Gamestop have a juicy pre-order demo bonus for Capcom’s upcoming “Monster Hunter 3” to get you in the mood of slaying some big badass monsters. There was also alimited number available from their website, however don’t try and get one now as they’ve already all gone.
“Nice work on getting people pumped! But, unfortunately, we had limited quantities of the [Monster Hunter Tri] demo (as was stated in the “Rewards” section). So since we’ve reached our limit, we removed the icon for now. To make sure others get the demo, it would be best to direct them to a GameStop store. Keep your eyes peeled though, as we have another item for the “Rewards” section in the coming weeks.” – Capcom employee
Not so good news for European gamers unfortunately as they are once again feeling the end of the shaft by not getting the demo at all! Capcom try to explain this below and while the US version of the demo wouldn’t work in PAL consoles, a PAL version would. No excuse Capcom.
“To clarify things, the demo of Monster Hunter 3 will not be available to players outside the United States and Canada. For a simple reason, this demo is not playable on the Nintendo Wii from other regions. ” – Capcom statement

If you need reminding of just how gorgoeus Capcom’s ‘Monster Hunter 3′ is, then look no further than this video.
The game was recently slated for release in the west in April along with Classic Controller Pro bundles and it received the highest accolade review score of 40/40 from Famitsu.
Don’t know about you but I still find that there’s something funny about how the players character runs when running towards the screen. Is it just me that finds this funny? Oh… ok then!
Capcom have announced that their top selling franchise in Japan has a release date in Europe - April. That’s as specific as it gets but at least you guys now know roughly when you can get your grubby hands on it. Also confirmed is the inclusion of support for Wii Speak and the game will be coming in various bundles. Of course the game sold game-only but in addition there will be two special bundles. The first one “containing a black Classic Controller Pro and one which contains Wii Speak accessory and a black Classic Controller Pro”.
This news comes after Capcom announced similar bundles for North America, so it won’t be long before we’re all be hunting together!
You may remember the Japanese ‘Monster Hunter 3′ Wii bundle that was released in Japan last year for the game that scored a maximum 40/40 from Famitsu? That pack included a black Wii console, black nunchuck and Wiimote, black Classic Controller Pro and a copy of the game. Well North American gamers are not getting that whole bundle but they will be getting a black Classic Controller Pro pack which the game was designed around.
This will be available in North America in April and set you back about $59.99.
The ‘Mega Man Zero: Collection‘ was announced by Capcom a few days ago featuring all GBA titles on one cart. This is the first footage of the DS version that will ship later this year.
Capcom have announced the ‘Mega Man Zero Collection’ for Nintendo DS with a Japanese release date of April 22nd 2010. This compilation will feature all four Gameboy Advance Mega Man Zero games on one cart.
So far there is no news of a western release date though we hold out hope this will change soon. You can check out the official website here.
As a bonus from Capcom, all those that buy upcoming fighter ‘Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars‘ on Wii will receive a 2D scrolling shoot-em-up by the name of ‘Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Shooters‘. The first video footage you can see above.
The game which is set in the world of Lost Planet will allow up to 4 players to blast their way around using characters such as Ryu, PTX-40A, Ken the Eagle and Tekkama.
In an interview earlier this week with Capcom’s Antoine Seux, the executive touched on the subject that the company are unlikely to develop much for the Wii, or atleast mature titles for the Wii and said that “the future is the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.”
But now seems that their PR department is trying to cover their tracks somewhat and have sent a press release stating their commitment as a multi-platform developer. To us it sounds likely they will continue Wii development, but at a minimum, while focusing more on PS3 and Xbox 360.
“Further to comments made in a recent article on French website Gamekult, Capcom would like to confirm its commitment as a multi-platform developer and publisher of interactive software.”
