The “Monster Hunter” franchise is a series of hunting action games that allow players to experience the thrill of hunting huge ferocious monsters in an expansive natural environment.

The latest addition in the “Monster Hunter” series, “Monster Hunter 3(tri-)”, will bring the beloved feel and gameplay of the series back to home consoles starting on August 1, 2009 (in Japan). The latest “Monster Hunter” will become the first third-party game to be bundled and sold with the Nintendo Wii in the “Monster Hunter 3(tri-)” special pack.
