Monster Hunter Tri and 4 could have been released for non-Nintendo consoles
When the Monster Hunter series jumped from Sony consoles to Nintendo hardware, a lot of fans were disappointed. To rub salt into the wounds of Sony fans even more, Monster Hunter Tri was originally going to be developed for the PS3, bringing the series back to Sony platforms. However, it jumped ship and stuck with Nintendo. In the same Did You Know Gaming video from earlier, it’s noted that the reason why Capcom switched over to the Nintendo Wii was because they were interested in the unique features of the new console.
A similar thing happened with Monster Hunter 4 and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, as Capcom had considered developing the games for the PS3 and the Xbox 360. Capcom decided against this, though, as they were interested in the Nintendo 3DS’ dual screens as well as its 3D capabilities and they didn’t want to split the resources.
