Monster Hunter 3rd finally announced?

I made the assumption that north america will not see the release of Monster Hunter 3rd, and I was right. Not exactly a "told you so" moment, but it did seem obvious. (Sadly)

Yes, it finally has a release date, but it's not exactly what you think it to be. Monster Hunter 3rd will see a stateside release, but it will do so on the ps3. A so-called "re-mastered" version in HD.

I am not too happy with this decision. As we all know; it seems that the MH series is one that was meant to be enjoyed on a handheld console. However, it seems that if you want to enjoy the latest MH epic; you'll have to acquire a ps3.

Personally, I have no problem with this, but it is a massive let down. The game was obviously built for the psp, and yet it won't be seeing a release on north american units. I would of been more surprised if a brand new MH title was announced for the ps3, but it seems like Capcom is more interested an a strategy that would perhaps improve sales on their game.

No Monster Hunter for you.
