"The Nintendo 3DS is getting a port of Monster Hunter Tri, titled Monster Hunter 3G, later this year. That's big news. But Capcom is planning more for Nintendo's portable. It's bringing Monster Hunter 4, the next major installment for the franchise, to the system."
""The entire game has 3D support, but basically it's not a game designed to rely on 3D. You can hunt all you want without having to concern yourself about 3D, so you've got the option to play the way you like there. However, the new portside area we've made for the game was created with an eye for 3D visuals -- giving it more depth, placing objects on top of each other, and other concepts to make the 3D more prevalent. It's been a fun development cycle, but working with 3D has also given us a ..."
With the release of a scan, Monster Hunter Tri G has been confirmed to be arriving on the 3DS. Although the game has been confirmed there still remains several unannounced features that were rumored alongside the game, such as keeping water elements from Monster Hunter Tri on the Nintendo Wii, as well as featuring local wireless play.
Capcom has updated their best-selling franchises list with the latest sales figures for Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Mega Man, Monster Hunter and more.
Capcom has revealed the first quarter sales results for there three high-profile releases of the past three months: Lost Planet 2, Super Street Fighter IV and Monster Hunter Tri.
"Third week in a row of thin releases. The big release this week is Monster Hunter Tri for the Nintendo Wii. The demo has been out for a while but now it is time to give the full game a spin with its four-player split-screen and free online multiplayer."
"Players will be able to set up quests and join each other in the hunt online with just a few simple steps. If you meet a friend or someone you wish to hunt with, you can simply add them to your friend roster, following their mutual agreement. This makes them easy to find in the future, where a double click will take you straight to their quest if they are online."
"The official Monster Hunter Tri~ website originally launched back in December 2009, displaying a screen-filling reinforced wooden door and much disparagement to those who persisted in knocking. In early January 2010 the site was updated with all new screenshots, videos and a brief synopsis of the game. And now, the full launch has arrived, and has a fair few surprises in store for the Monster Hunter fan."
"Monster Hunter Tri~ is an action game with a difference. Your adventure is built interacting with and battling the scores of incredible beasts that inhabit your world - a living, breathing ecosystem. The monsters’ behaviour is modelled on real animals with territorial displays designed to keep you away if you get too close, migrations and a realistic food chain that sees the strong prey on the weak. This is a world where the monsters deserve your respect... and where the hunt is not for enter..."
"Nintendo kicked off the Monster Hunter Tri information overload today at its summit in San Francisco, announcing an April 20th release date, along with the news that unlike Japan, there will be no subscription fees associated with online play in the North American version of the game. Fans still get all of the Wii Speak-enabled online monster hunting they can handle, without having to pay a dime, unless they want to purchase additional items for the game in the Nintendo Store."
"Just click on the meat icon (Rewards page) which I circled red for you on this picture and enter in your personal info to receive a free demo of Monster Hunter Tri.
They'll more than likely ship out and get there by March 8th."
The conference portion of Nintendo of America's media summit has ended today, and here's a full recap of the announcements:
Capcom have ended the rumors that a portable version of Monster Hunter Tri is currently in the works, with Capcom UK spokesman Leo Tan saying "If Capcom was to announce a new Monster Hunter Portable game, the chances of its first appearance in any magazine other than Famitsu are pretty slim."

