Event and Arena Quests Offered Online Reward Successful Hunters With Rare Items and Upgrades
SAN MATEO, Calif — April 9, 2010 — Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced support for Monster Hunter™ Tri with unique event and arena quests on Wii™. Accessible for limited time periods, the online quests extend the player experience by offering monsters and rewards only available while the quests are open. Successful completion of the online quests allow players to upgrade their weapons and armor with rare items and take them into the standard single player or multiplayer quests. Based on a cyclical schedule, event quests will be available multiple times offering a number of opportunities for players to experience them. A schedule of event quests will be updated on Capcom’s community site, Capcom Unity at www.capcom-unity.com, on the first Friday of every month.Event Quests
Up to four players can band together online to complete the Event Quests. The Event Quests offer a variety of challenges on an ongoing basis, cycling monsters of varying difficulty. Aspiring hunters must meet the required hunter rank in order to participate in these quests or work to level up their characters by hunting monsters in either the single player mode or standard online multiplayer mode and attempt to participate when the desired post launch quest appears again. Specialized weapons, including three designed by Capcom’s community members, can only be obtained by participating in Event Quests.

The Last Story details

– Characters in latest art piece are the main character and heroine
– Director: “There is a wall between the two.”
– Other stories in The Last Story besides the one with the two characters in the latest art piece, including:
* The fear of speaking your true feelings
* The mystery of the father who went missing on boat
* The difficulty a leader has in making decisions
* The close accomplice who’s turned to evil
* The foolish archaeologist’s prison break
– Director: “It’s very important to merge battles and gameplay with story. Neither can stand on its own. Once both are connected together, the characters will rise up as ‘human’ within the container of a game.”
– Producer: “The characters who appear in The Last Story all walk their own paths and have their own stories.”
– Producer feels that players might be touched by other stories in the game: “Once you’ve been touched by that, it’s likely that you’ll be able to feel their [the characters outside of the main character] true feelings, which you did not see before.”

God, they are cheeky!
Zallag and Artefact Studios are presenting a teaser showing those who dared challenge the Gods! Also, here are a few information about the gameplay of the strategy game Gods vs Humans coming soon to WiiWare™.
The player will embody the greatest Gods from 4 different mythologies (Norse, Egyptian, Greco-Roman and Japanese) with a simple goal in mind: stop humans from reaching them. Indeed, humans decided to build a tower to challenge their Gods face to face. It’s up to the player to stop them by using his/her many powers. Beware however, it’s important not to hurt them, as Gods will always need humans to believe in them!
