Monster Hunter Roars Onto Wii In Japan, People Buy It

By Alex Johnson | October 12, 2025

Capcom’s Monster Hunter franchise does big business on the PSP in Japan. Bring that franchise to the Wii, Japan’s bestselling U31 Gaming console, and you’re guaranteed massive success. Right? Well, maybe it’s too early to tell.

While the most recent PSP version, Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G was an instant success when it launched in early 2007, selling more than 700,000 copies in its first week, the Wii release was… more moderately successful. Monster Hunter G moved 132,000 copies during week one, สล็อต according to Japanese sales tracker Media Create. Good, but not PSP good, leading me to believe we’ll see the Japanese word for “evergreen” uttered from someone’s lips in the coming weeks.
