Famitsu reports that a whole throng of people showed up for the recent Monster Hunter Portable 2nd tournament held in Tokyo. If you look at the image above you'll also notice something. For those of you with testosterone, look, girl gamers (the one with the pony-tail and the mickey mouse bag) with PSPs!

Primal instincts aside, PSP Fanboy reports that the attendance for that tournament was around 6,500 people. A mighty impressive figure. Based on the images that were on the Famitsu, there was an art gallery, side games that offered prizes, and even a corner for the Monster Hunter card game. There was even a developer "Q and A corner" where 4 people from the production team answered questions from the fans in attendance.

Capcom notes that "Monster Hunter Fest" will continue and more tournaments will be held in Osaka, Sapporo, and Nagoya. The finals will be on the 10th of June, and will happen to Tokyo.

Yes, those who have their issues with the game (camera control, etc.) would say that if the game had infrastructure support, the need to meet up with other systems physically wouldn't be needed. However huge gatherings like this are not only fun, but also emphasize the popularity of the franchise, highlighting the user-base that the PSP has.

For more info on the event, feel free to head to the lengthy Famitsu report yourselves. Just run the "VIA" link below through an online translation engine of your choice (Google, Babelfish, etc...) and see for yourselves if you can survive the Engrish.
