“We’ve made no announcements at this time [Monster Hunter 3 in North America]. The major MH announcement made for the West at TGS was that Freedom Unite was coming to the US next year.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development
I just can’t imagine Capcom neglecting to bring Monster Hunter 3 to North America. Even though the following isn’t as big in NA as it is in Japan, a number of other Monster Hunter titles have reached its shores; so I don’t see why Capcom would neglect a release of the game in the states.
– Graphics appear “cleaner” than Monster Hunter: Frontier
– New motions of Water Dragon, new weapon motions, trap effects
– Can use traps underwater
– Underwater gauge is available in the TGS demo
– Monster List allows you to display details abut a monster
– You can capture a monster’s information if you use the pointer on the Wiimote (hit A as well, then move to the right corner of the screen)
Back on Thursday, Marvelous Entertainment (Arc Rise Fantasia, Muramasa) revealed a WiiWare title they are developing: Discipline. There are only a few details that are known about the title, but the very strange trailer should give you a good idea about the game’s vibe.
Hoffman Estates, IL – October 10, 2008 – High Voltage Software, Inc., one of the world’s largest independent developers, today announced High Voltage Hot Rod Show, an intense new racing title scheduled for release on the WiiWare downloadable service later this Fall.
High Voltage Hot Rod Show requires players to master more than the basic racing skills to compete. A unique stunt system gives players multiple ways to build boost, which drastically increases a Hot Rod’s speed. If you get too greedy, you might crash and burn! The game utilizes the company’s proprietary Quantum 3 Game Engine technology, which provides graphical performance and game play not possible on other Wii titles.
