It’s been a little while since we looked into Monhan Nikki: Pokapoka Airu-mura, the PSP title that takes the world of Monster Hunter and makes a cutesy Animal Crossing-ish game out of it. The game’s almost done, as it turns out — it’s coming out August 26 in Japan for 3990 yen, and Capcom’s been holding pre-release demo events all over Japan to celebrate.
“There were a lot of women and families trying the game at the demo booths,” producer Tatsuya Kitabayashi told Famitsu magazine this week, “which I think is nice because it leads me to believe that it’s not just fans of the series trying this out.”
“Especially during the quests, you had people go ‘Awww’ when their Felynes all got bowled over by a Bullfango and so on,” added assistant producer Shintaro Kojima. “All the little actions and animations that go on in here are really exciting them.”
