The 3DS version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will be playable at New York Comic Con 2012 this weekend. But that’s not all! Capcom confirmed today that the Wii U game will be playable as well.

Attendees will be able to try out the title at the company’s Monster Hunter room. The room will also house a tournament that will offer prizes such as a copy of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate – which will be provided at launch.

Those who are interested should stop by Room B101 of the convention hall. Capcom is doing this on a first come, first serve basis and you’ll need to sign up on Saturday, the first day of the tournament.

Tournament times are as follows:

(Friday will be free play sessions all day)

Saturday
1:00-1:40: Hunt the Lagombi (easy)
1:50-2:30: Hunt the Plesioth (medium)
2:40-3:20: Hunt the Brachydios (hard) 

Sunday
2:10-2:50: Hunt the Lagombi (easy)
3:00-3:40: Hunt the Plesioth (medium)
3:50-4:30: Hunt the Brachydios (hard)

All other times for Saturday and Sunday will be free play.

One of the 3DS’ most interesting-looking RPGs is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy. As far as we know, this is a Japanese-only release.

Square Enix hasn’t announced any overseas plans at this time, but producer Tomoya Asano did offer a small bit of hope in a new interview.

Asano said the following:

“I know that we don’t have plans to bring the game over to America yet, but thank you for your interest in the game. Keep talking about it on Facebook and Twitter, and keep watching for new info from us!”

Maybe I’m looking into that “yet” part too much. I really can’t see Square Enix keeping Bravely Default in Japan though – especially if it sells well in Japan.

Retro City Rampage’s launch will vary by platform. The PS3/Vita/PC version comes out this week. Retro City Rampage will then arrive later this year on WiiWare and Xbox Live Arcade.


Here’s something that’s sure to receive a ton of attention. While speaking with Total Revue at the Eurogamer Expo, a Nintendo representative apparently told the site that Wii U is “19 times more powerful than PS3”.

There are two things to point out here. First, this is a representative we’re talking about here – how much does he/she really know? Second – did Nintendo actually conduct a test to come up with that claim?

Something tells me that this statement will end up being blown out of proportion…
