Because a translation from Google is being used, not everything is perfectly clear. However, this is well worth reading, as Antoine Seux from Capcom France divulges a bunch of information concerning Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, Monster Hunter 3, hardcore games, the DS, and more.

Capcom on Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles sales…

“As for Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, in absolute figures are not too bad, but it’s not going to lie, they are below what we hoped. After three weeks (the interview was conducted December 23, editor’s note), we are a total of 16,000 units sold. One feels that there is a problem very clear on this style of game on the Wii, where gamers are obviously moved on. There are two more years, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles had yet had a very very big success on Wii. Here we can see, the customer of this console has turned to something much broader audience. It is a disappointment.”

London – January 5, 2010 – Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games today confirmed that it has entered into a distribution agreement with Nintendo for its forthcoming Wii title Monster Hunter Tri, the next instalment in the multi-million selling series. Under the terms of the agreement Nintendo will be responsible for the sales, marketing and distribution of Monster Hunter Tri throughout European and Australian territories with Capcom remaining as publisher. Monster Hunter Tri is scheduled for release this coming April and will set the bar in the action/adventure genre with the introduction of new features and gameplay elements as the Monster Hunter franchise makes its debut on the Nintendo system.

Monster Hunter Tri is one of the most strikingly beautiful games ever created for the Wii and brings to life a living breathing ecosystem where man and monster co-exist. The title’s single player story mode sees gamers taking on the role of a hunter whose village is beset by a series of violent tremors that threaten to destroy it. Charged by the village chief to discover the source of the earthquakes players will embark on a series of quests where they must face gigantic beasts that inhabit both land and sea.

A few days ago, a countdown was discovered on Platinum Games’ Japanese website. There has been much speculation that the company could be ready to unveil Shinji Mikami’s game, which has been in development since 2008. The countdown seemed to point to an unveiling in just a few days (or perhaps earlier if there were to be a news leak from Famitsu), although it looks like that is no longer the case. The official Platinum Games site now indicates that the countdown will expire in 27 days, that is unless the page is experiencing some sort of glitch at the moment. It is possible, however, that Platinum Games may simply need to wait a little bit longer before making an announcement.
