The Monster Hunter Arcade Game That Never Left Japan
(N4G PC)

Monster Hunter World is CAPCOMs best selling game of all time. After 14 years of attempting to convince the western market that battering huge Chickens with massive swords on the bus is fun, CAPCOM finally managed to create an instalment in the long running franchise that resonated with a worldwide audience. In Japan, however, Monster Hunter has been nothing short of a 15 year long national phenomenon. Since 2004, Monster Hunter has sold millions of copies every single year, quickly becoming CAPCOMs second biggest franchise after Resident Evil.

Monster Hunter Diary: Puri Puri Poogie Race (or Poogie Race) is an arcade game based on the Monster Hunter franchise. You play as a Felyne riding on the back of a Poogie, competing in a number of Mario Kart style races against your competitors. The twist? The way you play is unique, to say the least...
