A new rumor is indicating that Capcom’s huge Monster Hunter franchise is returning to its spiritual home when previously Wii-exclusive Monster Hunter Tri comes to the PSP.
The gossip is being spread by Hong Kong magazine Gamewave. The mag says that Monster Hunter Tri Portable is currently being developed and is due for release by the end of the year. Gamewave has a good track record with its PSP stories, although some of its other rumors have been sketchy.
Until this is officially announced, it’s nothing but speculation, but it would be pretty big news if it turns out to be true. Quite sad that a home console can share a near-identical game with a portable system, but that’s the Wii for you.

[Update: Capcom has categorically denied this rumor, claiming it is “not even close” to the current plans.]
