Monster Hunter 3 producer Ryozo Tsujimoto and director Kaname Fujioka recently talked to Weekly Famitsu about the differences between the Wii game and the rest of the series. Read all about it in the full article.

You've seen hunters taking down monsters in the Monster Hunter 3 footage posted earlier. Today we also got some info on the weapon types that will be available to every aspiring hunter looking to take down the beasties that populate the game.

From the highways and biways of YouTube comes a ten-minute footage for the latest MH title, Monster Hunter 3. This vid takes us right from the top menu, character selection, then straight into action, with loading screens in between. Check it out.

For over a year now, it's been the same old story in Famitsu's Most Wanted list: Japanese gamers who took part in their polls voted Final Fantasy XIII as the most anticipated title. It's claimed the throne for over twelve months already, but that's changed now. What are Japanese gamers looking forward to the most these days? Dragon Quest IX for the DS. Yeah, leave it to the Japanese gamers to replace an RPG with another RPG - another Square Enix RPG, for that matter - on their most wanted list.

There's been apparently some talks earlier pointing to a Monster Hunter 3 port for consoles other than the Wii. But looks like that's been nipped right in the bud even before it could build momentum.

According to a Capcom spokesperson, their upcoming Monster Hunter 3 may be getting some platform releases on other consoles too. In an interview with a Chinese magazine, the Capcom rep mentioned that "the decision of Monster Hunter 3's Wii-exclusivity is not yet final." Which makes the PS3 a likely candidate. More so, we could also end up with another portable Monster Hunter game too, once MH3 gets released.

What do you think are the titles that will create the most splash at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show? Enterbrain president Hamamura gives off his own list, and we'd have to agree with notes.

So what do Japanese gamers these days want to get their hands on the most? The latest list of most wanted games from Famitsu reveals a heavy leaning towards RPGs (mostly from Square Enix - no surprise there), with a healthy dose of other games from different genres, publishers, and platforms. See the Top 15 Famitsu Most Wanted list in the full article.

Heads up, eager fans of the upcoming Monster Hunter 3 for the Wii. Capcom's Christian Svensson has just been able to post something that's both definite and yet still indefinite. This is regarding the game's release. Curious to know what he posted? Scoot on over the full article to find out.

After learning about Monster Hunter 3's surprising platform switch from Sony's PlayStation 3 to the Nintendo Wii due to the PS3's high production costs, folks from Capcom wanted to send their apologies to the people who bought Sony's next-gen console with the anticipation of getting Monster Hunter 3.

However, there's still hope for Sony's console in getting a Monster Hunter game, according to Japanese gaming publication Famitsu. Capcom's publicist told the gaming magazine that they have a multiplatform strategy for the Monster Hunter franchise, so there is still a possibility of it coming to the PS3, albeit just a faint one.

And how about a numbered Monster Hunter title for the PSP? While Capcom didn't answer that question directly, they did say that the PSP is very important for the franchise. We do hope that it can be taken as a "yes".

More updates as they come!
