A few hours ago I posted a rumor. The website TGBus.com had published a report a few days ago in relation to the possibility of *Monster Hunter* on the Nintendo 3DS. But it was unclear. Google Translate didn’t do a whole lot for us. But a Chinese reader shared the following translation:

> It has been rumoured that “Monster Hunter” will be out on the 3DS even before its launch, and has now been confirmed by an employee who works for a company which translates games from Japanese into English. “Monster Hunter 3DS” does exist and it was originally to be announced on 13th of March in the Fukuoka conference and the “Monster Hunter Festa 11″ in many other places

…and:

> But we all know that these events have been cancelled due to the recent earthquake. However, as the famous producer Yoshinori Ono has admitted that there will be many new game launches on the 3DS in the future, those who hope Monster Hunter to be on the 3DS can be looking forward to hearing this new game from the Capcom Captivate 2011 next month.”

TGBus has been the source of leaks in the past, so I have a good feeling about this one.

  7. pleasantly intrigued

  8. This is the news I’ve been waiting for! Finally! Woo-hoo! I’ll probably pour more hours of my life into this game than any other game ever released! Freaking LOVE Monster Hunter! :D

  9. Jesus Christ, some people will believe anything. It’s a RUMOUR.

  10. cyberninja45

    If nintendo gets both monster hunter and pokemon on their handheld, psp should forfeit.

    1. Total911

      Lol I think it’s obvious that Pokemon will make an appearance sooner or later… Sorry, Sony.

    2. The Video Gamer

      And if the 3DS gets Dragon Quest as well as Pokemon and Monster Hunter, R.I.P NGP…

  11. cyberninja45

    Will this be the first monster hunter to use the MT framework engine?

    1. Not sure but I believe the PSP did so first… but don’t quote me on that.

  12. 3dsaddict

    OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOGMOMGOMG I AM SO GETTING THIS GAME AT LAUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. sun

    please don’t.i come from china,now being a college guy in england.tgbus is not that reliable.basicly,it’s a place where most of the nintendo fanboy in china hang together.after all,it’s not a professional website.so the “rumors” usually is rumor itself^_^

    1. Darksky

      This is very true though as I have said on previous the last “rumous” post

      This is not a rumour originally from .tgbus
      in fact, this rumour was here since 28th of March

      In fact, the original rumour even had additional information saying that the translation company the person worked for is 8-4 which has actually helped translated quite a few games including “Monster Hunter Tri” for the Wii

      Though I am not sure where the original source if from

      This is all I know after all

  14. xeno

    Hey David a few weeks back u mentioned ar cards for smartphones. Well I downloaded them and tbh I don’t thunk they work well at all most of the time the 3ds doesn’t recognize it and when you try star pix you sometimes get a different person I’d tell ppl that its not the best alternative if you lose your are cards

    1. Faisal95

      i used a pic from my iphone and it worked perfectly :)

  15. Syd Valak

    We’ll find out Wednesday.

  16. jbluna

    any news on that street fighter x tekken story yet?

  17. Flip

    E3 next month!

  18. Flip

    No recent updates for Japanese 3DS? We need some new content :(! But maybe it was because of the earthquake…

    1. Terravexo

      Isnt E3 the first week of June?

    2. Tepig

      :| Oh lord, forgot May

  19. Flip

    Strange people putting their 3DS on microwave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIikjdkgT6U&feature=player_embedded . You’re not sleeping this night after seeing the dramatic video.

    1. That’s the 2nd most scariest thing I saw. the first is here: http://nintendo3dsblog.com/video-tearing-apart-the-nintendo-3ds

    2. No wait, scratch what i just said: this IS the scariest thing ever

    3. DmanBF

      OMG this really is my worst NIGHTMARE what the heck were they thinking.

    4. acg

      they actually put it on ebay. microwaved 3ds for $999.99.

    5. Flip

      It’s not just a microwaved 3DS, it’s a famous one.

  20. asapisaiah

    People on twitter keep saying that they’ve been playing the 3DS for hours (with half-3D) and the battery has only gone down one notch or so…

    1. Total911

      That’s actually the same for me. I always play Pilotwings with half 3D and I only have to set it on the cradle each night.

  21. me

    WOW! Capcom is releasing quite some games! 2 res evil games street fighter layton vs ace attorney megaman legends 3 maybe a tekken game and now also a monster hunter game!

    1. Actually Level 5 is developing the Ace Attorney VS Professor Layton thing. But you’re right, Capcom is going full-steam ahead on the 3DS.

  22. Tepig

  26. cyberninja45

    Screw this I want GTA San Andres stories.
    With gta 4 ragdoll physics engine;
    With local Coop play through the campaign. Since each player has his own screen and each can roam about the city freely unlike the coop for ps2.
    YEAH BABY!!

    1. btj

      HELL YEAH that would be the sh!t!!! i want gta on the 3ds sooo bad!

  27. Marsalis

    Please be true!!!!!!! It would be awsome if you could play MH online on the 3DS!!!!!!!

    1. cyberninja45

      Gyroscope aiming for the shooter class might be cool

  28. DmanBF

    I think this game would be awesome even though the only monster hunter game i played is Tri for wii

    This is my friend code 3480-2539-0677 just wanted to make some friends.

