In a somehow totally surprising move CAPCOM announced another iPhone/iPad related release of one of their major franchises. After Street Fighter and Megaman they have decided to finally bring Monster Hunter to the touches of your fingers.

Demo of Espinas on the iPad

Controls are done with swiping and pinching commands. The hammer pounds for example are simple taps followed by a swipe to the golfswing. There are no virtual joypads, item use will be done by tapping on the inventory.

They state that the whole MMO aspect of Frontier will be transported to the iPad. Support for the OpenFeint is included. It’s available for download in the App Store at the iPad launch date for $29.99, making it the highest priced title in the iPad store as of now.

Initative for buying an iPad? No more needed for me!
