The hype is real. I really love threads like this.

Hope whoever this is didn't buy a New 3DS. Wrong SD Card. ;_;

I always love seeing people line up for stuff for some reason.

Downloading MH4G off the eShop is sorta like waiting in a line...

Zenaku · Oct 10, 2014

It supports Miiverse screens? Is that on normal 3DS/LL or only New 3DS? Cause vanilla 4 reboots the system and disables the browser/miiverse just like Smash.

I'm only around 50% done on downloading the game. =[

samuraidino · Oct 10, 2014

Doesn't look like there'l be any need for the Forza crowd to show up there...

Monster Hunter really is just a force of nature over there.Everytime i see those big sales numbers I always get the urge to give them a try.

Sammy Samusu · Oct 10, 2014

Dude bought the ultra expensive Nintendo SD Card, lol.

Most likely New 3DS only, much like Smash Bros.

People in Japan line up for stuff, all's right with the world.

Get coin, Capcom/Nintendo.

this makes me happy, some things never change.

Japan's Call of Duty!

J/K

I miss the days when they lined up for DQ.

Don't Laugh · Oct 10, 2014

does the '2.6 GB' at the top of the box mean that the game installs that much data to the SD card?

Yep
(To clarify: this is a download code voucher thing, not a retail copy)

Yeah its 2.6 GBs.

Out of curiosity, how popular is ordering online in Japan?

In their defense, "Monster Hunter DL" was trending in Japan, some people were waiting for it to show up on the eShop.

I love when Japan lines up for videogames

Veldin · Oct 11, 2014

I envy them quite a bit. Waiting for the western release hurts.

ArtHands · Oct 11, 2014

Lol
MH4U is showing its vita clones how this should be done.

FZZ · Oct 11, 2014

Sales next week are gonna be Gucci.

Tempesta di Fuoco · Oct 11, 2014

So does anyone know if the New 3DS XL fits with that Cyber Grip? I am most definitely getting a New 3DS XL when it's released, but I've gotten spoiled by the Cyber Grip of the Gods.

Do not exactly want to get the new 3DS XL until this is confirmed or there's a New 3DS XL version of the Cyber Grip released.

Well MH4 had about 250K downloads, perhaps due to shortages, so it's possible we could get good DL #s for 4G.

How are they clones?

Please tell me how Gods Eater,Soul Sacrifice, Toukiden and Freedom Wars are like Monster Hunter.

I wish the n3DS launched this year in the US, darn region lock :/

Mailenstein · Oct 11, 2014

No lines at all here Fukuoka - anywhere I have been.

And btw. I popped in my reformatted 64GB microSDXC card and it just runs fine. So you are ready to go big if you wish to do so!

Uh, have you played them?

I like God Eater and Toukiden (Soul Sacrifice blows and I haven't played Freedom Wars), but they are 100% Monster Hunter clones.

sameoldstranger · Oct 11, 2014

Damn that region lock,
I need a new 3ds xl,
Now

Has Japan ever lined up for any non-3DS games? Seems like 3DS games is the only thing there breaking a million.

Umm... Yeah? Or else I wouldn't be making that claim. They have the same elements, like gathering materials etc. But they play way differently. What you're saying is like saying every military shooter is a CoD clone when they aren't. These MH clone comments are annoying.

Lately? No.

Pokemon Black2/White2 released in 2012 on DS is the only non-3DS game released since the start of 2011 to sell over a million. 2010 had two million sellers on Wii, several on DS, and MH on PSP.

Wii U has Super Mario Bros U but it reached a million over a long period of time and through bundles, thus no lines of course.

I really hope NoA bring the SNES button colors here. I want them so badly.

I'd double dip for that. Based lavender and purple.

OMG, what if XY were concave?

When a game comes out that defines a new genre (whether or not it is actually the first in the genre is not very important, it definitely has to be the most popular one to date, though), the other games in that genre that immediately follow it are often derisively termed "clones". I remember the same thing in the early 90s with Street Fighter 2 and the large number of fighting games that followed. After awhile, as the number of games in the genre increases and sufficient time passes after the definer's release, the "clone" talk dies down. It's all very silly, of course.

Streetpasses, streetpasses everywhere! Just great. Looking forward to read some impressions from the game and the new 3ds!

MONSTER HUNTER!

really hope this series continues to well. I love it so much. Nothing else quite like it out there.

Pictures in this thread made me go and preorder the white New 3DS. If only we were getting MH4G at the same time here in Australia

ohlawd · Oct 11, 2014

sometimes, Japan likes to prove it isn't such a shithole when it comes to games.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
