    Monster Hunter G Coming to Nintendo Wii

    Capcom has now confirmed that in addition to Monster Hunter 3, it will be porting the PS2/PSP game 'Monster Hunter G' to Wii early next year. Famitsu magazine has revealed that the game is set for a Spring 2009 release in Japan and comes with two control schemes - the original from the PS2 or the revised PSP system. The game is currently at the 77% completion stage, will come with wide-screen support, six types of weapons and online content (although whether or not a fee will be required for this content is so far unknown).

    Some small Monster Hunter 3 details were also revealed, with a new desert location unveiled, as well as a new rock monster. Apparently this is still only 40% complete, so chances are it may well be delayed to be a holiday 2009 game in Japan and perhaps this leaves room for a Monster Hunter 2G port as well during the Summer/Autumn period!

    Re: Monster Hunter G Coming to Nintendo Wii

    Monster Hunter G was originally released for the PlayStation 2 in January 2005. Following the surprise success of the original Monster Hunter (the game didn't sell anywhere near the level the PSP titles eventually did, but was still a huge hit), Capcom released G as an expansion featuring new monsters, a new duel sword weapon, and tough G-class quests.

    Famitsu got the first word on the Wiimake of G, which is due for Spring release in Japan. Based on the magazine's report, it seems that the Wii version will retain everything from the PS2 version, including the four player online play mode. Capcom is even insisting that the game be played with the Classic Controller!

    There are some additions planned for the Wii version. You'll find convenient features, including the ability to have items sent directly to your item box, and the ability to see weapons before they've been produced at the weapons shop. The magazine also hints that the Wii version's network mode could have some differences from that of the PS2 version.

    The PS2 version chared players a monthly fee for online play. For the Wii version, Famitsu doesn't state if the game will be free or if players will have to pay to play.

    Of course, the main Monster Hunter game Wii owners in Japan are looking forward to is part 3 in the series. Famitsu offers a first look at a new desert area of play along with a few new monsters. This is the first major update for the game since those absurd waits at the Tokyo Game Show.

    Over in Japan, Monster Hunter 3's release will presumably follow G's release. Here in America, however, it's probably safe to assume that 3 will be Wii's first exposure to the popular series. We will, of course, let you know if Capcom decides otherwise.
