Just yesterday, we finally got confirmation that Capcom will be releasing Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G for North America in the form of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. More Capcom loving pours forth today as we now also learn that Europe will be getting Unite just as well.

We also have confirmation of a release window: spring 2009 for both North America and Europe. This via Capcom's press release.

No jokes about it either: Capcom's series has such a huge following indeed. To date, Portable 2nd G's already sold 2.4 million units in Japan. And collectively, the entire series has already sold 7.8 million copies... worldwide.

So what can we expect from Unite? Well, for one, there's that new AI Felyne customizable companion - you can even share your in-game questing buddy to your other friends via "felyne casting". Another new feature is the media install which allows you to save the game to your memstick. Mmhmm, simultaneous loading from UMD + memstick = faster load times.

And with that, we leave you with the first batch of screens for the game. Set your eyes on the prize: we're going monster hunting early next year! Woot!

» same ***** as Papimeru Patch!

All this is nice, The same ***** as the MHP2nd G with other Language ported by Capcom, that Papimeru has done months ago!



I mean Nice Name presentation "Monster Hunter Freedom UNITE!"



WOW!



What about adding infrastructure game play?!



So people play without having to be 25 feet near you!



Yeah Xkink Kai works but is dam difficult to set up for PSP, is a ***** setting up that.



XBC works but nobody uses to play PSP, even if it for it.



So wouldn't be good have it in the game built right there?



Ohh! Too much cash! Server cost! Blah Blah!



Capcom better be adding something new in this game or it would be shared like lots of others games with P.U.S.S.4.Y. Method (PSP UMD Sharing System 4 Yall)



There's always some morons that buy the same thing just because its new!?



O well I hope this game be a better thing than I expected

» You do know Papimeru Patch was fan done right?

Its pretty obvious that Capcom will release the official version, so go support the official version. And since its only a translation, there wouldn't be any new features.



If you want infrastructure gameplay, just wait for that PS3 Monster Hunter to release. Didn't that allow players to play online? (like Xlink Kai)

Um, PS3 Monster Hunter? I thought the Wii was getting it...

» PS3 Monster Hunter

I think Sythun means Ad Hoc Party. It'll let you use your PS3 to play ad-hoc only PSP games online. Kinda like Xlink Kai. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G will be the first game to support it.
