I'm the same way unless in an almost pitch black room. Then anything is bright.
I don't like the games, but having them on Vita would do a lot for the platform in Japan, and right now it needs it.
You should know that its never going to happen especially after this
The best bet is God Eater being an exclusive
Not to be a dick - but let it go, there wont be a MH in the near future
I would put my money on GE 2 for Vita and even if MH was on Vita - a late port of a 3DS version wouldnt be the same as with the last Gen where you had to own a PSP for portable MH action.
I mean they are already promoting MH4.
Edit:
Beaten like Sansa :-/
What is that and what does it have to do with MH?
Thing is, at this rate western 3DS owners won't get MH till 2014, rumour is they will skip localizing 3G and go straight for 4, which, knowing Capcom will take a year after Japanese release in 2013...
Right now, for us in the West, the Vita has the best MH portable version in Freedom Unite.

Using the browser to surf your preferred websites should work too. If you find the screen too bright during normally lit room, then the screen would most certainly be too bright for you in a dark room.
That's true. At minimum brightness, all my cellphones are considerably darker than the Vita. I don't necessarily think it's a OLED thing. It may be OS/firmware programming.
My Vita memory card is pretty much filled up now and I'm starting to really dislike the way Sony handles save games for Vita games. There's no consitency to it (does my game save to the card or not?), there's seemingly no way to just backup the save games? Is there any hack out there that allows me to get the save games (and only the save games) off the device so I can put them on the device again at a later time?
At the end of the day, if Sony think that MH is absolutely what they need, they will find some way to make it happen. But as long as they think they have alternatives, they will save the money for other investments.
I should give MH for PSP a try to see what the hoopla is. ^_^

Just run the regular backup with the content manager. Saves are "inside" the games.
Ultimately though, if there isn't a MH on Vita by the time MH4 launches then there's no point in one even existing on the device. It will have been so well established on 3DS that a considerably better looking and controlling one won't do much of anything.
For what it's worth I think buying MH exclusivity would've been a better idea than funding failures like Star Hawk.
Hm, yeah. I know that. Though I remember the backup taking a very long time the last time I did it.
Nope ! You can only copy the entire game + its saves, or not at all. The PC/Mac/PS3 will ask if you want to overwrite the existing copy if you try to copy the same thing over.
Even for cartridges, it's safer to just backup all the game bubbles in case the file system got corrupted, you lose the cartridge or the Vita.
EDIT:
I find that the copy is faster on a PC/Mac. Let me know if it's true for you too.
They are hard to get into, but once you do it's like a small MMO with hugely addictive game-play, people put hundreds of hours into them which is rare in the mobile space.
Sadly they have never sold as well in the west and Capcom don't see it as a necessary market, if the consoles were region free and they just added language support we could import but that's not an option either...
I wouldn't say they never sold well in the west. Each successive iteration on PSP sold more than the last, and Tri sold very well on Wii. It's just a case of Capcom's expectations being no where near reality.

wow not being native res is really hurting uncharted. those birds in the sky look like blurry pixels. way below ps1 graphics i think. also some of the vegetation looks freaking terrible.
I doubt letting the game establish on 3DS now will stop it from going multi-platform in the future. Capcom will have to address the entire mobile market, including iOS/Android. They will bring their best work because it will become more and more competitive there.
On hindsight and a case-by-case matter, it may be true. But with a third party exclusive, it's always someone else's work, and Sony will have to depend on them forever. If it's an IP they own, they have an opportunity to groom their teams, and strengthen the IP. It boils down to how much money Capcom is asking for for keeping it exclusive.
IMHO, the bigger mistake is letting Demon's Souls go because that one should be cheap.
Even at late stage, I don't understand how their managers could not see DS's potential when they tested it. According to FROM, people played the game and thought it was simply not finished. @_@
EDIT: The other thing is *if* Sony wants to build up its studio capability, they will need to invest big time into game design in addition to day-to-day running of studios. Sony so far invested heavily in technologies and game workflows. But I think they may need more R&D in game designs.
I didn't, I said "as well", as you are correct in that Capcom seemed to think they should have sold close to Japan levels, which was never realistic.

