Nintendo to Publish Monster Hunter Tri in Europe

The currently Wii-exclusive Monster Hunter is now set to conquer Europe and Australia with an agreement between Capcom and Nintendo.

Whilst developer Capcom is also distributing the game in North America and native Japan, it'll be down to Nintendo in PAL regions to market and promote the title when it arrives in stores this April.

Nintendo has identified Monster Hunter Tri~ as a key title for the Wii platform in 2010. We are really excited about partnering with Nintendo to further develop this franchise.

Michael Pattison, Senior Director Marketing, Capcom Europe

Monster Hunter has a huge and passionate following in Japan and we are looking forward to introducing the Monster Hunter Tri~ to a whole new audience in Europe as the series makes its first appearance on the Wii.
