44 Comments

Monster Hunter Tri G launched in Japan last Saturday and has sold extremely well so far. According to reports, the game sold 471,005 copies in its first two days. The 3DS itself also saw a tremendous boost, selling 378,114 units in the week of the game’s launch. If only the game was confirmed to be localised.

      I hate the fact that everyone you verse in Mk7 online automatically go to your street plaza. Gets annoying.

    • Mike S

      I meant ACTUAL street passes as in walking past someone else with a 3DS.

      @mathew ikr and plus you can’t even use then in streetpass quest :/
      @Mike S That’s why I said its a bummer you can’t even use them in streetpass quest(1&2). Basicly there dead weight

    • Mike S

      Not really dead weight, they increase you’re plaza population so you can get the accomplishments for when the population reaches a certain number.

    • Ruīji !

      Well I was just saying D; And awesome! I should go to Disney sometime! ;)

      @FC, “jelly” is the meme-y way of saying jealous.

    I do hope they localize it. But, well…Capcom.

  • Zack

    You mean… *localized?

    • James

      He’s Australian. Australia uses the English spelling, which is an S instead of a Z.

  • Areuto

    I know Capcom has made foolish mistakes but their not dumb enough to not localize this trust on this.

    • Belinni

      They didn’t localize Freedom 3. Arguably one of the best PSP games ever.

    • Areuto

      Do you want this game Released or not

    • http://www.gamesradar.com GameManiac

      I do, and they’ll likely do so.

    • Carlinhos

      YES, absolutely. Hoping for localization since it was announced.

  • millsy

    0_o I’ll be getting this if it gets localized.

  • miiworld2

    First Mario Land, then Mario Kart 7, and now Monster Hunter 3G. What more do you want from the 3DS?! It’s EPIC! xD

    • Carlinhos

      Well, i want 3G to be localized >.>

  • Ruīji !

    I am so getting this when it’s localized!
    I hope everyone does the same?

  • PureDream

    Isnt it coming to europe?

  • Captain Falcon

    O_O
    The Wii U better be region free… :|

    • Mr ECHO

      if it is i think i will import a japanese one

  • DaveBrzozo

    Common Capcom, don’t be stupid. ..er.. than usual..

  • Palkiasv

    Good job Capcom! Now localize it.

  • adrian12369

    pleasssse localize it!

  • random guy

    judging by these great sells it only encourages capcom to localise this game

  • Luke

    When does it come in AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Epiclight

    It should be localized soon, considering it’s raelly selling well in Japan. I don’t see the problem with the 3DS being more successive outside of Japan, influencing sales. Something it wrong with Nintendo if they can’t release a well-recieved game outside of Japan. . .

    Although we couldn’t expect more from Japanese gamers to jump on this, lets hope the High sales make them think about bringing it over! :D
