Deadly serious - MH3g - Capcom were so lazy on this one the completely outsourced it to 8ing. So not sure why they are getting all the praise. Capcom are terminally scared if updating the damned game - hell look at MH4 (actually Capcom developed) - this looks graphically way worse than MH3g - Soooo fucking lazy that it seems any graphical boost we can hope for is to have a second party hopefully swoop in.
Maybe that's why MH4 is delayed?
But yes - no fucks given that it sells here - they saw the vita, saw that work would have to be done then signed up to Nintendo to avoid the horror of not basing their games lock/stock on the same fucking engine as MH1 from years back.
Once they are done with Nintendo then they'll head over to iOS
Also - just to add - these complaints are born out of playing every MH game to date. The series is sooooo fucking stale right now and a lot rides on Mh4. There are some good stuffs : environment means more, vertical fighting could be good, no underwater (yay!), new black banner monster looks awesome, mountable enemies, dynamic caravan base is a cool idea - but there's a slew of shit already - bringing a lot of very shit monsters back from older games, I think the new weapons look okay to shit, x4 dialogue of MH3g (nooooo fucking why?!?)
