Monster Hunter 4

[JSR]

Spring 2013. Good! Too many games this year already.

Really? For me, there is not a single title outside of Wii U and its games that I'm eagerly looking forward to. I'll probably pick up Assassins Creed 3 and Resi 6, but I don't lose sleep over them. Can't remember last time a whole year was so devoid of exciting titles. And this is all my personal opinion of course.

I want to be excited for this but Capcom are so tight lipped about any Monster Hunter releases in the West that I just can't get hyped by the franchise anymore. Shame really as they've always been Day 1 insta-buys for me.

Im pretty sure we'll see it sometime in 2013, Capcom i think have given up on MH in the west.

Preview suggests big changes that could go either way and a Japanese release date of Spring 2013

(The June promo video said it would be out Spring 2013 dude)

And at the end of today's Nintendo Direct, Iwata told us there would be a BRAND NEW weapon type in MH4!

And here it is, the hunting insect!



Incl. big stick!

So after the hunter marks the monster, the insect will attack and remove extracts which then enhance the hunter with greater attack/defense, etc. The stick is also used for jumping, jumping attacks and other offense.

Online play confirmed! March 2013 release! (which means I have to alternate between this and the NA release of Tri U...possibly)

Game of 2013 TBFH.

Need to get some online sessions with you again. As fun as Tri G is on the 3DS it's not as fun as playing with friends on Tri for Wii.

Don't know if anyone is still playing Tri but a few of us at Sumo Digital are playing it at lunch times if anyone wants to play too?

Most disappointing, you should all be playing Monty Mole and Percy the Potty Pigeon!

I just wish they didn't have subscriptions on the J servers. Did you not get 3rdHD?

Nah, never picked up Portable 3rd HD. I didn't bring my PS3 over with me when I moved to Japan last year and by the time I finally bought one I already had Tri G on 3DS to play. I was pretty tempted to get it recently but now Tri G HD has been announced I wont bother. I barely played Portable 3rd when I got it on PSP either to be honest.

Hopefully they wont region lock the servers like with Tri and actually have the game free to play for those with the Japanese version.

Yeah I really hope that's the case. With it being a release day game in Japan I hope Capcom have been told by Nintendo not to charge.
