Four-Player Online Co-Op, 2-Player Split-Screen and New Underwater Environments Introduced When Japanese Phenomenon Comes To North American and European Markets in 2010
SAN MATEO, Calif. — August 3, 2009 — Capcom® Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that Monster Hunter™ Tri will be released in both North America and Europe for Nintendo’s Wii™ system in early 2010.

Monster Hunter Tri will set a new bar in the action/adventure genre with the introduction of new features and game play elements as the multi-million unit selling franchise makes its debut on the Wii system.

One of the most strikingly beautiful titles ever developed for Wii, Monster Hunter Tri depicts a living, breathing ecosystem where man co-exists with fantastic beasts that roam both the land and the sea. Featuring both online and offline cooperative modes, players can join online hunting parties with up to four players or play with two players on a single TV for select quests. Players also have the option to face Monster Hunter Tri’s challenging quests as a single player experience accompanied by Cha-Cha, an AI hunting partner whose tracking and trapping skills will prove invaluable in the hunt. New items, weapons and armor sets will also be available to assist the hunters as they embark on the most incredible Monster Hunter adventure to date.

“Fans of Nintendo and Monster Hunter are eagerly anticipating the launch of this title in the US, which will be the first time the series is available on a Nintendo home console,” said Steve Singer, Nintendo of America’s Vice President of Licensing. “Having Capcom bring Monster Hunter Tri to the Wii console provides tremendous action, fun and entertainment to both veteran players and series newcomers alike.”

Visitors to this month’s GamesCom European gaming convention in Cologne, Germany August 19-23, will be the first to sample a localized version of the title on Capcom’s stand as it makes its English debut for a western audience. GamesCom attendees will have the opportunity to play the same game that took last year’s Tokyo Game Show by storm, with lines that stretched around Capcom’s stand as eager Japanese gamers waited in excess of five hours to play.

This desire to be one of the first to experience Monster Hunter Tri is indicative of the impact the Monster Hunter franchise has made on videogame culture in Japan. With sales of the series totaling well over 10 million units and 3.5 million sales of Monster Hunter Portable™ 2ndG alone, it’s no surprise to find that Monster Hunter has given rise to dedicated “training camps”, country-wide festivals and numerous licensed products. The franchise doesn’t just top the charts in Japan; it’s become a social phenomenon.

More information on Monster Hunter Tri will be revealed in the upcoming months. In the meantime, please visit the official Capcom press site at http://press.capcom.com

Is there any way that 2010 isn't going to wind up as the best year gaming's ever had?

It's the same trailer that I linked to on the Capcom site back on the 31st.
But here is a youtube version anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_WhWYe_t7s

Capcom really needs to start handing out the OT and get some people on this translation to bump the release up to late Nov. 2009. As it stands right now 2010 is way too crowded for Wii & 360 releases (not sure about PS3) but once again (2yrs in a row) the holiday season is looking very sparse. There is a lot of sales potential being missed by release date delays.

Holiday 2009 should be dedicated to 3rd parties that haven't released on-rails shooters.

I ordered one of those classic controller pros. Can't wait for this game!

Stratos · « **Reply #110 on:** August 03, 2009, 09:08:25 PM »

Game has reportedly broke the Million mark in Japan. Nice to hear.

I'm debating picking up a Pro, but I'll hold out until the game gets closer. We may see one arrive here when the game comes.

BwrJim! · « **Reply #111 on:** August 03, 2009, 10:29:13 PM »

Where did you hear that? Someone is saying that it's over 100% sell out?
I thought it only shipped 1 million 1st week.

It's one of the cover stories on IGN

Apparently it is the first console MH game to top a million like that.

I'll let you go ahead and edit your post to correct yourself....

*checks watch*

no need for me to copy/paste from another thread

I seem to recall someone here doubting the game would sell well because it was console based. I'll have to dig that up!

Since no one reads talk back, I guess I will go ahead and copy/paste

Reading Comprehension 101

Quote from: IGN link that Stratos posted
Monster Hunter 3 isn't even out yet, and it's already breaking records. Capcom announced today that the upcoming Wii blockbuster has shipped a full million units ahead of its release this Saturday. The company said that this makes it the first third party Wii game to ship a million units in Japan.

I continue to wait for actual SOLD numbers.

Quote from: Stratos on August 03, 2009, 11:37:15 PM

LOL, my bad. I mad an assumption. And you know what happens when you assume: You make an ass out of u and me.

Thanks for the correction, BnM.

We probably won't see any sales #'s till wednesday when the rest of the info comes out. We might get lucky and find on tomorrow though.

Stratos · « **Reply #117 on:** August 04, 2009, 01:30:38 AM »

Yeah, I totally blew it on that one. I guess I got so excited when I saw the article title that I completely didn't comprehend the word ;shipped' properly. I read what I wanted to see and rolled with it.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #118 on:** August 04, 2009, 01:42:39 AM »

I'm not really trying to call you out, but I just want to make sure we all keep out facts straight around here. We had this same thing going on with the Sega financial report, and NWR Forums is not about spread the FUD.... thats what the Funhouse is for.

Stratos · « **Reply #119 on:** August 04, 2009, 01:45:23 AM »

I don't mind that you did. I appreciate that you did. I was wrong and needed to be corrected.

I don't want Lindy to accuse me of being a FUDing person.

BwrJim! · « **Reply #120 on:** August 04, 2009, 01:51:30 PM »

ahhh your so sweet. anyone got a camera?

NWR is only about spreading 100% irrefutable numbers from NPD.

SaleBot is only allowed to stay because he attracts the ladies so long as he doesn't break his parole.
