    So, Sigma 2... that's still sixty bucks? And the outfits are four?

    Uh, I think I can swing that one.

    I'm calling it now: Any guys who come in here with that "I can't believe Team Ninja is so perverted" stuff is just trying to look "responsible" or something. These are hot.

    @VenomIreland: Well technically, you would probably have people complaining if the movie "District 9" were only released on VHS.

    Or if a new graphic card were only compatible with Pentium 3 PC's.

    Or if a shirt they really wanted to buy was only made in an "extra small" size.

    Or if a Blackberry they really wanted to buy only had a 16 color screen.

    Or if a game you were really excited to see in HD went to an SD system instead. Monster Hunter is all about the ginormous monsters and vast landscapes, something the PS360 simply pulls off better.

    But here's my question to you, do you think the game would be better on the PS360 or on the Wii?

    @VenomIreland: No, most people are arguing that it's a Playstation-centric series, with a Playstation-centric audience, an audience that most likely doesn't own a Wii.

    Releasing this on Wii effectively alienated their core audience, and they're already disappointed in the sales in Japan (they thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to alienate their audience...)

    Now they're probably going to kill the franchise if it doesn't do 'as projected', which it probably won't, since most of the people that want to play the third monster hunter don't own a Wii.

    And before you say "any good Monster Hunter fan will buy a Wii just for this game..." Don't forget that these are troubled times, some journalists call it a "recession" (not sure if you watch the news at all...) people don't have the money to go out and buy a Wii just for one fucking game.

    @Slagathorian: On the Wii, it will earn Capcom more money and further the series, also, I have a Wii, I have a money for the component cables for upscaling, I've lived most of my life with non-HD resolution, I can deal with this.

    If you need better Graphics, you're an idiot, besides, this game has the best graphics I've seen on the Wii,

    @out-phaze: Releasing it on any console will "alienate" their core audience, very few people played the original console versions.

    Another reason it's not doing so well, as you have noticed, most countries are in a depression or recession. It's also VERY different from the earlier versions of the game.

    Kill the franchise? Who are you kidding? Everyone who plays this game has told me they LOVE it! If anything, it'll make it more popular, but I doubt it will sell much more than the portable versions in Japan.

    @VenomIreland: Needing to justify your purchases huh? I also love your reasons: "it will earn Capcom more money and further the series"

    So you like games that earn more money for devs? What a stupid way to enjoy games. I myself have never found any enjoyment whatsoever in the amount of people besides me who have purchased the game. I find joy in myself playing the game.

    Also I take it you havn't seen the sales charts. The wii monster hunters are selling FAR less than the ones on Sony Platforms.

    And how does releasing a game on the wii instead of the PS360 "further a series"?

    I give you a big ????? for that statement alone.

    Also, why does wanting nice graphics make someone an idiot? How about wanting it on a system with a better draw distance? Or one with more processing power, one with more memory capacity, one with a more robust online system, one with a better friend setup, one with a hard drive, one with a controller more suited as a regular controller.

    @VenomIreland:

    More popular?

    Do you have /any/ fucking idea how niche games work and what keeps them going?

    And the core audience is Playstation owners, most of which do not own a Wii, and in a depression/recession, people don't have the money to up and buy a new console just so they can stick to one of their favourite series.

    You'd be blind to think otherwise.

    I still say you can't judge a game's true beauty from screenshots. We have to see stuff in action to go O_o at it. Those screenshots certainly are pretty, though. I am very, very much looking forward to this... so long as there's no subscription fee.

    It may be high definition... but something about it I don't like. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about it looks... worse... than the original version.

    Well, I don't care about graphics, anyways. If the new content proves worthwhile, I may buy it. I love No More Heroes... Now I wonder if I should get PS3 or 360...

    At first Kotaku reported this as a spin-off and I was a bit disappointed because I keep on hearing how great these games are, yet I know I would have difficulty getting into it if I don't start with the first one.

    Hearing it's a port of the original definitely makes me excited about it :D

    Achievements would be nice. It means I could just stop my bitter mode runthough right now and wait for this one to come out so I'd have something to show for 1000 + hits on that assclown Henry. I know the game well enough at this point to not bat an eyelash at anything they can throw at me, but I do wonder...

    - How they will reassign the attacking setup which previously had the Wiimote sensing high/low stance for physical attacks.

    - How they will rejigger the two different kinds of darkstep and the guard cancelling mechanic, most of which required Wiimote-nunchuk movement (and which most people weren't aware even existed!)

    - If minigames will just require button pressing. I mean, there's nothing quite like scooping up venomous scorpions with motion controls, right?

    I assume, however, that deathblows and grapples will be pulled off with analog stick directions. That seems logical. I'm interested in seeing how this plays out. The control scheme could make or break this release.

    I'll buy this just so I don't have to turn on my Wii to play it. Also, I'm not seeing any additionally scantness to the clad of the womens...which is fine by me, since I like the game for being stylish, not being full of whores.

    I think the Wii version to be the superior one (I think the game looked the way it did halfway on purpose, or it at least used that to its advantage) but if this means more people can experience the joy that is NMH, then I'm all for it.

    Looks a lot prettier. Guess I'll bite if it comes stateside. I mean... I already own it on the Wii, but an HD PS3 version with the extra "features" will be well worth the purchase... let's just hope the manual is redone into the style Japanese style of comic book instructions rather than the bland and boring Ubisoft textful manual released here. =/

    "Boobie-soft"? Sounds appropriate for the new cleavage mode.

    It seems that the cel-shading has been toned down in places just like in NMH2. In other shots, though, it looks the devs went overboard with it.

    Anyway, I sure hope that the issues with textures failing to load quick enough, gigantic bounding-boxes around vehicles and the framerate* are polished up in this version.

    * (Am I the only one who kinda likes when the framerate slows down during an especially frantic moment? It's as if the world is slowing down to marvel at my destructive capabilities.)

    @GohanGVO: They didn't "overdo" anything, it's just the lighting. The shadows in NMH are just stark and black, so when there's more contrast between lights and darks, it's more noticeable.

    It's not really cel-shading, exactly.
