As hardcore Monster Hunter fans have already noticed, Capcom recently joined a Nintendo press conference in Japan to announce that Monster Hunter 3 will be coming to the Wii. Slashing monsters by slashing at monsters? Sign me up! IGN has streaming video of the super-short teaser that was shown during the conference, which shows off some of the environments in the game and ends with a message from Capcom’s global head of R&D, creative genius and all-around nice guy, Keiji Inafune.

Inafune addresses the crowd, saying (loosely translated) “I’m Inafune from Capcom. Today we are presenting Monster Hunter 3. This is the formal sequel to Monster Hunter Dos. All of the video you have just seen was rendered through actual Nintendo Wii hardware. The development team is working very hard to make this a great experience on the Wii, so I hope you look forward to using the Wii controller to hunt monsters to your heart’s content. Thank you very much.”
