Confessing you like Monster Hunter in the West is akin to admitting you have a Justin Bieber poster in your bedroom. At least, until Monster Hunter Tri was released for the Wii. It's acceptance in the West, and the successful way the online multiplayer has been implemented onto the Wii, has made the series more of cult hit than a Japanophile embarrassment.