  29. Wilbur

  30. The day that game drops is the day the 3DS begins an amazing new life.

  31. Harris Loxton

    hi david. I was just wondering, do you think i should buy a 3ds now ($350) – or wait until later, when there are more games, more bundles and more system updates?
    thanks!
    p.s. what the hell do you do as a job? – you can afford 2 3ds’ tons of games an a trip to Japan. seriously.

    1. hes maybe a programmer ??
      or it just that her parents are rich.

  32. DmanBF

    If u go to http://www.streetfighter.com/sfxtk/\
    u can see Street Fighter X Tekken

    sorry its not a link u can click on.

    1. DmanBF

      it is a link never mind

    2. It’s nothing relevant, really. It’s just the website for the 360/PS3 version we all know about.

  33. Matthew

    HALLEUGH!

    1. is that how you spell it?

    2. Flip

      sort of Halle-ugh

  34. Mamoon Noorestani

    CAPCOM should make a Dead Rising 3D videogame for the 3DS after this!!!!!

  35. FacestabMan

    I feel that except for Megaman titles, the 3DS is gonna be the Capcom console of choice.

    1. Mega Man Legends 3 has already been confirmed for the 3DS.

  37. Eszter Dobronyi

    There is a Monster Hunter game for the wii, so I believe this rumor is true that Capcom make a MH game for the 3DS… I want it sooo much!!! :D

  38. The Video Gamer

    Imagine this with online with voice chat using built in microphone, streetpass, 3D depth to help you hit the monster more accurately and considering the graphics Capcom has been able to get out of the 3DS with Resident Evil Revelations, this could have beautiful graphics.

    1. WILL have beautiful graphics. I expect non stretched tri visuals with added mt mobile framework that makes ssf4 and resi rev look gorgeous. Online is a must but holy crap this game is one that requires perception based reactions. In fact it’s the core of the gameplay so extra depth from 3D = enhanced gameplay in one of my fav franchises. Ah man, rathalos in 3D is gonna give me the shits. The good kind.

  39. It had better support online play and have some badass spotpass and streetpass content. It’d be great if they had access to your SD card and expanded the game through many spotpass downloads to make it a semi mmo. An I hope they manage to get the underwater zones from tri on their. I expect it’d be a tri-g of sorts. MHF3 had all of the areas of tri but no underwater areas. It needs to trump MHF3. I’m totally pumped for this. Can’t wait. Makes the future of the 3DS even more of a win for me. That’d why I bought it at launch. Get used to the unit with pretty awesome games to try so I am prepared for the über-intense games to come. I am reduced to a little boy again when thinking about all the fun I can have on a new system. Thank you ninty!

    1. 3dsaddict

      water from tri, spa from 3rd, cooking from freedom unite, expanded graphics etc … add these and this will be officially the no. 1 game on my to buy list

  40. malikds

  45. ~TearsToRoses~

    i’m not a huge MH fan, so i hope you’ll do a review on it if/when it comes out so i can give it a try

  46. Andrew

    I dont know much about this series, I checked out the wiki of it but it doesnt say much of what you do or if online would ever be an option. Is it like dragon age mmo kinda? or story based and you just go and kill dinosaurs or something

  47. Explosivejones

    I would rather have a new megaman than this

  48. Flip

    PEOPLE LISTEN

    I have proof that Monster Hunter is 100% coming out. And here is that proof:

    http://stat001.ameba.jp/user_images/20110313/19/masataka9831/fb/15/j/o0800107111106878840.jpg

    The image shows Monster hunter Portable, and looking through the description of it, it mentions the 3DS. DAVID please take this image into consideration that Monster Hunter IS coming out 100%.

    Case Closed.

  52. Ark

    Anyone getting this add me =D FC:1547-5195-3597

  56. BR!AN

    The only games I want to be confirmed are Super Smash Bros 3D, and Super Mario 64 3D. I’ve never heard of Monster Hunter. Is it sold in the US?

  57. [...] famed Monster Hunter series may be jumping on the 3DS bandwagon, according to international sources. Rumored to be announced sometime this month (sooner rather than later), Monster Hunter 3DS (MH3DS) [...]

  58. Soul Etude

    Well, there goes the community again. Tri damaged it incredibly, this will destroy it, Capcom clearly don’t care about their customers anymore, and have become another Squarefail.

  59. Anybody who wants to show further support of MH 3DS please go to Capcom Unity forums to join and discus on this swell of a dream game. Also We’ll just have to wait for after MH Festa to know for sure if it is already in progress. It’s on the 6-7th of April. This week. However, we’ll have to wait another eek because of an embargo or something like that..

  60. [...] If Monster Hunter 3DS exists, we won’t be hearing anything until next weekThere is a rumor that Monster Hunter 3DS will be announced at Capcom’s Captivate 2011 event. But, if that [...]

  61. [...] Capcom to detail six games at Captivate 2011?Monster Hunter 3DS is still a rumor. If the game exists it should be announced at Capcom Captivate 2011, which is happening right now [...]

  62. Navolas

    I think Monster Hunter 3D needs a tab on the side bar.

    under the name Monster Hunter 3D or Monster Hunter 4: 3DS
