Nintendo America seem to be pretty bad at marketing correctly.

Europe is so-so.

Either way we still get our Mon Hun.

They try at least that is more than can be said for capcom with the past monster hunter games. I only saw one mhfu comercial and at was late night.

Well... with the story, but the gameplay of each differs quite a bit.
Sunshine, galaxy, and 64 don't even play the same way, nor work the same, but they still have that... Star/sprite collection... that... I.... Am... Getting... annoyed by..

I hope they bring back the guy from the Tri commercials.

Nintendo are good at what they do when it comes to advertising games. They may/will make the MH series appeal to a wider audience than before, and due to the WiiU and 3DS, a better audience. Either way, I'm still getting MH3U! I've started to say goodbye to my social life already, so.. MH3U - My Body is Ready!
