14 DAY TRIAL // Capcom announced last month its plans to bring Monster Hunter G, a game initially released in Japan, to the PlayStation 2 from Sony and then to the West on the PlayStation Portable, to the Nintendo Wii.
The game is pretty old and will probably be a success only amongst those interested in the franchise looking to play the title on their new gaming device. But Capcom has managed to make it a possible hit by announcing that it plans to bundle the new release with a demo version of the upcoming Monster Hunter 3 tri, the game set to take the franchise to the next level in terms of graphics and gameplay.
Monster Hunter G for the Nintendo Wii will arrive on April 23 and will be offered to gamers in two very different varieties: a regular one, which only includes the ported game and the demo, while the Starter Pack offers quite a bit more.
For 5,240 Yen, about 56 dollars, players will receive not only a full game and an eagerly awaited demo but also a promotional card from the new “Monster Hunter Hunting Cards” trading card game and a Wii Classic Controller, which has been specially customized.
The Classic Controller is there because the port of Monster Hunter G will not support the motion tracking controller of the Nintendo Wii. Bear in mind that the Starter Pack will only be manufactured in a limited 90,000 copies and the cost of the regular offer is just 45 dollars.
Monster Hunter G will be playable online by those dedicated fans, with a subscription price paid every month. No official announcement related to the pricing scale has been offered but by taking a look at the PC version of the game, prices will likely hover around 10 – 15 dollars a month.
