Monster Hunter Bosses Coming to MGS: Peace Walker

April 7, 2010 11:40 AM

In typical Hideo Kojima fashion, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will feature a crossover with another popular franchise: Capcom's Monster Hunter. The content was announced at a press event in Japan and the following trailer was shown:

1up confirmed that the Monster Hunter content will be coming to the US and European versions of Peace Walker.

While Monster Hunter is a phenominon in Japan, it hasn't quite hit the level of success Capcom desires in the US or Europe. Monster Hunter Tri (Wii) will be the best attempt at bringing Monster Hunter to a larger audience and the inclusion of content in Peace Walker should help when it is released on June 8 in the US.

Conversely, the Monster Hunter content should help sell Peace Walker in Japan.

  It was, but I thought it was kind of cool. I mean, usually there's nothing that can take an end of the game Solid Snake firepower except a Metal Gear... and they actually managed to find something that's reasonably on par.
