“This is a side-scrolling action game in which players control a cartoon toaster as it traverses through colorful environments. Environments are filled with whimsical enemies such as aggressive fruit and vegetable creatures. Players can shoot pastries at enemies and must avoid getting hit by projectiles (e.g., bamboo spears, “durians,” and wooden poles) to advance.” – ESRB description

Dangerous fruit and vegetable creatures? Count me in!

Monster Hunter 3 is still in development and has yet to be released, but that isn’t stopping the announcement of another Monster Hunter title that will end up on Wii. According to the latest edition of Famitsu, Monster Hunter G will be heading to the Wii. The game originally was released on the PS2 and then moved to the PSP for a European and North American release. Monster Hunter G marks the second time a game in the series will launch on a Nintendo platform. We’ll have more news as it becomes available.

“MotoGP. Neopets Puzzle Adventure. Dead Rising Wii. Spyborgs. [They] are all coming in 2009. Beyond that, we have a few other tricks up our sleeves I can’t talk about yet.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

I wonder how many Wii titles we’ll see from Capcom in 2009. More ports might be realistic, but perhaps the company has moved on to original titles. Anyone want to take a guess?
