David Gibson, the Head of Software & Services for Macquarie Capital Securities Japan, said it’s “unlikely” that Monster Hunter Tri G will be localised. Christian Svensson of Capcom, however, has responded to simply say:

I’d like him to cite a source.

And to me, that sounds like a flat-out denial of the game not being localised. But what do you think? Are you expecting we’ll see the game in the west?

  • GamingFan99

    JUST. SAY. YES. OR. NO. CAPCOM!

    • Eduardo

      Come on, bro, they were just being ironic. That was a denial of the game not being localised. Unless they cancel it, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. MonHun 3 wasn’t badly supported in any way…

      Exactly.

    • DanteZX

      Capcom doing something smart? That would only make sense, but this IS crapcom were talking about!

    • Eduardo

      The same “Crapcom” who is bringing E.X Troopers for the 3DS and making a project with SEGA and Bandai Namco for a 3DS exclusive. Dude, Capcom ain’t bad. The CEO just made a bad decision -_-’

    • veeladx

      ^ plz CAPCOM put us out of our misery :’c

    • http://www.google.com Abdulraouf

      Personally, I’d rather see Capcom localizing Monster Hunter 4 instead of localizing Monster Hunter Tri G and ending up with a chance of not having 4.

    • mah boi

      They like to surprise others. btw, it’s deal or no deal.

      @Abdulraouf
      All of the main series games(1, 2 and 3) and several PSP games have been localised.
      I think our chances of getting MH4 are a lot higher than MH3G.

    • http://www.google.com Abdulraouf

      I know that some Monster Hunter games were localized, but Monster Hunter Tri G was already out in Japan a while ago and with upcoming E3, we might see Monster Hunter 4 in action meaning if they localize Tri G and 4 being on the way, it would mean there’s a possibility of not seeing 4 unless 4 is going to take a while to be released, but that’s just my opinion.

    • Eduardo

      Dudes who became against Capcom, please, notice how unfair is this:
      - Capcom makes Megaman
      - People acclaim it
      - Becomes a world-wide famous sequel
      - Starts losing buyers because of SOME flawed sequels (LIKE Megaman X 8, which hasn’t sold much compared to the other versions)
      - Tries to launch a new version
      - Missinterprets fan support
      - Cancels the game
      - Gets doomed for EVER, and not a single game released after that is going to be bought by the fans who are addicted to Megaman, even though they are releasing some other awesome games

      I’m not saying they are right, I got pissed off too and I am still disappointed because of this, but I try to see the brighter side: they ARE making nice games for us.

    • Big E

      And this “Crapcom” bulls**t is getting old FAST.

    • MetroidFTW

      Its like Capcom is a sexy girl, and 3g is her lovely awesome bad ass Ass, and the girl is playing hard to get… damn you Capcom!

  • Luigi

    sounds like a challenge, and that the game will be localized

  • Eduardo

    This was kinda missbehaving, but I liked it xD

    I agree with you, David. The game IS getting localised after all. As long as it has lots of free hunting, which is to be expected from MonHun, I think I’ll buy it. Seriously, free hunting is one of the best things of the game: an “all-you-can-kill” mode xD

  • ZimmerRemmiz

    Huh, well I didn’t expect it to be localized, but that kind of sounds like a confirmation that it is being localized, hell who knows, only time will tell…

    • Eduardo

      Well, surely, the guys from DevRoom said something related to MonHun was going to get here in the west for Nintendo, but maybe they meant MonHun 4, which sounds more promising. Maybe I’ll ram for 3G even so xD

  • DanteZX

    The dude ain’t gonna give up his source because it’s most likely someone at capcom internally, and if the higher ups catch wind they’ll definitely fire them. And given capcoms past record of being a dick; well I can see why the guys keeping quiet. >.>

    • Eduardo

      Thanks, conspiracy-theory dude. Let’s have some faith. Capcom ain’t a single person, and many of them gave us the idea that it IS getting localised. I could look for the link regarding DevRoom’s admin talking about bringing MonHun to the west, but I’m too lazy for it xD Just look for past news regarding MonHun 3G

  • Captain Falcon
  • RockVitor

    Already passing the time we launch a petition for Monster Hunter for everyone!

  • adrian12369

    well this sounds good

  • royspaceghost

    OMG that Christian Svensson is such a bitch! haha I love him, thank god, I have to admit I got a little scared when I started seeing “it wasn´t going to be localized”. Now I’ll just have to wait u_u

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ7yv2r1YmM tw33ty

    of course it wont be localized capcom doesnt care, if it were to be localized, that would of have happen long time ago, a few days after the release on japan

    • KING Z

      A Few Days? Try A Few MONTHS! You Failed…

    • Eduardo

      Xenoblade took 2 YEARS to be localised. Your argument is invalid.

