Monster Hunter Tri

Here are two quotes from Capcom's forums relating to Monster Hunter Tri for Wii. This Capcom employee has seen the game behind closed doors!!!

Sure he does not say much, but it is all we have until probably TGS or possibly earlier at E3 if we are lucky!

1. Is Monster Hunter 3 running on the MT engine (is that even compatible on the Wii?), or a brand new, Wii specific engine?

2. Is Capcom doing a RE4 and will push the Wii to the absolute limits for MH3? Most consider RE4, Zelda TP, and Factor 5's games to have pushed the GameCube the most. Hopefully MH3 follows suit on the Wii.

3. Any idea what MH3's targeted framerate is? Any chance of it being 60 frames? Or at least 30 without any hiccups?

I have some technical mumbo jumbo questions:

5. How much memory did RE4 take up on the GameCube's disc, and how much did RE4: WE take up on the Wii?

6. How much of the GameCube's power (in percentage) did RE4 use? And how much did the game use on the Wii? Since they're the same graphically (minus the true 16:9 on the Wii), this should show how much more the Wii can be pushed than the GameCube, at least in percentage comparison.

7. Any chance of MH3 showing up at Captivate? Or will it be closer (or even at) TGS? Or once again at October or whenever Nintendo's big media event will take place like last year at the game's unveiling?

8. Or do you know what month we can expect news of MH3 to pop-up? Either at some event or in Famitsu or something?

Thanks!

Not deliberately avoiding any questions so much as there's just no new MH3 news to share at this time. The questions fall into an exciting range of "can't tell you/don't quite make sense/don't know"

I can say I saw an a non-final build when I was in Osaka recently and it already looks amazing, but can't answer any of your specifics.

sorry,
Seth

I think my favorite part was being shown a piece of super-cool concept art that had me going "wow, that would be awesome, blah blah blah." Then 15 minutes later, with no fanfare, they showed me that it's actually already in the game. Totally stellar.

best,
Seth
