Capcom’s announced its shipped 1 million units of Monster Hunter 3G in Japan. The 3DS version of the 2010 Wii online RPG launched on December 10, selling 471,055 units in its first week. The series as a whole since its PS2 debut in 2004 has now sold 20 million units. The next main MH installment, Monster Hunter 4, will launch on 3DS, although when exactly is to be confirmed.

Thanks, Andriasang.

Based on retailer sources, Andriasang reports Capcom will have 420,000 copies of Monster Hunter 3G ready for launch in Japan on December 10. 100,000 will be shipped as Slide Pad bundles, and 20,000 in 3DS system bundles.

Monster Hunter Tri sold more than 800,000 copies on Wii, and over 4 million units on PSP even before a recent PSP The Best budget re-release. Even the HD PS3 version managed 287,829 sales in its debut week. Capcom expects this fourth version to manage another 1.5 million sales. Retailers expect demand to exceed the initial shipping.

Official Nintendo Magazine has reported an estimated fall 2012 release date for Monster Hunter 3G in Europe. The news was posted via a scan of the magazine spotted online by both GoNintendo – which confirmed its accuracy – and Monster Hunter Wikia. Capcom has previously hinted at possibly localizing it for the western market, but beyond the hints, extra information hasn’t been provided. We’ll send a mail. Thanks, Gematsu.

Capcom has stated in an FAQ on its support site that Monster Hunter 3G will not have an online co-op mode. It will instead use ad hoc wireless play with nearby Nintendo 3DS systems. Players will still be able to access the Internet to download event quests. Capcom has hinted it will localize the game in the west, but has yet to confirm any details on the matter. Thanks, Kotaku.

Japanese pre-orders have opened for the 3DS’s Monster Hunter 3G-centric second circle pad attachment. The peripheral goes on sale on December 10 alongside the new game, and fetches ¥1,500 – about $20.

Still no word from Nintendo as to when we’ll see the add-on in the West, although Capcom has hinted it will localise Monster Hunter 3G.

Thanks, Engadget.
