Nintendo and Capcom's Monster Hunter Tri Partners SCI FI as Channel Evolves to SYFY
LONDON, March 26, 2010-- Universal Networks International has today announced a partnership
between SCI FI and Nintendo and Capcom's Monster Hunter Tri game, which will
run throughout April as the channel transforms to Syfy.
The partnership will see the top selling game sponsor the UK Premiere of
the epic fantasy adventure LEGEND OF THE SEEKER season 2 on Thursdays at 8pm
with specially created 15'' openers, 5'' breakbumpers and 10'' closers.
In addition, the partnership will cover the Monday Night Movie strand
throughout April, the Creatures vs Monsters movies stunt, which runs from
26th-28th March, and episodes of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER between 26th March
and the end of April.
During the period the channel transforms to Syfy as part of the global
evolution of SCI FI. The channel launches at 10pm on Tuesday 13th April with
the UK premiere of V, the visually stunning reimagining of the groundbreaking
invasion miniseries. The following evening (10pm) sees the UK premiere of the
high-octane drama HUMAN TARGET.
SCI FI will launch its HD service on Virgin in early April - meaning both
Sky and Virgin customers will be able to watch the channel in glorious High
Definition.
"As SCI FI becomes Syfy and evolves into a brand which further embraces
imagination and innovation, we're delighted to have such a strategically
perfect partner on board," said James Newton, UK Head of Channels, Universal
Networks International.
"Given the sense of adventure which features in LEGEND OF THE SEEKER,
Nintendo - and specifically Monster Hunter Tri - is obviously a brand which
will resonate brilliantly with our viewers."
Rob Lowe, Marketing Manager, Nintendo UK commented; "We're delighted to
be working alongside SCI FI for the launch of Monster Hunter Tri, we hope to
excite Sci Fi fans across the UK with this epic new title available
exclusively on Wii."
