Japan Attacked by More Monster Hunter Bundles

Them Japanese love their Monster Hunter unlike in the US or Europe. But I have to admit, the game has its charm. That love is probably the reason why there are two Monster Hunter PSP bundles out right now.

The bundle is available in Vibrant Blue and Radiant red, both comes with Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G or Freedom Unite.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite Demo

Mark June on your calendars ghouls and gals, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for the PSP is coming! The demo of the hit Japanese game will arrive on the PlayStation Store and will feature a couple of missions to play through. You start as a higher level character as well, to fully experience Monster Hunter and why the Japanese are crazy for it. The Freedom Unite demo can be played alone or with pals using Ad-Hoc multiplayer.

 

As mentioned, the Monster Hunter franchise is a cash machine in Japan, but can't seem to find its footing in the US. Here's to hoping Capcom can finally pull it off!

Monster Hunter Unite Coming to the US

The week that Monster Hunter Portbale 2nd G was released in Japan, PSP sales went through the roof. On its first day alone it sold 670,000 copies! No doubt Japanese loves monster hunting. But US gamers has little love for Monster Hunter games, as its titles are not doing as great.

Come Spring 2009. Monster Hunter will test US soils again as Monster Hunter Freedom Unite makes it way. Will it help the PSP overtake DS sales the same way it did in Japan?
