David Gibson, Head of Software & Services for Macquarie Capital Securities Japan, has revealed via Twitter that it’s fairly unlikely that Capcom will bring Monster Huntrer Tri G for The Nintendo 3DS to the West due to below expected sales of Monster Hunter Tri on Wii.

@LiteDrg0nS1ay3R capcom keep saying its unlikely as audience not there based on the wii game
Capcom has decided to reveal the official box art for Resident Evil 6 via the Resident Evil Twitter account. Capcom has yet to confirm whether or not we will be graced with a Wii U version, but fingers are firmly crossed for an announcement. Resident Evil 6 launches on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on October 2nd.
Monolith Soft, the Nintendo-owned development studio behind the fantastic Xenoblade Chronicles, is helping develop Sega, Namco and Capcom’s Nintendo 3DS exclusive Project X Zone. The game is a 2D beat-em-up which features famous characters from the three aforementioned game studios. Fan favourites such as Ken, Ryu and Mega Man will all be making an appearance.
The latest edition of Famitsu has revealed that Capcom is working on a new Nintendo 3DS game that takes place within the Lost Planet universe. The game is titled E.X. Troopers, and is an action game from Monster Hunter series producer Shintaro Kojima. The game will reportedly feature cell shaded visuals and is in development for both PlayStation 3 and Nintendo 3DS.
A Capcom representative has told NintendoWorldReport that it won’t have any playable Nintendo related games at this years E3 event which takes place next months. The firm could announce some new titles for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, but they apparently won’t have any playable on the show floor. Of course, this could just be a misinformed Capcom representative so we will just have to wait until E3 to find out for sure.
Capcom has announced that its managed to shift over 1.6 million units of Monster Hunter Tri G for the Nintendo 3DS. The game has only been released in Japan thus far, but it’s expected to come to North America and Europe later this year. We should hopefully hear more about a Western release for Monster Hunter Tri G at E3 next month.
Polish website MWRC is reporting that we will see a new Resident Evil title for the Nintendo 3DS later this year. The new game will be titled Resident Evil: Downfall and will take place between the events of Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6. The player will control Claire Redfield who would witness the “downfall” of humanity. The game was originally announced by reputable UK publication Digital Spy but the article has since been pulled.
Capcom’s Consumer Software Senior VP Christian Svensson has told fans during a recent ‘Ask Capcom’ event that there’s still a possibility that Ace Attorney Investigations 2 for the Nintendo DS could receive a Western release. Ace Attorney Investigations 2 originally came out on the Nintendo DS in Japan on February 3rd 2011.
“[Ace Attorney Investigations 2 is] still on the possibility cards”
Shinji Mikami, the creator behind Resident Evil, has revealed his new game which is to be titled Zwei. The game is described as a survival horror title and will be developed for HD consoles. Mikami will serve as the game’s executive director, and is said to be “fully involved” in the project’s development. Hopefully we will see a glimpse of the game at E3.
Capcom will be unveiling a new project in the next issue of Japanese publication Famitsu. The secret project is teased in the current issue but there’s barely any hints regarding what it might be. Lets hope it’s something for the Nintendo 3DS.
