Capcom talks Monster Hunter 4 – trailer was real gameplay, more
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Nintendo has posted a new third-party edition of Iwata Asks, which can currently be read in Japanese. Although a large portion of the interview was about Monster Hunter Tri G, Satoru Iwata managed to sneak in a few questions about the fourth entry in the hugely successful franchise.
Capcom’s Kaname Fujioka started off by revealing that the debut trailer shown in September was actual gameplay footage, played by the development team.
Fujioka and series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto also discussed Monster Hunter 4’s development. The game has been worked on alongside Tri G and the staff from MH4’s team have been able to learn a great deal from Tri G, primarily because they’re now familiar with the 3DS hardware.
The time between Tri G’s announcement up to its release will be about three months. As you might expect, the game’s development cycle was rather short. The team almost reached a point where they’d say, “if you’re not sure, just put it in.” This forced the staff to show constant results.
Fujioka acknowledged that the MH4 developers are under a fairly large amount of pressure. Additionally, he believes that there is a chance that the team could fail if they worked on the project in the way they’ve made other games in the series. Capcom will once again be looking to show results on a regular basis, and the trailer shown in September was one of the first examples of showing results for Monster Hunter 4.

Shipment numbers for Monster Hunter Tri G
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Retailer blog Sinobi has listed shipment numbers for upcoming release of Monster Hunter Tri G. The site claims that Capcom has sent out 420,000 units in total for the game’s first pressing. That’s 300,000 units for the standard edition, 100,000 copies for the Slide Pad bundle, and another 20,000 for the 3DS hardware bundle.
Given the huge popularity of Monster Hunter in Japan, these numbers may seen slightly low. But Sinobi states that Capcom probably accounted for Tri’s sales on Wii when considering the shipment numbers for the 3DS title.

HD screenshots of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Screenshots, Wii | 0 comments
These latest screenshots of Zelda: Skyward Sword in high resolution are a bit different from the first batch we posted. There still are some images of the game’s earlier sequences, though we also get a look at some of the areas found later on. Even though I’m sure most of you are aware of Skyward Sword’s complete map, I suppose this calls for a spoiler warning. The screenshots really do look fantastic!

Hey, that’s Zelda Williams! I believe I see Jim Carrey there as well, possibly. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me…
