I don't know if I'm a PS3 "fanboy" - I got the PS3 anticipating MH3, and also because I've just got a lot of PS2 games. I have Folklore, the new Rathet & Clank, and Heavenly Sword and the graphics are absolutely awesome. Monster Hunter 3 would have been incredible looking - and I already love the game-play. The only Wii I have seen is in gamestop hooked to a nice flat panel tv (next to an xbox360 and ps3). Wii graphics only go to 480 (or whatever) resolution, so unless I hear otherwise, this is just a "lateral" move by CAPCOM.

The good news about this is MAYBE Monster Hunter will get more of a following in the USA if it is on the Nintendo. Will Nintendo give it better marketing support? Will Wii owners get it in the USA because its a major "flagship" game (in Japan)...I am asking. I really don't know much about the Wii games.

I guess since MH is my favorite game, I'll be buying a Wii system eventually. But this whole thing is scary to me. Will they redesign the whole gameplay aspect to appeal more to the Wii Market? Isn't the Wii market "casual" gamers?

Monster Hunter is is a weird game - I think you may need to put about 100 hours into it (ok maybe 40 hours minumum) JUST TO GET STARTED!!! It is no wonder it has had a hard time catching on in the USA.

So help me out Wii owners - what can we expect now that the franchise is a Nintendo exclusive? And by the way, is nintendo going to leverage its huge sales to make a WiiMAX or UBER-Wii or Wii360 at some point? Game cube had good graphics for its time, No?

... but I am still crying, and you would too if you look at the graphics of some of the new games on PS3... I'm sure the XBox360 titles are pretty sweet looking too.
