Monster Hunter 3 Wii Speak Possibility & No Fees for NA
According multiple reports that are quoting Capcom's senior American spokesperson, Chris Kramer, he mentioned to people at TGS that when Monster Hunter 3 hit shelves in North America it would not have fees as well as including it might see Wii Speak compatibility.
It's something that we're looking into at the moment and there are a few factors to consider. Firstly, Monster Hunter isn't as popular in the West, so it might put people off. Secondly, Japan doesn't have Friend Codes, so Capcom run all the servers and the monthly fee is essentially to pay for those costs.
These are reasonable suggestions as there is no cost to Capcom to run it's game online on the Wii (or VERY little). As for the comments about Wii Speak...
We're looking into right now whether it's technically possible or not. And so if it is, maybe we'll make an announcement. If it isn't, you know, if it realistically can't be done, then I'm sorry we may have to leave it out. But we're looking into it.
Obviously nothing is official yet about Wii Speak, but at least we know they're checking into it. Fans of Monster Hunter should be pleased!