According to Capcom's latest financial report, the company was disappointed with the sales of Okami (Wii) and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.
However, they were pleased with the "satisfactory" sales of Monster Hunter 3, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite PSP the Best, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, and Mega Man EXE: Operate Shooting Star.
Capcom has solidified their Spring release schedule by handing out release dates to Lost Planet 2 (PS3, Xbox 360), Super Street Fighter IV (PS3, Xbox 360), Final Fight: Double Impact (PS3, Xbox 360) and Monster Hunter Tri (Wii).
"A black version of the controller will come bundled with Capcom's upcoming action-adventure game Monster Hunter Tri for a price of $59.99. Gamers will also be able to purchase the Classic Controller Pro separately (in white or black) for the same price as the current Classic Controller, $19.99. Monster Hunter Tri will also be available in a game-only package for $49.99."
"If there is one point that Nintendo can still make progress with, it is certainly on the quality of its online gaming service and in particular on Friend Codes. And when one of the biggest upcoming games mainly based on cooperative online, Monster Hunter Tri, announces the arrival of a proper system, we can only rejoice.
Indeed, there will be no Friend Codes to add difficulty to allow you to play your prerecorded contacts in your console. Capcom uses a new system to prevent the tedious pa..."
"Following the rumour that Capcom was no longer interested in developing videogames for Wii, spurred on by disappointing sales of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, Capcom Europe has today delivered a statement. Denying the report, the publisher reaffirms it’s commitment to being a multi-format developer and publisher."
"Monster Hunter Tri~ offers players the opportunity to live the life of a hunter, and with the option of split-screen mode where two players can hunt co-operatively it need never be a lonely existence. Further to this, players can form a team of up to four hunters via the game’s custom online Wi-Fi mode, playing together to achieve greater things. New items, weapons and armour sets will be available to assist the hunters as they slay new enemies, embarking on what is promised to be the most ep..."
Capcom intends to become a major international publisher by the end of the next fiscal year. Given all the titles that are being pushed back, they certainly have the resources to do so. But here's what their three-pronged strategy for success looks like.
Apparently Capcom's Q1 2010 release schedule was too crowded and in order to avoid having the games compete with each other (and other games) they've decided space to out the releases throughout the fiscal year. As a result of this, Super Street Fighter IV, Dead Rising 2, Lost Planet 2, and the North American release of Monster Hunter Tri have all been delayed. No concrete dates have been given but you can expect these titles to be released any time between April 2010 and March 2011.
"As the grand opening of this year’s London Games Festival, London MCM Expo was always going to be knee-deep in sweet gaming goodness, giving visitors hands-on experience with upcoming epic titles such as Bandai Namco’s Tekken 6, Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed II and Monster Hunter Tri from Capcom. Now three more top developers give you a sneak peek at what they’ve got planned for October’s Expo."
"Monster Hunter developer Capcom is taking cheating seriously. Very seriously. That, or it's automatic responses might need a-fixin'.
The below image reads:
- Dear Customer
You are presently banned for using modded data to connect online. The ban will be left at 22:49 on 12/12/9999. The next time you violate the terms of use, you will never again be able to connect.
The year 9999 might be a long time, but it's not "never". Never is a long time. 9999? A blink in the space-time continuum."
It's been known that Monster Hunter 3's online service will be running on a pay-to-play model. However, with the game coming out shortly in Japan, Capcom has confirmed the pricing for Japanese gamers to play online. Each copy of the game will come with a 20 day free trial. After that you'll need to throw down some cash to continue playing. However, as the article notes, things could turn out differently for the North American version.

Details and possible announcements are currently unknown and was not given out by the company. However, this coincides with multiple sources stating that Nintendo of Japan will have their press conference on the same day. Could we see some megatons?
Last year's fall press conference brought us news such as Sonic in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Monster Hunter 3 Wii-exclu...
In the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, there was a full nine-page article on Capcom's upcoming Wii online action game, Monster Hunter 3, with its first real bit of information since its announcement back in 2007.
Famitsu's article has two interviews: one with producer Ryozo Tsujimoto and director Kaname Fujioka. Monster Hunter 3 will have underwater hunting available, with most of your hunter skillset usable. While underwater, instead of the stamina gauge, an air gauge will be utilized t...

In the recent Famitsu issue here are the top 20 games most wanted from Japan's biggest games magazine. It's a really interesting list as what dominates the list in being No.1 is Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS and then followed by Final Fantasy XIII which was at No.1. Third place comes the highly anticipated Resident Evil 5. A list containing top notch games. Too bad only one game from 360 makes it.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl has now been officially delayed by Nintendo to be released in January next year. This is in Japan of course. When will it arrive in the U.S & U.K is still TBC. Sonic has now also been confirmed to be in the SSBB roster. I guess Nintedo listened to all the cries on the Internet. Online coop has also been introduced, this should enhance gameplay and leave SSBB for a longer period of time in your Wii. Nintendo are still tight lipped about how this feature will work. Last ...
One of the megaton of announcements during Nintendo's Fall Press Conference was that Monster Hunter 3 was going to be on the Wii.
Nobody knew, however, that it was going to be Wii-exclusive.
Originally slated to be on the PS3, Nintendo has struck a deal and now Monster Hunter 3, part of a series that is vastly popular in Japan, is now exclusive to the Wii console.
Ouch for Sony, and I think Nintendo won Japan. Again.
Hi folks, Nintendo just let out the big one.
From Ge-maga via IGN, a live-blog of a live-blog of Nintendo's Japanese Fall Press Conference has let loose the megaton.
