Capcom says Monster Hunter is their "largest brand," gives more details on Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for Wii U
Online multiplayer included.

Christian Svensson is Capcom’s Senior Vice President, and he has been very busy on the Capcom Unity message boards. Among other things, he stated that the company is focused primarily on Monster Hunter Ultimate for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. When asked whether they would have more in store for Nintendo's new console, he had this to say.

Svensson: “For now, that’s what we’ve announced (for Wii U). Yes. And there are many thousands of people who are thrilled with the announcement of what is our currently largest brand (Monster Hunter) coming to Nintendo’s existing portable and new console platform. The significance of that should not be underestimated.”

In regards to the ability to transfer saves from Monster Hunter Tri to MH3 Ultimate, he responded:

Svensson: “I do not believe save transfers from Wii to Wii U or 3DS will be possible that I’m aware of. You get to experience some portion of the original title again. Remember, it’s about the journey, not the destination.” 

Svensson also said that the Wii U version will run on Nintendo's own servers, something he's "very happy about." He also believes that, "Given that there is cross play" between the Wii U and 3DS versions, "there shouldn't be any differences in content between the two," though he admitted he's not completely sure and is going by what the development team has told him.

We'll have more on Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate as it develops.
