Following a successful launch in Japan, which saw day one shipments exceed one million units, Capcom has announced the European and North American release of Monster Hunter Tri for Wii.
Set for release early in 2010, Monster Hunter Tri depicts a living, breathing ecosystem where man co-exists with fantastical beasts that roam both the dry land and the brand new sub-aqua environment – a first for the series.
Laurent Fischer, Managing Director, Marketing & PR, Nintendo of Europe, commented “The popularity of the Monster Hunter franchise in Japan is undeniable and the Day 1 shipment number indicates that the release of Monster Hunter Tri on Wii will be another major hit for the series. We are therefore really excited that Capcom is bringing this title to Europe so the Wii audience here can also experience the thrill of the hunt.”
Visitors to this month’s gamescom – taking place in Cologne, Germany from August 19th-23 – will be the first to sample a localised version of the title on Capcom’s stand as it makes its debut to a western audience.
