Monster Hunter G is finally coming to Japanese Wiis this April 23rd, and no doubt it will sell a billion copies due to the country’s obsession with the Monster Hunter series. For 3,990 yen, you score the game plus a demo for Monster Hunter 3 tri and a promotional game card.
If you want to spend just a tad more, you can shell out your 5,240 yen and get a special edition of the Wii classic controller in blue with the game logo on it.It’s not bad looking, but the appeal of the Monster Hunter series still goes over my head — I played the two PSP games, and while they were far from poor, I didn’t feel the intense addiction that thousands of other gamers obviously do. On the other hand, getting addicted to buying the toys from the series is a no-brainer.
It has also been confirmed that the game will require Wii points to play online, but there is no set price yet. We’ll probably hear more details on that very soon.
If you’re into Monster Hunter, can you help me to understand the addiction?
