As we all know, Japan is pretty bonkers about Monster Hunter. The series is one of the country's most popular video game franchises, and after the amazing commercial success of Monster Hunter 4 on the 3DS, Japanese fans are getting an improved version in the form of Monster Hunter 4G (known as Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate here in the west).
In order to build up the hype in the Land of the Rising Sun — as if that were needed — there's a special Monster Hunter themed Nintendo Direct being broadcast this week — October 8th (13:00 CET / 07:00 ET), to be precise.
What could we see during this video? New monsters? New features? New crossovers, perhaps? Speculate to your heart's content in the comments section below.

I'd love for a NA Nintendo direct for MH4U or any other game sometime soon! Seems we haven't had one for quite sometime. Regardless, I'm excited for this direct and can't wait to see more of this game.
I'm not into monster hunter.....just isn't for me basically.
We are getting more promotional Directs than Nintendo ones. We didn't get a translation of last month's jp Nintendo Direct
Okay Nintendo...these game-specific directs are cool and all, but can we have a full-scale global one soon? these smaller ones are getting kind of old.
Monster Hunter is a great game , though I started at MH3U first , but I wonder what kind of game are the succession will be
NOOOO!
Judging by their track record I knew they had to announce a Direct for this week. Not only is is it game specific but it is not even Global, Sigh.
This local Direct can be traditionally shocking. We can hear about 4DS or new 3DS coming this year in Antarctic.
@xInsomniax there was one for beyonetta 2 last month, but I miss the regular Nintendo Directs... I think part of the reason for not having one is because of Iwata's health problems. (I think he said something about that in the Japanese Nintendo Direct a little while ago)
Nitwits.
@yokokazuo I figured he'd be all healed up by now. He hosted the last Japan direct.
Disappointing download week, disappointing Direct for me.
I need this game ported to the WiiU. I can't play on my 3ds for 4 hours continually. Didn't 3U sell equally well between the two platform's in the U.S.? The WiiU can use another title to its library. C'Mon man!!!
@shigulicious If they did that again then I would feel obligated to buy both. I think I have over 100 hours in both games and love the transfer option! Maybe just maybe for the west they will consider it or are working on it and just not saying anything!
Seems like Nintendo is now the black sheep though and the U is being left to Nintendo only now.
And the game-specific Direct trend continues. Makes me quite sad.
So maybe a release date on the new 3DS
Maybe japan is getting a wiiu port!! then we will get it in 2 years!!
I want a general Direct D:
I feel old for getting that reference xD
The Automatic anyone? Nice quote, nice song
When are we going to get a real direct here in the states? Seriously, the only one we've had since E3 is the hyrule warriors one.
WiiU version or its a no go. Tried it with Smash, and it's not for me.
Oh, you referenced Monster by The Automatic. I love you.
@Mega719 Australia did!
@Grumblevolcano i was mostly talking about NA and EU
