Monster Hunter Tri has been out in Japan for some time now, and it gets a really good reception, with its day one shipments exceed 1 million units. Now Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Tri will be making an appearance on the Wii in Europe and North America in early 2010.

Monster Hunter Tri will feature brand new underwater environments, two player split-screen co-op play as well as four player online co-op play. Capcom has full confidence that it will be another hit. But will it really works out? Most MH fans hope to play MH3 on PS3, never on Wii!

Shirley Manson, actress and lead singer of the alternative rock band Garbage, will appear as a playable character in the upcoming Guitar Hero 5. As fans of the band may have guessed, Garbage’s contribution track to Guitar Hero 5 will be their breakthrough single “Only Happy When It Rains”, originally featured in their self-titled Grammy award-winning debut album released back in 1995. In the behind the scenes video below, Shirley said: “I really love Guitar Hero. I’m thrilled to be one of two girls in it. They did a scan of my face then I had to put on this weird suit, it was super-freaky.” Here’s some screenshots.

Launching this September, Guitar Hero 5’s entire set list is available from the start, featuring hits from more than 80 artists and bands, including The Rolling Stones, The White Stripes, Kings of Leon, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Vampire Weekend, plus more than 25 artists from a variety of music genres that will be making their music video game debuts.

Michael Jackson was the “King of Pop”, and his songs have come through the world. And soon you’ll get the chance to sing with your beloved idol in your beloved Wii game. Recently, video game publisher Konami has announced that they will develop a version of “Karaoke Revolution” for Nintendo’s Wii featuring songs from the Jackson 5. The company said it has secured the rights to such titles as “I’ll Be There”, “ABC”, and “I Want You Back” for use in a “Revolution” update set for release this fall. It was with this band Michael Jackson scored his first number one hit by singing lead vocals on “I Want You Back”. At the time, Jackson was aged just 11.

“Revolution” with J5 features an expanded multiplayer mode to create karaoke parties with friends or develop a solo singing career. The songs will come from the Jacksons’ master recordings, and the title will have numerous custom options for the performance venues as well as the in-game characters.

So, prepare yourself a good set of karaoke microphone for this new game to sing with the “King of Pop”!

“Share with family and friends? Did Wiimote really say so?”

“Oh, yes, and we can see from these pictures below.

Wii Sports make every player so crazy for it that they even forget the surroundings and themselves. So, let’s share the happy burden with others. 

We all love Wii Sports, but there’s only one set of nunchuk and remote packed with the Wii console. What a pity! Fortunately, the design concept of the Wii is to build a gameplaying access for everyone, and its motion sensing control is totally within every player’s reach. Now, let’s share with our family and friends! And they all deserve such great fun!

The long-expected great work MH 3 is to be released for the Wii in less than 2 weeks, and millions of MH fans are waiting for the coming of August 1. Capcom has made some difference to ensure its popularity. It will involve underwater environments, and a Monster Theater will be implemented, which will record battles and allow them to be played back from various angles, and store them on a central server accessible via web browser. Also, Capcom confirmed new maps such as a desert area and new monsters, with completely redesigned monster interactive AI, creating an artificial ecosystem. Now I’m going to give players some introduction about one new monster in MH 3.

Now, I’m going to give you some introduction about one new monster in MH3, Dosubagii. It is The “Drome” Raptor species of the Icy Mountains. There are also smaller versions of it probably named Bagii. As Jagiinosu can summon the Jagii, Dosubagii can also summon the Bagii with a loud, resonating roar. It is the ‘boss’ version of the Bagii and Dosubagii. It is also shown to be able to summon Jagii at any time with a loud, resonating roar. Here are some pictures of Dosubagii.

Together with the MH 3, the MH 3 Nunchuk will be hitting the shelves on August 1. It has a rubber cover with MH 3 LOGO on it.

Sega announced this morning, a new Super Monkey Ball is scheduled to be released in early 2010. The game titled Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll will make use of the Wii Balance Board and have players navigating the cute little monkeys by shifting their weight.

Super Money Ball is a popular and challenging game and its popularity in Japan, North America, and Europe has led to several sequels and ports, including the Super Monkey Ball iPhone application which was released on 2008.

In addition, Nintendo’s Wii Balance Board has also its own fans, from young to old. With a peripheral shaped as a household body scale, players can play exercise games like yoga, aerobics, strength training and balance games. It brings people recreation and also fitness.

Combining with these two popular features, Super Money Ball Step & Roll will sure be a hit.

This summer holiday will be a really exciting one with the release of Nintendo’s great work, Wii Sports Resort! It was released in Japan on June 25, 2009 and sold over 514,000 units in just two weeks, while in North America, Europe and Australia it is scheduled to be released in July 2009.

The game is part of an ongoing series of games referred to as the Wii Series and is compatible with Wii MotionPlus, which highly improves its precision of motion capture. According to Nintendo, the sensor in the device supplements the accelerometer and Sensor Bar capabilities of the Wii Remote to enable actions to be rendered identically on the screen in real time. With this peripheral players can have much more fun. Take table-tennis as an example, instead of simple combination of left and right or up and down, they can even play curved stroke with wiggle of the wrist.

 Besides, Wii Sports Resort contains considerable types of games for everyone.
