Capcom’s teasing a “monster” surprise on the company’s European forums and official blog for Monday. There’s no word yet on what the company has in store, but it may be worth mentioning that there’s a screenshot of Monster Hunter 3 on the blog. Also, we know MH3 is on its way to North America early next year, so perhaps the mystery is related to that title.

“Make sure you hang around here on Monday.” – Capcom Europe’s Senior Online Marketing & Community Manager

“Just a note to say that we (and our European-flavored friends) have a “Monster” surprise coming for Monster Hunter fans. Yes, I would say it’s bigger than the Ragiakurusu. So when is it coming? Monday! /tease” – Capcom’s official blog

Strange pricing situation with the 6 in 1 Dictionary with Camera Function

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments

Remember the European/Australian DSiWare update last night? When we posted the news, the 6 in 1 Dictionary with Camera Function tool had a price of 800 points. Strangely though, now that’s been changed to 500 points. Here’s the thing: Some DSi owners have already downloaded the application for 800 points and have not received a refund for the extra 300 that they paid for. Sounds like something odd is going on, doesn’t it?

Thanks to Johannes for the news tip!
