Capcom’s evergrowing Monster Hunter series has reached the one million units shipped milestone with Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, making it the first title in the series to do so for both Europe and North America.

Capcom released a lengthy statement regarding the achievement:

Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that overseas shipments of “Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate” for the Nintendo 3DS™ (“Monster Hunter 4G” in Japan) have surpassed one million units shipped in Europe and North America. These shipments include both retail and Nintendo eShop download sales.

The “Monster Hunter” series is an action RPG game that pits players against giant monsters in a beautiful natural environment. The series has sparked a social craze known as the “Monster Hunter Craze” by introducing a new kind of communication style for players through cooperative play focused on hunting monsters with their friends. The number of fans has increased steadily since the first “Monster Hunter” title made its debut in 2004. The series has grown into a mega-hit with cumulative sales of more than 32 million units around the world as of February 16, 2015.

In terms of the series, “Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate” follows the March 2013 launch of “Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate” in Europe and North America. The latest title is the biggest and most accessible yet, adding new monsters and weapons as well as dynamic three-dimensional action with even more vertical movements. Another feature is online play with others via broadband Internet, a feature that is in strong demand in Europe and North America.

Since the launch of the previous “Monster Hunter” title in Europe and North America, Capcom has used many activities to retain the many enthusiastic fans and attract many new users. For example, there are special events and a robust online community for game players. Downloads of trial games for first-time users and the continuous provision of free downloadable content have also helped extend the strong sales of “Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate”. In Europe and North America, the successful launch of this new title coincided with the introduction of the New Nintendo 3DS™, which resulted in “Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate” becoming the first title in the series to reach shipments of one million units in Europe and North America.

Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by making the most of its industry-leading game development capabilities in order to create high quality gameplay experiences.

Hitting the one million mark – whether it be in shipments, sales or both – is always an achievement, and we congratulate Capcom for hitting this milestone with such a fantastic series that keeps getting better with each new entry.

Monster Hunter Stories has been a long time coming from Capcom. In a message from series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, he reveals that the company began designing the game roughly five years ago.

Tsujimoto said:

After having passed the 10th anniversary last year, this is a new challenge for the Monster Hunter series, that we’ve began designing since about five years ago. While staying true to the world of Monster Hunter, and a story that can only be told through an RPG, we’d like to pack it with fun and enjoyment that we can’t even begin to describe with words. It is still in the middle of development, we’d like to offer you a new kind of excitement that is different from the conventional series, and the development staff are working on it in full-spirit.

Along with the above comments, Tsujimoto said Monster Hunter Stories will allow players to become “Riders” instead of Hunters. The RPG will tell the tale between the Riders and monsters.

Capcom’s latest update on The Great Ace Attorney covers the game’s cross-examination system. Find a new batch of screenshots and details below.

“Shake” the Witness

The prosecutor prepares a witness for the lawyer to interrogate. In this game’s court, several witnesses take the stand to testify together. Nonetheless, the lawyer is tasked with questioning them. Even if the testimony is without suspicion, shake the witness. When you “shake” the testimony, you can sometimes draw new details and information that supplement the evidence. In your pursuit for the truth, collect information as your weapon.

Quickly “Cross-Examine” Suspicious Reactions

In this game’s court, you’ll question multiple witnesses together. During the testimony, there may be a witness that reacts suspiciously. At this point, you must react quickly by switching over to the witness and cross-examining them. This might help you obtain a new testimony from a different witness.

Objection!

If you find a lie that contradicts the evidence, you can point out and thrust at the testimony. From here the truth will become clear. If you fail to thrust, the five marks in the upper right of the screen will decrease one by one. When all of them are gone, you’ll lose the case and be found “guilty.”
