We feel honored to receive such a wonderful award. The
creation of Monster Hunter Portable started under the
concept of making it easy for anyone to enjoy Monster
Hunter using the "online mode."
Recently, people from students to adults can be seen on
street corners and train cars enjoy games online. Every
time we see people playing portable games online, we realize
that our concept in developing this game was on the mark,
and we feel gratified.
The team, which is developing Monster Hunter Portable
2nd, is focusing on creating a game that will surpass
this one and provide the joy of play to you all. Expect
big things from the coming game.

In this action game, the hunts take place in a world with
an ecology of its own, a world that's populated by mighty
monsters. The players use various combinations of weapons
and armor in a series of quests. This version, which includes
most of the elements from Monster Hunter G, has additional
original elements, such as Ailu the cooking cats and Kokoto
Farm. The player can put the cats at Ailu Kitchen to work
cooking meals that alter the hunter's attributes. The
hunter can expand the farm and gather various ingredients
and items that are useful for increasing his or her abilities.
The game's "ad hoc mode" enables you to start new quests
with your friends. Other new features for the portable
game unit include web distribution of downloadable quests
via the PSP's "infrastructure mode."
