It would also become the first Vita hunting game to find its way overseas – XSEED picked it up for release in North America and noted that sales were off to a “strong start” in the region, before also localizing Ace in 2014 (suggesting it performed pretty well).

It seems the formula was a success, as although the game opened to 33k sales in Japan, it went on to shift more than 85k copies and spawned an expanded re-release ( Ragnarok Odyssey Ace) that sold a further 62k in Japan alongside an additional PS3 version a year later in 2013. The title followed the now-traditional formula of questing from a central hub but mixed in its own unique features such as a card system to increase statistics and improve abilities and different classes each with their own special skills. This was Ragnarok Odyssey from Gungho Online Entertainment, a spinoff from their popular MMORPG Ragnarok Online developed by Game Arts (of Grandia fame). Thankfully, Vita’s second hunting game was decidedly more successful. The lukewarm sales reflected the fact that the game just wasn’t that well received – it wasn’t the Monster Hunter experience people were after and the franchise died off soon after, unfortunately without ever reaching western shores.

Apocalypse boasted 249 improvements over Arcana and landed on both Vita and PSP in December of 2011 – alongside the launch of Sony’s new handheld, where it sold 28k.
The game was an expanded version of PSP’s Lord of Arcana and had you undertaking quests from a central guild then adventuring out into the world to kill monsters – sounds familiar right? The title mixed things up with combat that takes place in dedicated Tales-esque arenas quick time events in battles and a variety of magical spells and weapons to use. On Vita, a few of these initiatives continued and one even showed up at launch – Square Enix’s foray into the genre named Lord of Apocalypse. While PSP had been home to Monster Hunter itself, a sea of imitators from various publishers were also released to cash-in on the market – ranging from the hugely successful ( God Eater from Bandai-Namco) to the quickly forgotten ( Frontier Gate from Konami).

It’s these series I’m intending to examine in this article – what they are (including many that actually pre-dated Monster Hunter or appeared with it on PSP) how many entries Vita saw how well they sold and how well they provided a co-operative hunting experience.
With the audience still very much interested in buying a true next-gen successor on the Vita despite the hardware shift, other companies stepped in to attempt to plug the gap in the market leading to a large variety of imitator franchises on the Vita. The stage was all set for the franchise to make the jump to Sony’s new handheld in 2011, but in a surprise piece of news it was announced the series would be instead transitioning to Nintendo’s new 3DS handheld.

In Japan, one franchise injected a new life into the little handheld turning it from a decent seller into the must-have machine in the region – this was of course Monster Hunter.Ĭapcom’s co-operative action-adventure series was born on the PS2 but found a much better audience on the PSP, where local ad-hoc play became somewhat of a phenomenon in the region – each successive release sold better than the previous entry, culminating in in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd clearing nearly 5m copies. While the PSP definitely got off to a flying start in terms of sales thanks to the promise of console quality gaming on the go, things took a downturn in the following years due to a variety of factors including increasing competition from the DS & phones and a lack of quality exclusives.
