Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) is pleased to announce that shipments of "Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G" for the Nintendo 3DS have surpassed one million units in Japan.<\/p>\n\n

"Monster Hunter" is a series of hunting action games in which players go up against enormous monsters against a backdrop of spectacular scenery. Playing the game by using communications to cooperate with friends to fight powerful monsters has created a new style of communicating that sparked a social event called the "Monster Hunter craze". 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 20 million units. <\/p>\n\n

"Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G" adds many new elements to fully utilize the capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS. This game is based on "Monster Hunter 3 (Tri)" for the Wii\u00ae, a title that was introduced in August 2009. Players can enjoy three-dimensional images with greater depth. The game allows players to customize the touch screen for smoother operations. Players can also enjoy the extremely challenging G-rank quest as well as monsters that appear for the first time in the “Monster Hunter” series. With these and other features, "Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G" has become popular among a broad range of people extending from current to new game players. Furthermore, prior to the release of this title, Capcom distributed sample versions of the game and sent a truck with game playing machines to 18 locations throughout Japan, starting in Sendai. As a result, the number of shipments in Japan has quickly surpassed one million units in the new Nintendo 3DS segment of the game market. <\/p>\n\n

Along with the launch of "Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G", Capcom started selling promotional products by collaborating with Asahi Soft Drinks Co., Ltd. and CALBEE, Inc. In addition, Capcom placed two types of coin-operated games in its arcades that use the “Monster Hunter” theme. Overall, Capcom has been conducting many activities aimed at further boosting the value of the “Monster Hunter” franchise. <\/p>\n\n

Based on its multi-platform strategy, Capcom will continue to perform research involving new types of hardware in order to maximize earnings. Through these activities, Capcom aims to supply games that can achieve a high degree of satisfaction among a diverse spectrum of users around the world.<\/p>\n