    • Kirby 64

      @Eduardo
      And boy,Xenoblade is a great game!! :D

    • Eduardo

      @Kirby 64 Wish I had the money to buy it… It’s freaking expensive in my country! I’ll have to import it… But I shall play this game! xD

    • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ7yv2r1YmM tw33ty

      king Z u still know wat i mean -.- …

    • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ7yv2r1YmM tw33ty

      Eduardo u could say its invalid, but i still dont believe it will be localized, and lets say it takes two years like u said, why would u want the game two games from now? there will be better games and newer ones probably even a newer 3ds version who knows LMAO

    • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ7yv2r1YmM tw33ty

      ^ meant to say why would u want the game two years from now?***

    • Tylos

      Usually monster hunter games are localized here quite a while after in Japan and capcom does the same whith other games but aren’t the only ones: I’m pretty sure MHTri released in America quite a few months after it released in Japan… As did other titles from the franchise and let’s remember Level-5 and how they take a long time to localize their games sometimes too… Like professor layton… As a matter of fact MH4 will probably take a while to get localized too… So don’t give up hope! Even though the time difference in releases might be laziness from them since there’s only text and no dubbing even if there is a massive amount of text it is mostly item and monstah names *ELIPSES*

  • Abraham

    im gay

    • TaIls the Foxhound

      Can we get an IP ban on this one here. This “Abraham”. Seems like it’s one or two people just messing around on a name, they don’t seem to contribute much to the conversation.

    • AceOfBlades247

      And they spam 1-5 word comments. And he reply’s to his own comments 2-4 times!!!

  • http://fixedillusion.com Mayker

    I want this game, and will totally buy it if it’s localized, but since I’ve never played any other games in the series, it’s hard to know what I’m missing out on.

    • adrian12369

      well it’s basically the best series on the psp

    • Eduardo

      Adrian couldn’t have described it better xD

  • Carlinhos

    No, that wasn’t a denial at all. A denial would be: “Hey guys, this Gibson dude is totally out of his mind, and MH3G is coming to the west later this year. Cheers!”

    That answer meant capcom is letting us in the dark yet again.

    • Carlinhos

      ^Oops, this meant to be a reply for the 1st comment thread.

    • Carlinhos

      ^Oops, this is a reply to Eduardo. And also i meant capcom is “leaving us in the dark”.

    • Eduardo

      Okay, they could have been more… Clear, let us say, but they simply said one thing: cite a source. There’s nothing to make us believe that it won’t be localised. Come on, you think they would just try to hype us up just to say they won’t do a thing? Even if 3G doesn’t come to the west, we will get MonHun here for the 3DS. That much is a fact. We might even get a way better version!

      Ok, I need to learn how to express my oppinions in few lines xD But basically, let us not lose hope. Capcom isn’t run by fools.

  • Zack

    Their response is so simple so that they wont confirm or deny anything.. it does seem like they are denying his statement though. But then again, it just seems like they’re saying not to believe everything you hear.

    • AceOfBlades247

      Capcom status: Trolling
      Fans Status: Impatent, Angry
      My status: Eh… I don’t really care.

    • Zack

      I’m not impatient or angry because even if this game was out in the west right now, I don’t have enough money to buy it. And if I did, my first choice wouldn’t be buying this game.

  • Kirby 64

    Monster Hunter Tri was like the best wii game for me.So i really hope MH3G does get localize.Also Monster Hunter 4 :]

  • http://www.shinyscyther.deviantart.com shiny scyther

    im expecing for this F****** game since it was announced…. Capcom….. say something in PARTICULAR for once.

  • Enzo

    They may be with-holding the information for e3 because it’s so soon.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/Spakiness Spakiness

    The game looks sexy and I would like it to be localized :3

  • http://www.facebook.com/GetMeOffTheMoon Michael M

    I think we will see it at e3 maybe. =)

  • Sept

    Mr. Svensson has been very up-to-date on the game, so I find it pretty likely.

  • Jwong

    I would pay big money for this game. BIG MONEY, CAPCOM.

    • AceOfBlades247

      Capcom: How much would you pay? *Snickers*

    • Carlinhos

      50 bucks luls

    OOOHHHHH SNAP

    “I’d like him to cite a source.”

  • darkrosekid

    i dont really care about this game but capcom should listen more to the fans who do want this although i think i should tell people who want this to shut up n give up n etc. since some of them who want this put down the people who want megamen even tho in the end people just want the games they love n no should put others down just for trying.

