Yes, because Monster Hunter G on the Wii is an online game, and because itās going to be insanely popular, Capcom will be charging Japanese users (like they have for other, non-PSP versions of the game) for the privilege. $8 will get them 30 days of play, $15 will get āem 60 and $20 will buy 90 days.
Before you get all uppity about Capcom/Nintendo/the Wii, remember, this is Japan and Monster Hunter weāre talking about. Doesnāt matter that itās on the Wii. They could have asked for first-born sons for 90 days of play and people would pay.
