Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (モンスターハンターポータブル3rd) is the working title of the next Monster Hunter game on the PSP. It's a new game so you won't be able to import your savegame from old games onto it. The game was 50% complete at the time of announcement.

  • It is set to be released in Japan on 1st of December.
  • The English version of the game will most likely be released 8 months after the Japanese version i.e. in August 2011. This is just a vague estimation and need not be true. There has been no statement on behalf of Capcom.

Box Packaging
BobofangoAdded by Bobofango

A limited edition PSP, dubbed the "Hunters PSP", has been announced at TGS 2010. Set for release at December 1st.
Price: ¥19800 (~$240 US)
Colour: Black+Golden
Model: PSP-3000 MHB Full set include: PSP-3000 MHB, Battery pack 3.6v 2200mAH, AC Adapter (does not include the actual game)
It is confirmed, that Sony/Capcom will not release the PSP in America or Europe [PROOF: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-09-17-redesigned-monster-hunter-psp-not-for-eu ]
Special Features

  • MHP3rd Custom Theme (also on sale for ¥100 at Japanese PSN).
  • Special design joystick (flat center).
  • Using battery pack 3.6v 2200mAH allows longer gaming time.
  • Design with thick battery cover (back-two sides) allows easy and comfortable holding.
  • Jinouga-Head Symbol on both back-sides.
  • A Yukumo Village symbol under the control button.
  • Two speaker design like a felyne paw.

Areas

  • Areas from Monster Hunter 3: Deserted Island, Sandy Plains, Tundra, Flooded Forest, and Volcano.
  • MH3 areas will have some changes.
  • Unlike MH3, the gathering points will be at fixed points rather than a random spawn.
  • There will be no underwater areas. The underwater areas of MH3 will be dried up so hunters can still have access to them.
  • A new map called the Mountain Stream (渓流).

Map Changes

  • Deserted Island: Underwater Areas removed (12, 11, half of 10). Base Camp looks completely different and now goes to Area 1. Area 8 is accessible from Area 10 (by climbing). All of Area 4 is shown.
  • Flooded Forest: Underwater areas still present, but they all appear to have dried out. The path from Area 4 to 6 isn't one-way anymore, and there is now a path between Areas 3 and 8 (seemingly the one used by monsters in MH Tri). There also appears to be three spots (pillars) in Area 8.
  • Sandy Plains: The path from Area 11 to Area 7 isn't one-way anymore.
  • Tundra: The path from Area 3 to Area 5 isn't one-way anymore. If the path used by Deviljho in Monster Hunter 3 is opened up then Area 8 and Area 9 will appear on the map. Also, Areas 4 and 5 are bright enough to not require Torches.
  • Volcano: Seemingly no changes.

Some areas also appear to be smaller or larger compared to the others, but it may be due to the fact that the maps were a little compressed to fit the PSP screen. Also, it is unknown whether the shortcuts from the base camps in Deserted Island, Flooded Forest, and Sandy Plains will remain, as two of the shortcuts are accessed by swimming.

  • The chief of this village is a younger woman descendant of the Dragon Tribe (Wyverian).
  • A unisex spa facility in the gathering hall replaces the Felyne Kitchen for pre-quest status boosts. Status boosts are preformed by using action commands. The switch from Armor to bathing clothes is seamless and requires no loading screen. More than one player can use the spa facility at the same time. Felyne Comrades will also be allowed to bath with you. Actions in the hot spring include Sitting Down, Back Float, Placing Toys, Holding Breath Underwater, Overhead Clap, Playful Splash, etc.
  • A large farm with new features (unspecified).

Farm

  • It is named as "Yukumo Farm".

  • There will be a new feature in the farm that will let you cook many steaks at once.

Bow

  • 12 weapons in total, including the Switch Axe from Monster Hunter 3.
    • Great Sword, Long Sword, Sword & Shield, Dual Swords, Hammer, Hunting Horn, Lance, Gunlance, Switch Axe, Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun, Bow.
  • No Bowgun customization. It is back to the Light and Heavy Bowguns only.
  • New attacks for most old weapons; Greatsword and Lance remain unchanged from Monster Hunter 3.
  • Gun Lance has changed significantly adding new attacks as seen in the trailer. The featured new attack where the hunter cocks the Gunlance, slashes downwards and fires seems to use up all the currently loaded shells at once, as in the trailer there are 3 simultaneously explosions in the attack.
  • When using the Switch Axe, you can now chain the infinite side swings to the overhead attack.
  • When using Heavy Bowgun, you can now kneel down and then choose from specific ammo-types in your inventory. You can fire some of them without reloading, other have a much larger capacity. However, you are unable to move in that position.
  • The Bow will gain a new, bluish bottle. It will probably have the stamina reducing effect as the color is similar to the Bowgun Bullet having this effect. [Proof]
  • Only nine of these twelve weapons are featured in the demo version; Gunlance, Hunting Horn and Bow are not available.

Armors

Felyne Comrades

  • Felyne Comrades return, along with new features similiar to ChaCha (MH3). Up to two Felyne Comrades can be taken into a quest at the same time to better simulate multiplayer.
  • Felyne armors can be customized in two parts: Helmet and Torso. They are seen wearing the armor of Rathalos, Rathian, Jaggi, Urukususu, Ludroth, Aoashira, Zuwaroposu, Qurupeco, Barroth and Uragaan in the trailer and screenshots.
  • Felyne weapons can either be Slash or Impact damage. Weapons can also be customized.
  • The creation of Felyne equipment will use monster parts, but will utilize a different system than previously seen before.
  • A health bar has been given to the Felyne Comrades. This bar is placed under its name, same as the health bar when in multiplayer.
  • Felyne comrades can now utilise Boomerangs and Bounce Bombs (see trailer).
  • New trailer shows two hunters fighting with two Felynes.
  • 1 Felyne for each hunter can be brought along in online quests. Only 2 hunters can bring a felyne into online quests.
  • Felyne data from Monster Hunter Diary: Felyne Village can be imported into MHP3rd and will also unlock a special armor.

  • There will be less content than Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, but more quests than MHF2.

  • Players will be able to name their characters in Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji, which previous games did not allow.
  • Improved communication system in multiplayer (unspecified; probably Voice Chat as there is some suspicious Icon in the demo).
  • 4 player Ad-hoc Multiplayer is confirmed.
  • Currently, there is no infrastructure for online multiplayer. Current information about infrastructure only pertains to downloaded quests. Any information stating otherwise (other than Capcom) is just hearsay or unconfirmed rumors.

  • The game will be sold at a price of 5800 Yen.
  • There will be a playable demo of MHP3 on the "Tokyo games show" (Sept.16 for Press, Sept.18 for public) with 3 Quests.

    • Hard Difficulty: Black Tigrex in the Volcano.
  • The TGS demo will also feature 2 "Felyne Comrades" for solo play, and a choice between all 12 available weapons.
  • A public demo will be available in October as a download from the Japanese PSN, although it will require a product code only MonHan Club (モンハン部) members will have access to. It will feature Royal Ludroth in the Deserted Island and Barroth Subspecies in the Tundra. http://www.capcom.co.jp/monsterhunter/P3rd/trial.html
  • There will also be "Drink" and "Hot Spring" Quests received from a Felyne. Fulfilling those Quests will expand the variety of drinks you can take in the Hot Spring / expand the Hot Spring.
  • Hirokazu Hamamura, CEO of Famitsu Publisher Enterbrain, estimated the count of sold copies to be above 5.000.000 which would make the game more popular than Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G.
