Monster Hunter 3 producer uncertain about game’s fate overseas

Monster Hunter 3 producer Ryozo Tsujimoto is uncertain about the fate of the game in the overseas market. He said, “Right now we don’t really know if we’re even going to make an overseas version yet so right now we’re still kind of just looking at the Japanese market. But certainly if the demand is high enough, if you all say, you know, ‘We want it, we want it…'”

A quote from a recent issue of Nintendo Power showed some optimism, as Capcom said that the company wants to take Monster Hunter 3 as an opportunity to reintroduce the series to America.

Meanwhile, Tsujimoto had a few other interesting things to say as well. Tsujimoto states that the development team has been designing the Wii controls in a way so that they won’t tire out the player. Also, the game has been made “adaptable to different kinds of players.” One instance of this can be noticed with the A button. When pressed, a few moves will automatically be strung together and executed without any additional input. Lastly, the graphics have been built from scratch, with “the goal in mind of being the number one in graphics for the Wii.” That might be difficult to do, but Monster Hunter 3 does appear to look like a beautiful game.
