Monster Hunter G for Wii will be released on April 23, 2009 for ¥3990 (same price as the Biohazard 0/remake ports). A demo of Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) will be included in the package.

Also, Capcom and Nintendo are releasing a special classic controller with a Monster Hunter G design. It'll be released separately as well as in a bundle (Monster Hunter G Starter Pack) with the game for ¥5220.

That controller is much sexier than the game will be! It reminds me of Wind Waker.

 

[MisterHero]

wow has Nintendo started releasing controllers that are not white?

also, looking forward to Monster Hunter, etc. etc.

 

[John Harker]

yup. i'd buy that.

(then i'd finally be able to play my VC version of Breath of Fire II! haha)

 

[Bending_Unit_22]

Interesting, sounds like a good way to get at least some of the MH fanbase over to the Wii for MH3. Look's like Capcom is putting some effort into this, which is surprising to me for some reason :lol.

Edit: Also that is a cool bundle, any word on if it's coming to NA?

 

[Corran Horn]

wow i want that

 

[Drkirby]

Damn you Capcom and your ability to make me keep buying the same product over again. The Classic Controller is to nice ;-;

The shocking lack of media 4 months before the game is released kinda scares me.

edit:
this is MHG, not MH3

 

[john tv]

Have they announced pricing for playing online?

 

[PantherLotus]

Oh wait, this is for MONSTER HUNTER G! Monster Hunter TRI demo in the box?

That shit will sell.

 

[Bending_Unit_22]

Yeah, i was going to say "Look's like Capcom is putting a lot of effort into this" but I'm not sure how the hype/advertise side of things is going so I downgraded it to "some effort". Still a surprising level of effort for a 3rd party Wii game.

 

[Vinci]

Of course we'll never seen this overseas, right?

Damn it.

 

[nyong]

I'm not sure if this is already known or not, but the fact they're releasing an updated classic controller is music to my ears. Not just because the thing looks amazing, but because I doubt they'd release one unless the game used it. And I doubt the game would use it unless they are omitting waggle.....

 

[Divvy]

Must.. resist... buying.. shiny... controller....

 

[Drkirby]

Of course we'll never seen this overseas, right?

Damn it.

There is some chance. If we start pestering Capcom NOW maybe we too can get it.

 

[Defuser]

It's Crackdown with Halo 3 beta all over again. :lol

 

[sprocket]

mine mine mine!

 

[Vinci]

There is some chance. If we start pestering Capcom NOW maybe we too can get it.

Okay. Commence pestering. I want full-on nuclear war level pestering is what I'm saying. I want this shit. Especially the controller and demo.

EDIT: Where do I go to pester these people anyway?? :lol

 

[itxaka]

Have they announced pricing for playing online?

wait....playing online is gonna be charged now? on the wii?

 

[Xavien]

OMG, that controller looks awesome.

 

[MisterHero]

wait....playing online is gonna be charged now? on the wii?

only certain games, and the Nintendo WiFi connection label will be red instead of blue

for those who get the game soon I hope the system is up to snuff and worth paying for

 

[RoboPlato]

That CC looks nice. I would definitely pick that up if it came over here.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

That controller is much sexier than the game will be! It reminds me of Wind Waker.

Agree.

NoA, put this on Club Nintendo please.

 

[Defuser]

wait....playing online is gonna be charged now? on the wii?

First time on Monster Hunter? Capcom always charged online in Japan.

 

[Drkirby]

It's Crackdown with Halo 3 beta all over again. :lol

This time it comes with a good game.


*Runs from the people who liked crackdown*

YOU WILL NEVER CATCH ME IN MY BADLY ANIMATED TANK!

 

[RBH]

Shit, I don't even like Monster Hunter, yet I think that controller looks nice.

 

[TJ Spyke]

Shit, I don't even like Monster Hunter, yet I think that controller looks nice.

Agreed. I have never played a Monster Hunter game, but I would buy that Classic Controller because it looks sexy.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

oh god i hope this means mh3 will have classic controller support.....

 

[Troidal]

1. Buy bundle
2. Sell off the game software
3. eBay the controllers
4. Profit

 

[RBH]

This time it comes with a good game.

[GhostSeed]

HOT!

 

[DreD]

oh god i hope this means mh3 will have classic controller support.....

Maybe someone will correct me, but I recall hearing in an interview (on GameTrailers maybe?) that MH3 would support both the classic controller and the wiimote-nunchuck configuration.

 

[Vinci]

oh god i hope this means mh3 will have classic controller support.....

Um ... it does. They've shown people, like, playing it with them.

 

[nyong]

Maybe someone will correct me, but I recall hearing in an interview (on GameTrailers maybe?) that MH3 would support both the classic controller and the wiimote-nunchuck configuration.

I'm just wondering if by admitting that the game uses the classic controller they are also saying there are no motion controls.

 

[markatisu]

Time to import, thank god for Gecko OS and Wii Homebrew!!

That controller is so hot and the demo of MH3 Wii, wow thats going to move some units

 

[Cipherr]

I'm just wondering if by admitting that the game uses the classic controller they are also saying there are no motion controls.

Probably wont be any unnecessary overly used motion. IR more than likely and very small usage of motion, but honestly do we need more than that? Its about time that devs realize that just because its there doesn't mean you need to completely freaking over do it. Gives me LOTS of confidence in this game.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

Um ... it does. They've shown people, like, playing it with them.

did someone just get told?
no.
tell them.
did someone just get told?
yes.

OH SNAP.

 

[cw_sasuke]

FF13 and MH Tri Demos - damn it`s like the semi finals. Awesome CC though.

 

[Barakov]

I guess this is a good time as any to get into Monster Hunter.

[baby panda]

controller looks sick. is this the first time Nintendo let a 3rd party have their own controller? cant seem to recall of any in the past

 

[Ninja Scooter]

controller looks sick. is this the first time Nintendo let a 3rd party have their own controller? cant seem to recall of any in the past

pretty sure there were a couple special edition GC controllers last gen (Red Gundam one comes to mind)

 

[alba]

man that controller looks good and i never played any monster hunter game :O

 

[Vinci]

Nintendo wants this damn game to sell. BIG TIME. Still hope they'll do something this aggressive overseas though: It'd be nice to see the game hit big over here.

 

[Arde5643]

man that controller looks good and i never played any monster hunter game :O

So custom CC really becomes the trojan horse armour, eh? eh?

 

[sprsk]

Aw hell, there's no way I'm not getting this. I better preorder soon.

 

[distantmantra]

[donkey show]

I still can't get my hands on one. =(

 

[Alcibiades]

Now if only they could support classic controller support for their GCN re-releases (since there seems to be little hope at this point they'll stop removing GCN controller functionality)...
