Monster Hunter 4 Delayed For a Vita Release? (Updated)

Quote :

Monster Hunter 4 was recently delayed in Japan. Originally to be released in March, it has since been pushed back to the summer of this year.

Now Japanese sources point towards a simultaneous release of the game for both the 3DS and the PlayStation Vita as being the cause of the delay.

It was this image taken from a Japanese magazine that originally sparked the rumour.

“Whilst originally it was said that the delay of MH4 was due to wanting to make a better quality game and graphics, the real reason appears to be that it may be released on the PS Vita to increase sales.”

This is all we know at this time. Stay tuned for more information as it comes!

As for what I think, Monster Hunter 4 would be a real system-seller for the Vita, since Monster Hunter is so huge in Japan. It may even be possible that Sony, knowing this, paid Capcom to develop Monster Hunter 4 for their handheld, thinking that it would cause a great rise in PlayStation Vita sales. I know I’d rather play Monster Hunter on a Vita than on my 3DS, if only for that extra control stick.

What do all of you make of this?

HAHAHAHA.

sonys going on the offensive.

also, they arent lying when they said that the delay of MH4 was due to wanting to make a better quality game and graphics.

I wonder what's Lykos thinking.

Yeah..... no. Capcom ditched Sony like a dirty sock after Nintendo made a platform capable of running MH.

Yeah not gonna happen.

This is Lykos' housemate. Lykos commited suicide earlier today upon reading this news

Should have mention that if there was another Monster Hunter game on the PS systems it would have to be the Portable/Freedom series.

Rumor squashed.

Following the rumors that Monster Hunter 4′s delay was to accommodate for a Vita release, the topic was brought up over at Capcom Unity. A brief discussion ensued, after which Capcom Senior Vice President Christian Svensson himself entered the conversation, and his response essentially squashed any chance that the game will leave the 3DS.

I previously expressed my opinion that, given the strong sales of Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate and the 3DS versus the poor sales of the Vita, it was unlikely that these rumors were true. While Capcom hasn’t outright said that a Vita port is an impossibility, Christian Svensson came pretty close to it.

I would not believe everything you read on the internet. It will set you up for disappointment or misdirected frustration.

Following Svensson’s response, the thread was closed from further commenting. Looks like Monster Hunter 4 is staying a 3DS exclusive.
