A while ago, I believe there were rumours of Monster Hunter coming to the PlayStation Vita. Just in case you were wondering if you should wait for that version though, wonder no more: it’s not happening. Capcom shared on their forums that “no plans for a PSVita Monster Hunter at the moment”.

Of course, “at the moment” means it could always happen, but I’m going to guess it’d be quite a wait from this point onward.

Capcom has confirmed that a Monster Hunter game will be released in North America this year. Unfortunately, the information they can’t reveal for the moment is “what it is” and “when we’ll know”. With the approach of the Tokyo Game Show though, along with the media briefing on the 13th, there’s lots of room for announcements.

This tune is becoming a tad too familiar, Yuri Araujo of Capcom has said:

I know exactly how it feels to be lacking a new MH game for a while… patience is a virtue, right? Eventually it pays off somehow… we’ll have something veeeeery soon.

There was also a winking face thrown in at the end. But at this point, the expectations have been stretched for so long, it’s really going to suck the power from any announcements.

We’re sort of expecting to see Monster Hunter announced for the 3DS at the Tokyo Game Show and Mizuho Securities, an analyst firm in Japan has a similar expectation. They believe Capcom’s share price will rise because “it is expected that Capcom will announce new entries in major series like Monster Hunter at the Tokyo Game Show.” As andriasang reports though:

It’s not fully clear if Mizuho has learned of a specific Monster Hunter announcement, or if they’re just saying that major titles like Monster Hunter will be announced.

Let’s just hope they know something specific and that it’s for the 3DS.

There was a string of rumors that suggested Monster Hunter would be coming to the Nintendo 3DS. Nothing came of those unfortunately, but there’s still a chance we’ll see the game on the handheld. David Reeves, the COO of Capcom Europe has said, in reference to the 3DS and the Vita that, “I think down the road, you could probably see a Monster Hunter iteration somewhere. Probably on both of them.”
