Capcom has shipped more than 3 million copies of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G for the PSP in Japan, Capcom announced today. The game has been released in three editions: the original release, the hardware bundle, and a "The Best" reissue.
It's a massive success story for Capcom -- Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G couldn't have cost much to make, being based on Monster Hunter Portable 2nd, which is itself based on the PS2 Monster Hunter 2, and yet it was the best-selling game in Japan last year. It was also the only PlayStation title to sell over two million copies in Japan in 2008. The company has more big numbers to look forward to when it releases the game in North America as Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.

Your meat burned lololol n00b.
I wonder if the game best grill is a foreman.
(Does that sounds like a shameless plug to you? It sure did to me)
I never found this one,it must be like GX3 only avalible in not your country.I never managed to finish Freedom because the loading times were a huge part of the game.You had to wait ages to play a little and battery died too fast but if you get to the big bosses it was actually great.
Another problem is that I kind of screwed my character because I always tried to get the alt weapons but sadly they were pretty lame.

I tried one of these games out and couldn't figure it out. It seems to have an extremely steep learning curve. :(

So, no sane reason to let MH3 just languish on a kiddy console then? Good. MH3 PSP, please! :)

Was sat next to a guy playing this on the train this morning.
Will probably be sat next to a different guy playing this on the way home tonight.
Come to think of it, its very unusual that i'm NOT sat next to a guy playing this...
... i guess i occasionally end up next to girls playing Animal Crossing DS.
It looks terribly dull as a spectator, but i guess a lot of games do.
