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.

WHO’S MAKING GAMES FOR NINTENDO SYSTEMS? EVERYONE!

Nintendo Unveils its Incredible Lineup of Games for the Holidays and Beyond

REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 11, 2007 – Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ continue to appeal to every kind of consumer. As Nintendo’s list of upcoming games demonstrates, Nintendo has a game or experience for everyone, no matter their taste, age or video game playing acumen. Wii games like Super Mario Galaxy™ anchor Nintendo’s lineup for the holidays, as Wii adds games faster than any other system in this generation. For Nintendo DS, Flash Focus™: Vision Training in Minutes a Day and Master of Illusion™ again will make people think of video gaming in a whole new way.

“Because of Wii and Nintendo DS momentum, third-party publishers are supporting our systems like never before,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. “Their lineup of diverse games is testament to how we make the population of gamers a little bigger every day.”

Major publishers worldwide are making games for Wii and Nintendo DS. Shoppers will find dozens of options through the holiday shopping season and into 2008. By the end of 2007, the library of Wii games is expected to grow to 140, not counting nearly 200 downloadable Virtual Console™ titles, while the Nintendo DS library should be nearly 450. The following is a partial list of the upcoming games for Wii and Nintendo DS. Note that game titles and launch dates are subject to change.
