I just went through wikipedia and found some information about the release of the game being....
First off I knew this game was being planned for release in 2009 early, they were gunning for next month but put it off for Q1 2009, I'm just a little perplexed by wikipedia... they are saying that US and JP share a release date for Monster Hunter Tri... no mention of EU sorry. (Probably 2012)
Can anyone confirm this, honestly I want to believe the US will see this game at the same time as Japan but I've lived long enough to know about things that are too good to be true.
I haven't found a single source outside of wiki that is pegging a US release to any period of time, just that it's coming. Japan is supposed to see this in Q1 2009 though.
