It seems that Capcom didn’t fill Sony in on the fact, or at least the specifics, that the next numbered Monster Hunter game would be appearing on 3DS. When Sony was asked how Nintendo snatched the deal from Sony, the President of Sony Computer Entertainment Japan, Hiroshi Kawano admitted, “I don’t know. You will have to ask Capcom.”
However, Sony is reassuring fans of the likelihood a Monster Hunter game will appear on Vita. In a separate interview Shuhei Yoshida stated that fans shouldn’t rule out the possibility that the franchise will appear on Vita in the form of a new game.
I think it’s inevitable for Vita to get its own Monster Hunter, but 3DS undeniably has a head start with the Japanese fans since the platform will get Monster Hunter Tri G in December and Monster Hunter 4 at some point in the future.
