MH3 team planned on making “the most beautiful game on the Wii” from the very beginning
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 9 Comments
Without a doubt, Monster Hunter 3 is one of the best looking (if not the best) games on the Wii. You may remember that the visuals even manged to impress the Zelda team. Creating the most beautiful title on the Wii was a goal from the very start of development, as Monster Hunter 3 producer, Ryozo Tsujimoto, explains:
“We had planned out from the onset to make Monster Hunter Tri the most beautiful game on the Wii. We feel that we’ve taken a lot of time actually to make the graphics as good as they are. We’ve received a lot of good feedback from Japanese users and also from overseas users that definitely for a Wii game this is the best graphics they’ve seen.”
