In the US, Monster Hunter is one of Capcom's lesser series. In Japan, it's a juggernaut that can't be stopped. Microsoft landing a new Monster Hunter title as a presumed exclusive should be a huge boost to the company's Japanese fortunes, right? Maybe, maybe not. Monster Hunter Frontier is actually a port of a PC MMO from 2007, and from the trailer above it doesn't look like they've put any effort into improving the original graphics.

Playing the game will require the player to purchase a "Hunter Life Course Coupon" for 1,400 yen ($15), which will give them 30 days of access to the game as well as a one-month Xbox Live Gold subscription. I'm going to guess that this game won't be coming to the US, and that most of you really won't care.
