Capcom announces new Monster Hunter spin-off for PSP, awaits money-flood

by Andrew Yoon { Oct 26th 2009 at 11:45AM }

Capcom surprised attendees of a Monster Hunter competition in Tokyo by announcing a brand new Monster Hunter title for the PSP. Don't get too excited though -- this appears to be a spin-off game, featuring the series' Toro-esque mascots. The game is titled "Monhan Nikki Poka Poka Airu Mura," or "Monster Hunter Diary Poka Poka Airu Village."

Other than this logo, no other details were revealed about this mysterious new entry to the Monster Hunter franchise. Considering millions of Japanese people bought a PSP specifically for Monster Hunter, Capcom is bound to rake in a lot of dough when this eventually releases.

"Capcom is bound to rake in a lot of dough when this eventually releases."

...except that everybody pirates PSP games instead of buying them now.

...except that people bought PSPs and Monster Hunter in Japan to play Monster Hunter, not some cheap cash cow spin off.

If Final Fantasy and Pokemon are any indication, they'll buy it just because of its affiliation with a major franchise.