    • darkrosekid

      no one*

    • KING Z

      MML3 Was Cancelled For Many Reasons. + This Game Is Better Than MML3

    • darkrosekid

      im not saying anything about better or not. im just saying people have a right to try anything they like even if it don’t happen i for one know its not right to try n kill someone hope n dreams. but to y i dont like this game is that there no story n imo it just like cod with being the same game over n over just a few different thing but by no means do i think this game is good or bad n as long as people like it i hope it keep going n please note im not putting this game down cause i don’t like it im just saying what i think n nothing more.

    • J Rye

      I find it funny that the only correction you made in your original post was “no one”…

    • DarkRoseKid

      meh.. making both post on my 3ds i dont think i did to bad

  • Jono

    I doubt it will get localized. MH4, on the other hand….

  • veeladx

    can any1 fill me in on how did the whole 100k megaman thing get turned down like did capcom do the same shit they did here or is it different cuz i just wana kno if my hopes on this should be high or not….

    • AceOfBlades247

      As for now The amswer is still not Conformed.

  • Han Solo

    Piracy is a huge factor when developing a game for the Wii. This definitely has a lot more fans than the Wii version, and will definitely sell well. They would be dumb not to localize it.

    I’m not dying for the game, but I’d probably get it if it came to the US. As long as it plays well without the CPP.

  • Nesyaj0

    Looks like Capcom finally got a +1 from me.
    Most of my spite to Capcom came from cancelling MML3 when they rehashed SSF4 twice ad UMVC3 too many times.
    But whats the point of holding onto the past?
    As long as Capcom isn’t consistently stupid, which it seems like that aren’t.

    • Eduardo

      Man, you’ve just said EXACTLY what I think!

  • LadidaRdam

    Wow, I did not expect Capcom to respond so fast….

    I don´t care that fucking game for nerdys

    I WANT THIS SO BAD!!!!

  • canthia

    All capcom has to do make that game DLC. That game look amazing it would be nice to have another game that uses circle pad pro. Did you know kid ikris uprising supports DLC nintendo should put a patch to support the circle pad pro. Just a short time using that touch screen with the stylus my screen has so many scratches thanks to that game. Great game should have put more time in the controls.

  • Marcelo

    For sure. it’s coming. Because if he said, “I’d like him to cite a source” then they’re probably going to localize it. They’re probably just waiting until E3 for them to announce it.

  • Pessimist

    Hate to sound like a buzz kill or a jerk, but honestly, it sounds like people are so desperate for it to be launched they’ll find confirmation in anything.

    Unless explicitly said otherwise at E3 this year, I don’t think we will be seeing 3G. So much time has passed since Japan got the game, and without any mention of localisation I think the only thing that is safe to assume is that not even capcom are bothering with the game anymore; they’ve moved onto to other projects.

    • Recoil

      I guess Capcom hates money, then.

    • mustbepbs

      MH games always take at least 8 months to get localized. Tri G only came out in December. I’d say if they localized it we’d see a release date in or before August. Just wait for E3.

  • DavidW

    like a BOSS

  • bob

    @mah boi

    Monster hunter 2 never came out in north america or europe

  • mustbepbs

    I think the hardest part for Capcom with the MH franchise is their lack of server framework here. I mean, Tri had a great online feature. I just don’t know if they see it as lucrative enough to justify putting money into keeping servers up.

    And I’d much rather they host their own, instead of sourcing them out and having the company bail years later like they did with MH for PS2.

  • A Link to the Present

    I’m so confused. Why do we care what David Gibson has to say about this? Isn’t he just some random person that has nothing to do with Capcom????

    • KING Z

      Correct.

  • http://guardianhero.wordpress.com Guardian Hero

    I would rather see them planning a localization of Monster Hunter 4.

  • MetroidFTW
  • vdoggie

    Here is the only reason it might come

    Nintendo mentioned they will announce a LOT at E3 for the 3DS for the WEST since the sales are lacking.

    Here is why it won’t

    Honestly, too many to list.. but my main reason is this game is previously 85-90% already translated.. remember, it came out for Wii and the added content isn’t THAT much to translate.. I’m pretty sure it’s NOT coming.

    • KING Z

      After Reading That All I Have To Say Is That It IS Coming.

    • vdoggie

      We can only hope! It would make sense if they want to introduce new users to it and with 4 in the works, it really does make sense but, this is Capcom after all. A lot of their decision have been met with a raised brow.

  • Advance

    That is one bad ass comeback.
