It's almost as good as the hammer as a melee weapon, but more complex to use because of the melodies. It's a great weapon in general and a godsend in multiplayer hunts.

My friend was the one who's weapon won for the US design contest, The Clockwork Contraption.
Im excited to use it, but I'm more of a light bowgun guy myself. I uh actually haven't really seen much of anything about this game purposefully to surprise myself, but is it possible to get the Rathian gun? I really like the pink on it and am still kind of leveling it up in MH3U. That was my first game, so im kind of new to how it translates over into new games.

Rathian is in the game. Rathian and Rathalos are the only two monsters to appear in every MH game.

Aww yiss. Pink everything. Pink everywhere.
Well there's an even cooler lightbow in MH4U where you are able to reload by rolling/sidestep....

Went to the eshop to load up some cash to buy MH4, since I have majora's mask LE coming tomorrow, and I love the music they are playing on the eshop right now. Nice touch, Nintendo!
It's a little weird, though. The Rathian LBG used to have its own long upgrade line, but it looks like it now branches off from the Rathalos LBG instead - whereas the Rathian HBG looks about the same as before.
You'll probably love this game.
The horn is great. Longer reach than the hammer, ridiculous mobility, no need to worry about weapon bouncing, and some very useful buffs. You will be loved in multiplayer and it's not exactly a slouch in single player either.

I'll have the New 3DS XL tomorrow to check accurately. In the meantime, I do have Duraflex and crystal hard case and they do fit. I'll post here when I do the new 3DS XL in my hands.

Just 1 more day for me man I can't wait to collect all those bowguns and armors!
I'm such a gun fanatic.

By the sounds of it, at least improved. Multiple villages, more narrative and cutscenes etc.

What's the character limit for names in 4U?
Hell, anything is better than using the set responses. Is there a way in any of those programs to set up a big group that everyone could log into? I know in Mumble and Vent you can just log onto the server and choose a room for grouping up. How do LINE and Skype handle it? Same basic principle?
I'll read up on Skype and figure out if I can set up a group or anything. I seriously haven't used the program since 2007.

Guys, I'm so excited for more MH. I can't believe it's finally here.
The Hunting Horn is one of my favorite weapon types. It's completely viable for solo play too. Once you are comfortable with your weapon's songs and the flow of your weapon's attacks - oh, god - it's just so damn fun banging around a monster all the while playing songs/queuing up more buffs.

Whoops. That's fixed now.
Nargacuga armor is in the game.

Has it been confirmed a midnight release?
Anyone know?
no, unfortunately
Thanks.
I don't remember seeing that set in the JP version.
You can do filtering to search for quest/monsters that you would like to hunt. Or you can set conditions for your room and wait for people to join in.

seriously considering taking out a short term loan just so I can play it day 1 rather than wait a month. I don't want to be so far behind the rest of the pack

I'm quite happy about it to be honest, this series deserves more attention in the west
Weapon types in MH are kind of like characters in a fighting game, pick the one you like and learn its moveset. The game isn't about memorizing complex combos, rather you need to focus on safely and consistently hitting the right parts of the monster. What are the right parts? Well, if you're bouncing off, that's probably not the right part.
When a large monster spots you, your character's run animation (while your weapon is sheathed) changes a little. It'll look like a silly panic run when you run away from the monster, but the important thing is if you dodge during this run animation you do a 'superman dive'. This dive has a very long animation that is mostly invulnerable, so while it looks silly it's amazing for dodging attacks that would be otherwise unavoidable.
Drooling = tired monster. It will have slower attacks and be generally easier to fight, traps and such will be more effective. It will try to escape and eat to regain stamina.
Limping = almost dead monster. It will try to escape and sleep to regain health. Once it's limping, you can catch it in a trap and throw two tranquilizer bombs to capture (often better chance for rare rewards). I dunno if MH4 has capture-only quests but if it does, bring extra traps and tranqs before going in.
Treat it almost like a turn-based game, be patient. For example if you need to heal - back off and wait for an attack, dodge then chug your potion as the monster is charging away. Then wait for another attack before going back in. As long as you don't get greedy and try to do too much between monster attacks, you should be able to avoid getting mauled. It's going to happen anyways, though - MH isn't easy but it's worth the effort.
I think the possibility of a eShop midnight release is slim at this point, with no official word anywhere. Majora's Mask confirmed for midnight sure, but not MonHun.
I'm basically just telling myself that so I won't be extra disappointed when it doesnt happen
I'm still hoping for midnight release. I reallllllyy dont want to have to run around town trying to find a hard copy tonight/tmorrow
