The Monster Hunter franchise has long been on Nintendo consoles so it was quite a pleasant surprise to learn it was getting a new game on the PS4.  Playing the games on Nintendo consoles was fun but they were visually lacking thanks to the underpowered hardware.  Now we have Monster Hunter World that has thrown out the comicy look Capcom...

Today was a break day for us.  Originally I never planned any rest days but my friend didn't want to travel to places every single day in case it was too much of a tow so, we did our separate things today.  Was probably a good idea since holidays was about relaxing and visiting places by the clock can be quite stressful.  All that rushing around...

Now that Monster Hunter Tri has been out for the Wii long enough to reach the West, Capcom reveals the third PSP game will be coming out sometime towards the end of this year 2010.  It looks as if it won't be simply a port of the Wii version either... Seems Capcom's Group CEO, Kazuo Hirai's 16 year old son is quite a fan of the game too and has been...

The "Cha Cha Honey Toast" in the corner looks delicious!  One of the stores in Akihabara has even...

Now this is the format Makoto Shinkai's "Sora no Kioku" artbook should be in but I guess he had no say in its layout.  In commemoration of Capcom's Monster Hunter series' 5th anniversary, a 310 page "Monster Hunter CG Artworks" book containing over 1700 pieces of CG from every title in the series so far, went on sale yesterday.  This...

The Japanese have to make a card game out of almost everything don't they?  Released October 2008, the "Monster Hunter Hunting Card" game is fairly simple to play revolving around hit points much like Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon.  Players can use up to four of their Hunter Cards to battle it out with a Target Monster Card and if the total of their...

Been a while since I posted the last MoeHan figure and it looks like Kanshi Toona-sensei's been busy sculpting up another one.  Just as I had guessed, one of them is done with the Kirin armour set from Monster Hunter.  Moe, eh?  Head on over to his site RyunRyunTei for more photos of the figure....

I remember how I bought the first Monster Hunter game for the PSP and almost gave up after spending an hour on it because I didn't like the controls one bit.  The weapons were hard to use, there was no lock on, the monsters you fought can kill you in one hit and the camera had to be adjusted manually.  It was a good few months before I came back to...
