Monster Hunter 3 (tri-) is the third console installment in the popular Monster Hunter franchise scheduled for release for the Wii. The title was initially scheduled for release on the PlayStation 3 but was announced to have been moved to the Wii during Nintendo's Fall 2007 Conference "due to high development cost of titles for PS3". A trailer of the game was also shown during the same event. It was also announced that a demo is being released only in Japan as an addition with the Monster Hunter G Pack on the 23rd of April 2009. Although there isn't any news on an exact release date of Monster Hunter 3, it is being released in Japan in Summer 2009. Capcom has also stated that it wishes to release its leading franchises (including Monster Hunter) into the western market.

• According to a recent interview with game producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, while each weapon class will be updated with new moves and innovations, the number of weapon classes will be stripped down from ten to seven. Weapon classes included will be Sword and Shield, Great Sword, Hammer, Bowgun (Light, Medium & Heavy), Lance, Katana (Longsword), and the new Slash Axe (Polearm). This means that Hunting Horns, Gunlances, Longbows, and possibly Dual Swords will be omitted.[6]
