West release everyone? Let's goooooo
#mh4u

i now kinda assume the west is gonna skip 4 and get 4g, hopefully at the end of the year, as jap is only getting it in auntum

That new map looks pretty cool. I wonder what new monsters will be in the G version.

I am curious if they will add any new weapons, there is usually at least one addition.

And from the looks of it save data from mh4 will be transferable to mh4g as a time saver. That will be handy, but I think I'll end up making a new character anyways.

And I'll probably need to buy a new US 3ds too x.x

A early 2015 release seems excessive especially since 2014 just started. I would like it to be released maybe Nov or Dec 2014 personally. I'm just happy that we're getting MH4 in some form, plus I might expect some kind of home console version to be released down the line.

A NEW DESERT AREA
DIABLOS CONFIRMED!

Well, this is the best non-intentional birthday present I've ever gotten.

Am I the only one weirded out that this is being announced just a year after MH4? I mean, we are getting this, cool, but why this soon?

I'm guessing because the hype for MH4 is pretty big right now, the demand for more content is up so Capcom wants to deliver. While they're at it, release it in the west since it was a huge success when MH4 was released. They don't want to make the mistake they did with MH3G/MH3U and wait a couple years before localizing it, then having the game's population decrease way faster than Tri's life especially with the cost to keep the servers up. More people have a 3DS too, and the game is compatible with 2DS, so I think the sales are gonna be great. Just what I think..and because MHWF demands it!! :D

Economic reasons I suppose, like money milking. I hope this also comes out for the Wii U. Seriously, this console is doing shitty right now and needs more killer apps.

I think capcom realized wii u doesn't make profits for them.

Yeah, I think a WiiU port is highly unlikely. Luckily the online capability is there in mh4 anyways.

I wouldn't be surprised however if the next installment of MH4 ends up on PS4 or XBO. Unless the MH team has officially severed all ties with Sony.

I'm glad they'll release it but 3DS only version is a bit letdown. Logo itself look like a HD version so I was thinking they'll release simultaneously version for Wii U and 3DS like they did with 3U. It's kinda obvious they're not intrested right now in HD version because making such game for Wii U is not as profitable as for handheld.

I'm really pleased about the news but tbh I enjoy more Wii U version than 3DS of 3U (got both). Big screen vs small screen, awkward movement with CPP vs comfort with CCP etc. The same would apply to 4U probably.

The biggest problem is whether they'll release it on Wii U ever or not? Because if they'll announce it a year or half a year after 4U, I'll be pissed and feel like being forced to buy both versions again.

Capcom has MHFg/g coming out on WiiU and other platforms. Though not announcrd for the west it makes since that they would keep MH4u 3DS only and not port it to the wiiu. With another console game already coming out this year it would reduce to many profits overall.

Main thing..let's hope we get some special editions for MH4U this time. Who here wants a brand spanking new MH3DS?!

Yes you're absolutely right my friend. I totally forgot about MHFG. If they're releasing it on Wii U, it means they want 4U to stay on handhelds. Otherwise they'll simply not release MHFG and go straight to 4G HD or sth. They got all this covered.

inb4 more dumbass renames like Nibelsnarf are announced >.>

Wii u version aren't that better anyways.. Sure it looks but nicer but that's about it and people should stop saying control is bad. 3U control was fine and I am happy with it. Only thing made 3ds control hard was under water but that was to be expected.
