October 10, 2007 | Filed under Gaming, Nintendo Wii, Sony Playstation 3
Yet more bad news for PS3 owners as news has come to light that Monster Hunter 3 is being cut from the Sony games console. Capcom has said that the developing costs to get the game on to the Playstation 3 were very high, so they have now decided to switch platforms and move over to rival Nintendo Wii.
The Monster Hunter series has not been as big as what Capcom though it would be, but the franchise has been very big in Japan and once it moves over to the ever popular Nintendo Wii Monster Hunter 3 is set to be the biggest in the series so far.
Do you think Capcom has made the right decision to scrap the PS3 version and move to the Wii?

Well, if you hang out in various gaming forums, apparently the rumor is flying around that TimeSplitter 4 is going Wii exclusive as well…
Good thing i traded my ps3 for an xbox 360! WHEW!!
WHAT the heck is monster hunter,looks like a boring game to me anyways.
Hopefully it will be a good game as the Wii has very few of those! Im sure Capcom wont let me down though
CAPCOM!!!!! GRAAAAA!!! I HAVE MONSTER HUNTER FREEDOM 1 AND 2 FOR PSP STICK WIT SONY IM ADDICTED TO YOUR GAMES!!!PLZZZZZ THINK ABOUT IT YOU COULD HAVE HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT MONSTERS AND MILLIONS OF DIFFERENT ARMOUR AND WEAPONS, BUT WII DOESN’T OFFER THAT!!!!
This article reads like it was written by a 5 year old.
Capcom made a smart business move when they dumped the PS3 for this game. Monster Hunter appeals to a large japanese audience and the Wii is king. Why spend all the money to make a PS3 version when most of your target audience is buying the Wii?
The target audience in JAPAN are buying the Wii, if Capcom made MH3 on Ps3 it could capture a world wide audience. Millions of people around the world have a Ps3, if MH3 was released on ps3 everyone would know. Feed back from freinds using the messaging system on the ps3 would prompt you to buy this game.
MH RULES!!!!!!!!!! + I have a Wii and Ps3 so ether way i can still get the game.
SONNY SUCKS
