Monster Hunter Tri West-Bound

As expected, Capcom have announced a North American and European/PAL release for Monster Hunter Tri which has just launched in Japan along with the rather tasty black Wii console bundle. Though we are not sure yet if the west will be getting the black console, we can atleast expect the game to ship in early 2010. So expect a wait of six months at best.

“Fans of Nintendo and Monster Hunter are eagerly anticipating the launch of this title, which will be the first time the series is available on a Nintendo home console,” said Steve Singer, Nintendo of America’s VP 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.” Says the press release.

Fingers crossed for the limited edition release too!
