But, although the successful franchise has
appeared on a handheld platform as well, having two titles, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories, released for the PlayStation Portable system, nobody ever expected Rockstar, the company that owns the rights to the IP (Intellectual Property), to announce the fact that it would bring the series to the Nintendo DS platform.
Monster Hunter first debuted
on PlayStation 2 back in 2004 and has since mostly
appeared on other Sony
platforms like the PS3, PS4, PSP, and PS Vita, with a handful
on other
platforms like the 3DS and Wii U and has since established a reputation for being a flagship title for
handheld platforms.
