CAPCPOM!!!!! (shakes fist!)

Actually I wasn't really expecting much from this considering the continual stream of disappointment that Capcom have been providing for the last couple of years. Ah well, if this really is the scoop, it's back to waiting for TGS.

 

[darkside31337]

This might be the worst scoop in the history of scoops.

 

[Jackpot]

Famitsu is teasing an exclusive Capcom scoop for next week's issue. And not just any Capcom scoop. The magazine calls the scoop "amazing."

LIES.

 

[GSR]

Haha, welp. Maybe next week or the week after we'll get some Ace Attorney stuff.

 

[Oersted]

wut?

 

[Kafel]

So far it smells like ass for an issue leading to TGS.

 

[Charoncaori]

I thought it would be a new MH weapon reveal.

If they'd only confirm localization plans...

 

[Spieler Eins]

This might be the worst scoop in the history of scoops.

Even more so for a major magazine like Famitsu, lol.
A new standard for ,,underwhelming'' is set.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

And yall will deal. *creating thread*

 

[Mpl90]

I refuse to believe this was the Amazing Capcom scoop. I simply refuse.

 

[Diggeh]

WHAT A SCOOP (New Monster Hunter 4 Weapon: Hunting Insect)

 

[Takao]

What is with Japan lately? Crafts & Meisters put up a teaser countdown clock ... for a new version of their site, the TWEWY iOS troll, and this, bwahahaha.

 

[Tenki]

...

 

[sleepykyo]

That's it? I get that Monster Hunter is huge over there, but damn.

 

[Azure Dream]

Do we blame Capcpom for this? It's really Famitsu's fault for hyping it up...

 

[Dusk Golem]

Surprise, surprise.

Insect Hunting is indeed a great turn-about for an 'amazing' reveal.

God, magazines need to really stop pre-hyping these 'big' scoops. They almost always turn into something extremely mind-boggling underwhelming. Who at Famitsu got the information about bug hunting, and thought to themselves, 'This is an AMAZING scoop!"

 

[slaughterking]

Do we blame Capcpom for this? It's really Famitsu's fault for hyping it up...

Let's blame everyone but us.

 

[leatherhat]

I uh...

mmm hmmm

 

[GSR]

God, magazines need to really stop pre-hyping these 'big' scoops. They almost always turn into something extremely mind-boggling underwhelming. Who at Famitsu got the information about bug hunting, and thought to themselves, 'This is an AMAZING scoop!"

Nobody. What they did think is, "TGS is in a few weeks. If we put 'amazing' as our tease, it doesn't matter what the scoop actually is."

They'll sell tickets to the hype train as long as we're willing to buy them.

 

[LiK]

a fucking weapon

 

[Qurupeke]

I'll blame the insect.

 

[Mpl90]

I repeat it can't be just this, there must be something else Nothing else from Famitsu has leaked so far except for ToX2 and MH4 news.

 

[near]

Lol at everyone who expected more from Capcom.

 

[GuardianE]

AMAZING

 

[Seven Force]

That being said, it's almost certainly going to be something disappointing.

Tempered expectations really do help in the long run.

Pretty sure this was teased in the last Nintendo Direct.

 

[Liamario]

Hilarious end to the thread to be fair.

 

[AgentChris]

 

[fates]

These kind of "announcements" really

Spoiler

bug

me.

 

[raven777]

wait, MH4's hunting insect was the scoop??

 

[ezekial45]

Shouldn't we be blaming Famitsu for selling this as an AMAZING scoop? Then again, it probably is amazing, considering the Japanese market is so in love MH.

 

[Code_Link]

LAWL

 

[VideoMan]

 

[KingJ2002]

fool me once... fool me twice...

 

[Order]

Hahahahhahahaha

 

[slightconfuse]

lol capcom cant catch a break

 

[ScreenSplitter]

Between Square Enix and Capcom, we are all getting seriously trolled the past week...

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Shouldn't we be blaming Famitsu for selling this as an AMAZING scoop? Then again, it probably is amazing, considering the Japanese market is so in love MH.

Let's just blame everyone in Japan and call it a day.

 

[SUPARSTARX]

That's it???????????

 

[RichardAM]

You know, that cereal crossover title would've been fucking amazing compared to this. Godly even

 

[Father_Brain]

Uh, the same Japanese blog Anoop is sourcing is reporting that the issue might reveal AA5 for 3DS. Seems to be unconfirmed, from what little I can make out.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Well, the bug was the second best thing in Skyward Sword.

 

[ohlawd]

Did someone call for me?

lmao Capcom has done it again!

 

[SykoTech]

Start your hype machine, and set it to exactly one week! Famitsu is teasing an exclusive Capcom scoop for next week's issue. And not just any Capcom scoop. The magazine calls the scoop "amazing."

 

[Famassu]

Wasn't this magazine supposed to have info on Capcom's games like MH4, that Lost Planet 3DS/PS3 spin-off etc. So this can't be the AMAZINGGUUUUUU news?

Right?

 

[Seven Force]

On the flipside, the Xillia 2 news sounds kind of rad. Nice to see character quests coming back.

 

[Mpl90]

No, really, if this results being the Amazing Scoop they teased, it's all Famitsu's fault.

 

[ironcreed]

 

[lordfroakie]

I'll quote this so everyone can see it

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

 

[Anth0ny]

If you actually got your hopes up, you deserve the disappointment.

This is Capcpom we're talking about here. And Famitsu. Good God.
