A few days prior to the start of the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom announced Monster Hunter 4 as a 3DS title. A big coup for Nintendo, or is this going to be another example of Capcom's multiplatform strategy?

Based off comments from Sony Computer Entertainment Japan president Hiroshi Kawano, it looks like Monster Hunter 4 really is a 3DS exclusive. During an interview following Sony's pre Tokyo Game Show press conference, Reuters Japan asked Kawano if a new Monster Hunter will be released for Sony systems. "At present, there is no talk of a new Monster Hunter coming to PlayStation," replied Kawano.

The Monster Hunter series saw its greatest success on PlayStation Portable, with each installment selling upwards of four million copies. Earlier this year, Sony used Monster Hunter Portable 3G to show off PlayStation Vita's backwards compatibility with PSP titles.

This is hardly unexpected.

CAPCOM are trying their hand at Nintendo and are wanting to see what they can do with Monster Hunter on one of Nintendo's systems. It could pay off.

Smash bros X MH

Mario vs tiggy lulz

I'm hoping their talking about mh4 being exclusive and not mhp3g.

Smash bros X MH would KICK ASS.
ON TOPIC: I think I'm just being mad about this because I don't have a 3DS. If they're doing this spreading out plan, I expect an Xbox installment soon

But they have also said this:

Hard to say what is going to happen. Since the 3ds is out now I am inclined to think the dev kits have been out for much longer than the NGPs, that being so, then any MH currently in dev for the NGP is only in flat code and nothing more. Assuming some of the architecture is the same, they may port a 3DS MH to the NGP later but I highly doubt that is the case, I would prefer an exclusive for the NGP rather than a port from a technically inferior system to the NGP.
