Monster Hunter Makes the Jump to PS3 in Portable 3rd HD Version
When fans were asked what they’d like to see from Monster Hunter in the future, one of the more common answers seen was, “Bring it to PS3!” Well, it looks like Capcom had already been secretly preparing to make that a reality.
Today, Sony has announced the PSP Remaster Title Series. The first game to get the HD treatment (at least in Japan) is none other than Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, the latest (yet to be released in North America) game in the main series.
Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Version will allow players to experience the game in all its uprezzed glory. You’ll also be able to make use of the second analogue stick for camera control. That’s right. No more hand cramping claws!
If you’re an importer like me, you might be thinking, “This is great, but does it mean I have to start all over and lose my current progress?” The answer is a resounding no! You’ll be able to transfer your save back and forth between the PSP and PS3 version letting you make use of the more comfortable home setup without sacrificing your portability when you go out. You can also use adhoc party to play with other people regardless of which system they’re on. That’s cross-platform hunting!
There’s no word yet on a North American release, but you can always make your voices heard at Capcom Unity. In the meantime, take a look at the official comparison video below.

I’m not necessarily happy with this. The comparison pics make the conversion look worse than the God of War Collection’s (i.e. even less sharp than MHTri) and we still don’t know if they’ll be giving us all three controller styles from MHTri.
Here’s hoping the lack of graphical detail gives us a better frame rate.

Jonah "spambot" Gregory says:I want this. I bought the PSP to TV cable just so I don’t have to look down all the time while playing at home. This is like that times ten.
