Capcom has now confirmed that in addition to Monster Hunter 3, it will be porting the PS2/PSP game ‘Monster Hunter G’ to Wii early next year. Famitsu magazine has revealed that the game is set for a Spring 2009 release in Japan and comes with two control schemes – the original from the PS2 or the revised PSP system. The game is currently at the 77% completion stage, will come with wide-screen support, six types of weapons and online content (although whether or not a fee will be required for this content is so far unknown).

Some small Monster Hunter 3 details were also revealed, with a new desert location unveiled, as well as a new rock monster. Apparently this is still only 40% complete, so chances are it may well be delayed to be a holiday 2009 game in Japan and perhaps this leaves room for a Monster Hunter 2G port as well during the Summer/Autumn period!

Do you think porting other Monster Hunter games to Wii is a good idea to build a userbase on the system? Or is it merely a cheap cash-in?
