Nintendo and Capcom released a ton of new details for their upcoming release Monster Hunter Tri at the Nintendo Summit today. Highlights include free online play, voice support (Wii-Speak), a bundle with classic controller for only $59.99, and a pre-order Monster Hunter Tri Points Card worth 500 Points ($5.00) available through Gamestop. The card can be used towards games in the Wii Shop or Nintendo DSi Shop channels.
Finally, something from the Finnish “rockers” HIM. Finally. After watching this I’m inspired to start wearing shirts showing a little midriff. I also learned it’s not spelled “midrift”.
Pretty interesting list of games. I think I’m most looking forward to Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey from Atlus on the DS (March 10). Capcom also has some pretty good games coming: Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom on Wii, Phoenix Wright on WiiWare, Ace Attorney Investigations on DS, and Mega Man 10, the sequel to the download-only Mega Man 9.
Capcom has released a new video for Spyborgs, their upcoming beat ‘em up for the Wii. The video features Bouncer and Stinger beating up all kinds of stuff.
Spyborgs is Capcom’s hottest new video game thrill ride, combining an extraordinary sci-fi world with action-packed two-player co-op controls. In Spyborgs, gamers play as cybernetically enhanced superheroes who are betrayed by one of their own from the elite Spyborgs Institute. Players must team up to defeat this traitor through more than 35 stages of mind-blowing challenges, packed with epic boss battles and swarms of enemies that only two can defeat.

Capcom’s released a new Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles trailer for PAX. It looks pretty good and shooting zombies (or giant spiders) never really gets old. I like on-rails shooters, you don’t have to worry about walking around and going the wrong way, you get to focus on the important stuff, just shooting.
I didn’t realize there was an A Boy And His Blob remake coming to the Wii (announced March 4), a game we previously did a Awesome Radical Retro Prospective for. The graphics look really nice, and I don’t have to remember what the different colored beans do anymore.
