So with E3 around the corner all of us fans of Monster Hunter and more challenging games were eagerly awaiting Capcom’s hopeful showing of the game.

Unfortunately, it was not to be as Capcom announced it would not be one of the games being shown. It’s now predicted it will be displayed at the Tokyo Game Show in October. This does make some sense as while the Monster Hunter games have sold phenomenally well in Japan, (Portable 2nd G has not only managed to outsell SSBB and Mario Kart Wii, but has reinvigorated PSP sales) outside of the land of the rising sun, sales have not been so crash hot.

Which has unfortunately led many to believe that not only would Portable 2nd G not be translated, but that Monster Hunter Tri wouldn’t be released outside of Japan either. Hopefully due to the immense sales of the Wii and the lack of more mature games on the platform, Capcom give us a prompt English release.
