Early last year, Capcom held a contest through their
community blog that involved gamers designing their own weapons for the
Monster Hunter Tri video game. The premise was that the winner(s) would have their weapon(s) put into the Western release of the game. Towards the end of the year, three members of the community were
crowned the winners and the Lion's Bane, Sinister Saints Switch Axe, and Tenebra were set to be included in the new release of the game. This morning the winners and gamers all over the world got their first chance to see the weapons in their full, in-game rendered glory. Each of the weapons will be obtainable by completing special Event Quests that will be announced at a later time. How cool is that?
