Thanks Aria

This Fall I assume?

I wonder if they will just bring this over instead.

 

[fredrancour]

Wow. Were the announcements always this soon after the previous release?

Also suddenly I have a feeling that non-japan regions are getting 4g but not 4.

 

[Arla]

Yea, just caught this randomly. I got on YouTube and saw Capcom Channel live streaming some event and bam, MH4G. Great way to end my night after watching the god awful Man of Steel movie.

 

[Hero of Legend]

That was quick! 3DS only I assume?

That's what I'm expecting.

Now that you mention it this is kinda bullshit for the people who bought the original release.

Yes and Yes.

 

[Arla]

The teaser was definitely 3DS.

 

[Cipherr]

Isn't the other one still selling? Jesus... License to print money.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Any mention of platform? I hope it comes to Vita. The 3G games were all on PSP weren't they?

 

[cvxfreak]

3DS, Fall 2014, MH4 save data will carry over.

 

[Waylon Drums]

I'm dying to play MH4. I'd love an HD/3D dual release again.

 

[Parakeetman]

lol that was fast.

at least its allowing for data transfer. Now the next question is just how much new content will be included. One thing for sure is they need more damned maps. 4 was seriously lacking in that category.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Yes and Yes.

3G was announced in Sept 2011 along with MH4, TWO YEARS after MH3 came out on Wii, granted Portable 3rd on PSP was in between but still.

What about Portable 2nd and 2ndG?

 

[jbug617]

Yes it's 3DS

@cvxfreak: MH4G only announced for 3DS, MH4 save data will carry over.

 

[ugoo18]

That was quick! 3DS only I assume?

Why would you assume that, Capcom were very happy with the performance of MH Tri Ultimate.

EDIT: Guess you were right, i really don't want to have to buy an XL just for MH. I'm happy with my OG 3DS.

 

[Cipherr]

Any mention of platform? I hope it comes to Vita. The 3G games were all on PSP weren't they?

I uhhh.. Wouldn't count on many major titles for WiiU or Vita in Japan man.

@cvxfreak: MH4G only announced for 3DS, MH4 save data will carry over.

Hah, trying not to cut the knees off of the current game I see.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

What's the difference between regular and G versions again?

 

[Toki767]

Monster Hunter seems to come out every year now.

 

[DJIzana]

I take it this will likely be the Monster Hunter we'll get if any, since we got Monster Hunter 3G. I wonder if the Wii U one is also being made... anything commented there?

 

[Nirolak]

That's what I'm expecting.



Now that you mention it this is kinda bullshit for the people who bought the original release.

By this point I think anyone buying Monster Hunter expects this and buys knowing the situation.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Capcom needs more money to fund their mobile projects, don't they?

Anyhoo, I'm hyped for this.

 

[Arla]

Monster Hunter seems to come out every year now.

Not in the west.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Continuing to print money!

Hope they port this to Vita for old times sake. In any case I'm interested to see how this version sells on 3DS.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Yes it's 3DS

As expected. I assume Monster Hunter 4G HD is around the corner for Wii U, maybe later this year it'll be announced, 3G HD was announced a year after it was unveiled on 3DS.

 

[toastyToast]

I'm assuming they're going to skip straight to 4G here. Hopefully it won't take too long to make its way over.

 

[Nirolak]

What's the difference between regular and G versions again?

It's like an expansion pack integrated into the base game as a new cartridge since DLC wasn't always as workable of a concept.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

What's the difference between regular and G versions again?

G rank quest, new sets etc.

 

[isual]

just wait for when they announce monster hunter 5, and then buy the last version of 4 .

 

[Parakeetman]

Why would you assume that, Capcom were very happy with the performance of MH Tri Ultimate.

EDIT: Guess you were right, i really don't want to have to buy an XL just for MH. I'm happy with my OG 3DS.

Once you go XL you never go back to OG.

 

[cafemomo]

its over

the 3ds truly won

 

[Arla]

Continuing to print money!

Yea I remember playing MonHun on Vita way back when.

 

[michaelius]

I uhhh.. Wouldn't count on many major titles for WiiU or Vita in Japan man.

Correct on Wii U. Wrong on Vita unless You are speaking about Capcom only

 

[qq more]

I wonder if this is why we're waiting so long for any official localization news... Please localize this Capcom!

My wishful localizations news aside, didn't MH4 just came out some months ago?? Sounds a bit too soon.

 

[Yagharek]

Careful.

Anyway, hoping this gets a pal localisation. It's been a while.

 

[Waylon Drums]

Yea I remember playing MonHun on Vita way back when.

The dual analogs really made it work perfectly.

 

[Comandr]

YESSSS!!!!

"...3DS only. Please understand."

FFFFFFFFF

 

[Qurupeke]

So, I guess this will be the version that will come here.

 

[mineskiller]

Yesss! I'm excited!

 

[Beats]

Localizations side, didn't MH4 just came out some months ago?? Sounds a bit too soon.

It came out in September if I remember correctly.

 

[ugoo18]

Once you go XL you never go back to OG.

Only reason i haven't jumped yet is i'm not sure how complete the transfer system is and there isn't any particular game (Apart from MH) that seems to really need the extra screen space.

Does it essentially make a copy of all of the data on one 3DS (Including things like friends and activity log for example) and copy it over to the new 3DS?

I really don't want to sit there entering all my friends again.

 

[AniHawk]

monster hunter 4g to fund 4g monster hunter

 

[Sandfox]

By this point I think anyone buying Monster Hunter expects this and buys knowing the situation.

I still feel that they should've waited a bit longer after New Years.

its over

the 3ds truly won

This was truly the tipping point.

 

[MisterHero]

Will this affect the price of MH4 now? Or should people just wait for the new version?

 

[Arla]

Port begging and 3DS whining already. There's a mod posting here, there should be a warning at least. Otherwise this threads gonna go to shit real fast.

 

[benny_a]

Careful.

Discussing ports is not against the ToS or posting guidelines. Annoying posts are.
Ports get discussed all the time, I guess now with everything being multiplatform except when funded by a platform holder they have decided it's fair game.

Discussing ports and port begging are two completely different things.

Port begging is not against the ToS or guidelines either. Annoying posts as the ones we're having about moderation are. I'm out!

 

[Toki767]

Will this affect the price of MH4 now? Or should people just wait for the new version?

Since saves carry over, it's probably safe to play MH4 for the next 8-9 months before this comes out.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Why are people so shocked? Common Capcom practice for years now. Sf4, Marvel, Dragon's Dogma, Resi 5 etc.

Trust me for pretty much everything the larger space makes a diff with causing less eye strain. Its a worthy investment. I still do have 1 3DSes normals and 2 3DS XLs and have not gone back to the normals at all yet. Reason for the 2 XLs is got one at launch the other is the Airu White MH special ver.
