“I feel Monster Hunter can definitely succeed overseas,” said Inafune in a recent interview with Famitsu.com. “There’s a high possibility that MHF will kickstart that.”

The Monster Hunter series, while immensely popular in Japan, has yet to make a significant impact on the overseas market. Monster Hunter Frontier Online‘s Xbox 360 exclusivity may help alleviate that if it does end up localized.