Oh come on.
Native res would have been nice, obviously, but the game still looks great.
Didn't Starhawk come out during Max Payne 3 and diablo 3 kinda hard be successful between those two games.
Also wasn't it mention multiple times that we would see MHP3rdG

Why does capcom hate vita?
Where is resident evil revelations?
Why isn't ex troopers on vita? Why why why why why the fuk is that on 3ds/ps3 and not ps3/vita with cross play and transferring not? Why doesn't it atleast om vita?
Someone said something about a theoretical dragons dogma port ? Where is that at?
Why launch street fighter x tekken so late after the console port? Does it even have any new features ?
Someone said we were getting a port of monster hunter portable 3rd HD. Where is it?
I really can't stand capcom.

1. On 3DS?
2. Because it looks like it was Megaman Legends 3 at some point. And that was already 3DS.
Also this:
There are mobile based Monster Hunter games, and they're all very different from what you'd get on PSP, or 3DS. I expect that to continue lest Capcom wants to ruin selling 4 million units at $70.
This is true but sometimes you have to make a choice. Do you spend $30+ million on a new IP in a crowded genre for a platform that has tonnes of support, or do you drop a bit more to secure a series that would bring your userbase for a brand new platform to huge levels?
There is nothing stopping a Demon's Souls 2 from existing. SCE owns the IP, and it's just a question of whether or not SCEJ can find a suitable developer, or get From interested in making a sequel.
I don't know what you're talking about. Vita's success and failure all lies within Japan, a region which SCE has invested very little in.
Other than a Hong Kong magazine saying MHP3rd G was on the way for PSP, no. Let me add, this is the same magazine that said Dragon Quest IX was on its way to PSP at one point as well.
They don't.
On 3DS.
Because the 3DS is way more popular.
Did they? It barely runs on PS360, never going to happen.
Because they just launched UMvsC3. It will include all DLC for normal price.
On PS3, Capcom are not required to support random rumours.
I'm sure that disappoints them.

You can go wrong with hotshots if you only like single player.
HotShots has to be one the most punishing / frustrating games on the vita
Oh god yes but I keep running back to it. The daily tournys are awesome.
This doesn't really explain why it's on PS3, lol. I think EX Troopers being on PS3 is a bad idea. PS3 has a bigger userbase, and an already established Lost Planet fanbase so they're just doing a disservice to the 3DS SKU by putting out a PS3 version.
There were a series of pre-TGS rumors from a source. Only 2 of those never happened. One was a game that has likely been canceled (Bayonetta 2) and the other is MHP3rd HD for Vita.
There is no evidence Bayo 2 ever existed, Mikami has clearly not been working on it.
Why would Mikami ever work on a Bayonetta game? That's Kamiya's game.
Well, that was just me mistaking the two.
What I meant to say was, there's no evidence Bayo 2 ever existed, and now we know Kamiya has been working on P-100, it makes it far less likely there ever was a sequel to Bayonetta.
Do you believe P-100 has been in development for 3 years?

A question for people who use a screen protector:
Which is better the Hori screen protectors (they cover more and are cheaper) or the Sony official screen protectors (two-pack)? Both seem to get good reviews, so I'm wondering if anyone has any experience they want to share?

Do you believe P-100 has been in development for less than a year?
Bayo came out October '09 in Japan, notably less than three years from the reveal of P-100, yes, I think it's very possible that P-100 more or less started after Bayo.
If a vita with the ability to send/receive texts/calls I would have bought one instead of my 4s that I sold for my galaxy note.
You'll probably be fine with whichever one you choose. I've been using the official Sony one since launch and have had no issues. Application went on without a hitch and the protector is so clear that I forget that I even have it on there.
Though I love the game, this statement is so true. They probably could pare it down, but there also simply aren't enough buttons to make it work on the Vita in its current state (L3 for running, needs two sets of shoulder buttons, etc.). No amount of touchscreen or rearscreen functionality would properly substitute.
Don't forget to factor in how much time Kamiya spends tweeting.

I have only used the official one but I did not like it. I still have one of them leftover from the 2-pack though. It went on perfectly, so that's a plus. However, I found it had a very slightly bluish tint. Also, the touchscreen felt more resistant. It wasn't as slick and nice as it is naked. I'm back to using no protector.

I can't send you a PM, hoss, and I don't know if you'll see this. But if so... PM me, I'd love to get that code if it's still available.
Thanks.

It's also the only portable traditional MH game in the US.
I'd much rather see Dragon's Dogma or a portable skewed spin-off DD game appear on Vita.

They can, but when I try to send him a PM, it says he's not accepting them, so...
