Monster Hunter slays Japan's sales charts
We knew Monster Hunter Portable 2nd was a big seller, but now the official numbers are out. The weekly sales report from Mainichi Interactive states that Capcom has blown away sales expectations by selling 700,000 units in its first week. This easily puts Monster Hunter Portable 2nd one of the best selling PSP games yet in Japan. PSP hardware also sold quite well in the same time, coming in at number 3 in the hardware sales charts. Let's hope this news means more Capcom content on Sony's portable. [Via IGN ]
Downloadable quests hit Monster Hunter 2 in Japan
Yesterday in Japan, Monster Hunter fans were able to go to their local game stores and download new quests from the demo kiosk's "PlayStation Spot". In addition to quests and more, PSP owners who don't own Monster Hunter Portable 2nd can download a demo of the game. With reports of Monster Hunter 2 coming outside of Japan, let's hope this additional content is either included in the version we get, or that we can similarly download the content. I personally dig the idea of downloadable content on the PSP and I hope more games start to feature it. Does downloadable content appeal to you as well? [Via Game Watch]
PSP Fanart Fridays: Monster Hunter
Do you want to share your PSP-related fan art? Send an e-mail to andrew @ pspfanboy.com with the subject line "Fanart Fridays." A new piece of fanart will be shared every Friday. I Am 8-bit is a wonderful art exhibit, but it doesn't update every week. We do though, every Friday we showcase a different artist (with their permission) that has PSP related fan art. And this week is no exception. This week's art comes from Roberto Luiz. He's a huge fan of Monster Hunter (along with all of Japan) and really captured the brutal intensity of battle. He's not exaggerating with the image either, those monsters really do dwarf you in size. Digital artist Roberto is so much of a fan of the game, that this isn't his only Monster Hunter fan art image. And yes, he already has one for Monster Hunter 2. If you'd like to see more art from Roberto, check out his deviant art account. Thanks for sending us fan art Roberto. Let Roberto know what you think of his great art work and e-mail us your PSP related fan art. And come back next Friday for another dose of bad-ass art. %Gallery-3450%
