Capcom Still Playing The Maybe Game

In a recent post on the gamrconnect forums, cyberninja45 posted some info and a link to document on Capcom Japans website found here.

It only has a few questions in the short pdf that really have to do with monster hunter so I will just recap them for you.

Q What are your overseas plans for “Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G”?

A Our stance for the overseas distribution of this title is the same as for the entire “Monster Hunter” series. We are selling the preceding title “Monster Hunter Tri” overseas so we will consider launching this title overseas, too. But no decision has been reached yet.

Q Please explain why you selected the Nintendo 3DS as the platform for “Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G”.

A First, we believe that using the Nintendo 3DS will allow us to offer new types of expressions, game play action and enjoyment for the “Monster Hunter” series, which has attracted a broader range of user segments. In addition, we selected this platform with the goal of reaching a diverse spectrum of customer segments, including current users of the “Monster Hunter” series as well as people who have portable game consoles.

Q Please explain the framework you are using for the development of “Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G” and “Monster Hunter 4 (tentative title)”?

A Our basic policy is to develop games internally. However, to improve efficiency, we use a hybrid approach that combines internal development programs with outsourcing. So we may outsource portions of development work for some titles. I cannot provide information about our development framework for specific titles.

Q How confident are you about reaching your “Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G” sales volume target?

A We believe that our target can be achieved because of the favorable response to the content and other aspects of this game.
