duckroll said: He is not the creator of Monster Hunter, nor the original producer. Tsuyoshi Tanaka was the producer of Monster Hunter PS2 and Monster Hunter Portable PSP. He left Capcom after that. Ryozo Tsujimoto was a planner who has been in Capcom since 1996, and mostly worked on smaller games. He was credited for leading the online technical parts of MHP. Suddenly when MHP explodes in popularity, he is made the series producer of Monster Hunter. Is this nepotism? You decide. Click to expand...

Its such a damned shame that Tanaka-san isnt around anymore as that guy was a fucking genius. He had the whole idea about wifi, hotspots and things like street pass already in his head and his desire to apply it to games way before. Was at an interview with him and the stuff he talked about was way ahead of its time. Its such a damned shame that he left the game industry for a while. Though I hear hes back in.
