Monster Hunter Freedom - Image 1After Monster Hunter Portable 2nd was released - and hit sales of 700,000 on the first week, Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter Freedom 2 will be released in September 2007... In PAL regions.

PAL would normally mean UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand. PAL, by the way refers to the region format - and it's devastating to know that North America is NTSC. It looks like Capcom did take its massive sales on the first week as a signal to ship global. The sad thing is, there hasn't been any announcements regarding a North American release.

Monster Hunter Freedom 2 will share all the goodness of the original Monster Hunter Freedom but with 50% more content. Anyway, let's keep our fingers crossed for a NA release date. Stay tuned.

We knew that we are going to get this game for PAL only.
Cos of the past, many JRPGs came PAL but never out in USA.

Well, USA fault that they don't buy japan games as all unless if there is a gore effect like Resident Evil, DMC etc...

Typical USA, cannot wait North Korea nuke them.

So many incorrect things in the article, there exist no such thing as PAL and NTSC with PSP. These are television formats which are dissapearing with the new HDTV formats. Correct would be EU and NA.....

ouch!

PSP do using PAL and NTSC because both have different screen, I think PAL is using Sharp's screen which it is different to USA version.
Difference between the US, HK and JAPANESE PSP:

The US or HK one is being made with a less expensive screen by Samsung. The Japanese one is made by Sharp which gives better quality + crisper images.

Japanese Sony PSP is Region 2, which is same as UK, or Europe Country, therefore it's more likely use same screen as well.

 » U R THE BIGGEST NOOB EVER

If you have a US psp you CAN play EUR psp games! If u have a ntsc ps2 with ntsc tv, you CANT play PAL games,you have to patch them. Psp may have diferent screens,but it just the brand and image quality.Doesn't mean one screen has more lines than the other,like on tvs. For example ,NTSC is typically broadcast at 525 lines while PAL is typically 625. Dont confuse tv with psp screens. It's like saying a european pc monitor is PAL and US pc monitor is NTSC,so I cant use an european monitor on my pc, LOL NOOB.

I've already been playing the Japanese iso of MHP2. I was going to buy the UMD when it was released for America, but with this news it looks like Capcom's not getting my 40 bucks :(

I was sooooo looking forward to pre-ordering this.

 » Took their bloody time!!!

Thank God! Capcom are releasing an english version of the game!! I don't know why they took so long in issuing the release date, 'cos we all know its gonna do well. For the US gamers out there, just wait and see. Sometime they release games in the UK before the US because we are apparently more welcoming towards games (most likely 'cos we're happy to get anything!!). We all know MHF, although seemingly popular, didn't do anywhere near as well out in the west. Just sit back...

Capcom plans to release this game as Monster Hunter Freedom 2 in North America in September 2007.


   by JaxXx (Unregistered) - 2007-02-28
 » lol; Looks like QJ slipped up!

Yup, its true. Capcom are releasing this to Europe and the US in September. I kinda forgot that they did something similar with the original (released within a few days of each other in Europe and North America).

It means more of us can enjoy taking on big-ass wyverns with oversized Great Swords made from the remains of your last kill :). I wonder if they've introduced any more annoying wyverns (Kut-Ku, Gypceros and Khezu are pretty annoying).
