agreed, MH has poor history from nintendo, and nintendo people don't know what is it, sony people are too pouty to get a 3ds and play it... so yeah, i guess indeed an internal crysis! only "Monster Hunter-only-interested" players like us kinda know how good is the game... let's hope mh4 will solve this and struck mh-for-console as a nintendo exclusive (that imo did miracles... just listen at the sony-versions musics and nintendo-versions one to believe me!)

i think the missing monsters are because some monsters cover their role (Blangonga kinda outshadowed by Lagombi, Wroggi with Iodrome, which they wanted back) and some of them wasn't enough strong/popular (Lunastra / Chamaleos compared to Daora and Teostra... ;___; i liked both Lunastra and Chamaleon... i liked them infinitely more than Teostra)

Diablos was in 3rd gen. i think it's enough

maybe they just didn't plan desert monsters, then, no old gen desert monsters *easy*
