Monster Hunter Tri is coming
to the West in early 2010 and for the first time
Western Wii owners will be able to join the hunt
as one of Capcom’s leading franchises makes its
debut on the system.
One of the most strikingly beautiful titles ever
developed for Nintendo’s Wii, Monster Hunter Tri
depicts a living, breathing ecosystem where man
co-exists with the fantastic beasts that roam
both the dry land and the brand new sub-aqua
environment - a first for the series.
Monster Hunter Tri sees the introduction of an
expansive story mode with players taking on the
role of a hunter, who is tasked by the Village
Chief to investigate the constant earthquakes
that threaten the everyday life of Moga village.
A bustling and vibrant town, Moga is home to the
hunter and includes a Blacksmith for forging
weapons and armor, a shop where items can be
purchased and an expanded farm with Felynes
acting as laborers and tending the crops. The
incentive to complete quests is now no longer
limited to the collection of items and money
with which the hunter can create or upgrade
armor and weapons. Successful hunts have a real
and visible impact on the status of Moga Village
as on returning home quest items are used to
repair damage caused by the earthquakes
resulting in happier and more active villagers.
Living the life of a hunter need never be a
solitary experience with the option of
split-screen mode where two players can hunt
co-operatively on select quests or form a team
of up to four hunters via the game’s custom
online Wi-Fi mode. Even solo players do not have
to face Monster Hunter Tri’s challenging quests
alone as they will be accompanied by Cha-Cha, an
AI hunting partner whose skills will prove
invaluable.
Complementing the new creatures and quests that
Monster Hunter Tri introduces to the series,
hunters will also have the benefit of new
weapons, armor sets and items. These include an
all new weapon class, the Switch Axe and a Torch
that not only illuminates the darkest caves but
will fend off certain creatures to assist them
as they embark on the most epic Monster Hunter
adventure to date.
The Monster Hunter series has sold over 10
million units globally and has given rise to
dedicated “Monster Hunter Summer Training
Camps”, ”Monster Hunter Festivals” and an
abundance of licensed merchandise.
