Awesome, thanks for that :D

and I apologize if I come off as "harsh" or "crazy", I just do that, and I do believe that I've said that around this forum before...

Some advice from me to you, don't ever take me too seriously.


I shall now bite my tongue now, and work on my tone.


apologies apologies.



hmmm...
Now that I think about it..
How will weapon progression work on this installment? o.0
Will they go for the unlock approach of Tri, the "have everything at the beginning" of Ultimate, or something else?

I have a feeling you will unlock new weapons as you travel between the towns.

Wait wait wait!!!!!! So let me see if I have this correct...


Monster hunter now has 2 Nintendo things in it?

First Bracchidiouwhich we all know is a form of Yoshi. And now the Charge axe which is a form of links Sword and Shield?

Monster Hinter really has gone system native.

I think they might be trying to subtley appease Nintendo, since that seems to be the definitive American Monster Hunter Platform, which makes sense when you think about the style of multiplayer games on other systems and the fact that Nintendo likes to break norms like that

Well.. So far it seems to be working for both Japan and The West.. In the media I have not seen this much information or hype around any other MH game (or set of games) before.

Sooooo.... Though some may not like it, it might be the platforme the series has been needing.

and who knows.... Maybe next we'll see The Legend of Mario Hunter: a Link to the past...


Any ways a slight bit back off topic.. I mean on.


With the similarity even ever so slightly with the Charge Axes, SnS mode to Links Sword and shiels has any one also noticed the similarities to the bug that comes with the bug staff and:

Spoiler:

I'm just saying.... yoshi.. Master sword and shield... bug weapon.. warp pipe.

I can't even describe how much I'm awkwardly smiling at these similarities.

Yessss....

As Switch Axe was one of the most awesome weapons in Tri, I'm really looking forward for this Charger Axe! Not a huge fan of SnS though, but weapons that transform is SUGOI indead

In this new trailer we finally see Charge Axe in action. Looks pretty sick imho. Charge attack on Tigrex is even capable of inflicting KO. Scary /scar/

is that khezu i saw there? yes it was <3

Wyverns that are more snake-like than quadrapods... interesting. And aside from the undead (virus) flagship monster, it seems like there is a nice tease at the end ^_^.

Correct me if I am wrong... but isn't this releasing about 1 month after MH3U? I will play them simultaneously, but... it is a real dilema where my offline time will go... but a dilema I am happy to have.

I am TOTALLY practicing Sword and shield now JUST so I can prepare to play that Charge Axe. SO COOL!

MonHun 4 DEMO! PLEASE COME SOON!
