Nintendo did make a statement about Monster Hunter 3G, but that last AWC is completely misinformed.

Nintendo was talking to their investors. Japanese investors feel secure about Nintendo's position with teenagers and young adults in Japan because of Monster Hunter 3G. In America, the 3DS doesn't have a title with the sort of popularity that Monster Hunter has in Japan.

When they said they didn't need a Monster Hunter in America, they weren't referring to 3G at all. They were just referring to a title that's popular with young adults and teenagers, Call of Duty or anything along those lines. Monster Hunter doesn't have that sort of popularity in America, so it doesn't fit the bill.

The logic about the title being unnecessary had to do with the popularity of Mario in Japan. 3D Mario isn't as popular with that demographic in Japan as it is in America. They expected the American sales of Mario 3D Land to be better.

I read through that entire statement. Don't spread misinformation.
