Monster Hunter Tri is coming to Wii this year, and Nintendo has dropped some fresh details about the Capcom-published dinosaur massacre sim. The game will be coming with FREE online play in North America, eschewing the subscription fees that currently afflict the Japanese version of the game. You won't have to pay to steal eggs with your friends. Result!
The game will be compatible with WiiSpeak, and there will also be a demo coming. The demo won't will only be obtainable from GameStop however, on an exclusive disc that the US retailer will be offering from March 8. If you never want to step foot inside a GameStop, don't worry. The full game, with a Classic Controller bundle, will be released in North America on April 20!
Get ready to slaughter some innocent reptiles!

Does this mean free online in Europe too?
And I'm super psyched for this game. Pre-ordered the classic pro bundle. 500 MS pts PLUS a demo and -5$ is amazing.
You mean APRIL 20th Jim
Oops, yes I do. Sorry, info is flying thick n' fast here!
Sucks though, I was hoping the Gamestop posting of April 6th was going to be the release date.
I wouldn't doubt they'll want to require a pre-order, but this being news from the Nintendo summit, I doubt they're going into detail of how Gamestop is choosing to distribute it.
Unless Capcom specifically tells them to give it out (Which they should to try and get as many people in on this as possible) I doubt it'll be given out freely.
FFFFFFFFFFFF
After all, it is 2010 and this technology stuff isn't really space age any more.

Kinda feel bad for the Japanese who have to pay in fairy money, but then again, they do have a better player base.
