Everyone wants a giant prop sword
ThisMonster Hunter RiseJapanese ad (which came out near the expansion’s launch, butwas recently spotted by Nintendo Life) from Capcom clocks in at under three minutes, but I’ve watched it multiple times now.
The debut tweet for theMonster Hunter RiseJapanese commercialis very succinct: this man sings, dances, and hunts! That’s all you need to know, as that’s a fairly good description of this lounge singer turnedMonster Hunterpeddler. Around a minute and a half in it gets wackier, with the man showing up in the game with crude effects: it’s the best part!
At this pointMonster Hunter Rise: Sunbreakhas been out for a few weeks, andit’s been going pretty well for Capcom. Given how long the legs are with modernMonster Huntergames, it seems likely thatSunbreakwill eventually arrive in the top 10 all-time seller list for the publisher.
I’m sure some exec somewhere is singing “VivaSunbreak!” in their offices.
