Philip Federico

March 12, 2010

Nintendo have updated their official Japanese website for Mistwalker’s soon to be released RPG game : The Last Story with some very nice concept artwork.

Check it out and let us know what you think of it. Unfortunately unless you can read Japanese the rest of the website doesn’t make any sense but at least fans of Mistwalker Studios can see original concept artwork for the game and when that happens we all know that game isn’t too far away.

MW2 Community Night – How it’s going to work

duraroc

March 12, 2010

Hi all,

Just a post on how the community night is going to work TONIGHT.

We’ve had an amazing response to the night, we all have full friends lists, so am thinking about 200 odd people want to play. Whether they show up is a different story.

We are going to setup a private room, which can hold 18 people. With the 4 of us from Capsule Computers, we can have another 14 people. So those people who did send friends requests, look out for our names, when a spot is free, join the session.

After you have played a few/couple of games, can you leave the room so someone else can join in. We want to give everyone a chance to play and everyone a chance to win a prize. Sound fair?

Please don’t send us a message asking when you can join, I don’t want to spend half the night reading messages – I will read them, but not during the game and may not reply.

About the prizes – don’t ask about them all night please – they are an added extra. We are going to be picking people randomly at the end of the night and we will be in contact with you. We will also put a post on the website once we have the list.

So, see you all, or most of you after 8pm tonight!

Monster Hunter 3 TRI Event at Cockatoo Island Sydney

Capcom

Philip Federico

March 11, 2010

Nintendo Australia sure know how to throw a MONSTER of a party. With the release of Capcom’s Monster Hunter 3 TRI nearly upon us. A group of great warriors were selected to embark on a journey and travel across the sea on the back of a giant turtle to mysterious Cockatoo Island, in Sydney Australia where danger, adventure and MONSTERS awaited !!

Step inside the cave brave Warrior and experience the world of MONSTER HUNTER 3 TRI !!!

The fine people at Nintendo, hosted a fantastic event on behalf of Capcom’s Monster Hunter 3 TRI which will be available in Australia on 29th of April exclusively for the Nintendo Wii. All the brave warriors who entered the Monster Hunter cave got to experience first hand all the excitement and danger in the world of Monster Hunter 3 TRI.

Nintendo showcased all the great new features within the game with a fantastic 20 minute presentation. Once that was out of the way the mighty warriors were allowed to Hunt down the wild monsters themselves, testing out the great features & multiplayer that the game has to offer. Monster Hunter 3 TRI allows for unparalleled co–op gameplay, both online and offline. Hunting can be performed with up to three other players online or two players offline in Arena Mode. A great feature in Arena Mode is you’ll have the ability to save your character’s information to the Wii Remote directly so you’re always ready to play anywhere you go !!

MasterAbbott was able to get an exclusive preview of Monster Hunter 3 TRI in action with Nintendo’s Jamie Wilson providing a detailed rundown of all the new features within the game. Check out the video below:

Monster Hunter 3 TRI will be available on the 29th of April as a standalone game or in a bundle with the new Classic Controller PRO (which comes in black) Price for the standalone will be $79.99 AUD and $99.99 AUD for the bundle. The Classic Controller Pro’s more traditional control configuration will give gamers the ultimate monster hunting experience.

Capsule Computers would like to thank the great people at Nintendo for organizing such a fantastic event. The fine warriors were provided with an abundance of food and beverage and even a Monster Hunter swag bag full of goodies to take home.

In the end all the Warriors made it out of the cave alive and in one piece, leaving the mysterious Cockatoo Island on the back of the Giant turtle they all made it to the main land and back to their loving families who were eagerly awaiting their triumphant return 😉

TO VICTORY !!!!!
