Tonight at a preview event, Nintendo Australia confirmed the release date for Monster Hunter Tri

Nintendo Australia last night confirmed the Australian release date for Monster Hunter Tri. The game will launch on April 29th and come in two flavours. You’ll be be able to pick up the game with a black Classic Controller Pro for $99.95 RRP or by itself for $79.95 RRP.

Nintendo also confirmed that the game will have free online play for Australians, which we pretty much assumed at this point. The Monster Hunter series is huge in Japan so we’ll wait and see just how well it does here – Nintendo seems to pushing it very hard.

We’ve gone hands-on with the game at a event recently and our write-up for the event will be up tomorrow.
