CNN.com: Japan’s Nintendo wins exclusive deal for Capcom’s Monster Hunter 3 title

By  •  Wii

TOKYO, Oct. 10, 2007 (Thomson Financial delivered by Newstex) — Nintendo Co Ltd, the world’s largest maker of portable game consoles, on Wednesday won an exclusive deal in which major game developer Capcom Co Ltd will supply its blockbuster Monster Hunter 3 action game title for its Wii home-use, stand-alone game machines.

The Osaka-based Capcom had previously said it was developing Monster Hunter 3 for Sony (NYSE:SNE) Computer Entertainment Inc’s PlayStation 3 game console. The company’s Monster Hunter 1 and 2 games were exclusively offered on PlayStation 2 consoles.

Capcom’s Monster Hunter series have accumulated global sales of 4.5 million copies.

‘Due to high development cost of titles for PS3, we have decided to switch the platform to which we release our Monster Hunster 3 title,’ Capcom managing corporate officer Katsuhiko Ichii said.

Nintendo has a rich title line-up for children but has few strong titles that can appeal to core game players or adults.

The announcement comes as Sony is struggling to recover its once-mighty position in the global video game market where competition has heated up since Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) launched the Xbox 360 in 2005 and Nintendo Co introduced its Wii last November.
