The rumble of approaching monsters grows louder by the day and on 23rd April 2010, Wii owners will get to taste the game that has been a phenomenon in Japan, when Monster Hunter Tri roars into life across Europe. To further whet your monstrous appetite, Nintendo can reveal today that the new game will offer a free online multiplayer mode in Europe.
The game – the first time the Monster Hunter series has come to Wii – will allow players to hunt and communicate together completely for free to become cunning, skilled hunting packs…tracking the fearsome creatures that share your world, and battling them in a quest for Evolution.
Players will be able to set up quests and join each other in the hunt online with just a few simple steps. If you meet a friend or someone you wish to hunt with, you can simply add them to your friend roster, following their mutual agreement. This makes them easy to find in the future, where a double click will take you straight to their quest if they are online.
The game is also fully Wii Speak-compatible, which will mean that you and up to 3 of your fellow hunters can share your online experiences in a whole new dimension.
Dedicated European servers will make the online multiplayer service fast and smooth. You will be able to keep all your attention and your wits fixed on the action – and you’ll need to, in order to succeed.
Monster Hunter Tri is an action game with a difference. Your adventure is built interacting with and battling the scores of incredible beasts that inhabit your world – a living, breathing ecosystem. The monsters’ behaviour is modelled on real animals with territorial displays designed to keep you away if you get too close, migrations and a realistic food chain that sees the strong prey on the weak. This is a world where the monsters deserve your respect… and where the hunt is not for entertainment, but for your survival and improvement.
Target the monsters you need to slay by thinking tactically about what they can offer you – take a fire-resistant monster’s scales to upgrade your armour and make yourself fire-resistant, for example.
In Europe, the game will ship as game only and two separate special bundles: one containing a black Classic Controller Pro and one which contains Wii Speak accessory and a black Classic Controller Pro. Fancy joining the hunt on 23rd April when Monster Hunter Tri thunders onto Wii across Europe? Then start preparing yourself at www.theyrecoming.co.uk
Although we have our very own Monster Hunter, Dazza, we'll be glad to get our hands on this one! Expect a full hands-on preview of this monster title over the next couple of days.

I want this to be good so much that I'm actually worried about it.
That WiiSpeak bundle sounds like a good deal. Can't wait to try the demo disc!
...That US exclusive preorder bonus sounds awesome too. >:3
Too hardcore and too life occupying for me. But I am very tempted.
Gotta preorder this baby!

You don't have to exchange those annoying friend codes any more?
I guess that confirms no white CC Pro for Europe And what is this I hear about region locked online? Oh, Nintendo is there anything won't go and region lock (I understand playing with Americans or arranging games with them is awkward and it is great there are European servers at all but it would nice to have the option and not use it then no option at all)
Just bought speak of ebay new free deleivery from gamezone £10
awww I wish the US could get the WiiSpeak Bundle too....oh well I'll just grab the Classic Pro Bundle
and the region lock sucks, but hey, let's be grateful that we're even getting the online for free. There's not enough people for them to charge online for, and i think an international server would be way too expensive, so lets just be happy we have that free online. Thanks Capcom!
Let's hype this game up!!! I have played the psp versions, I hope this one is a lot better. Monster Hunter has an interesting open world with a lot of small and huge creatures to hunt. But the controls and camera have always been pretty bad. I hope it will be way better in this one, because it really is an interesting series.
Isn't the US getting some kind of soundtrack included in their premium bundle? ...
I heard the controls haven't changed that much from the old games
