Capcom Continues to Go Big With a Monster Hunter X Limited Edition and New Trailers

I'm still on the fence about this. Looks good but it's not main series so I'm not quite sure how to take it. Will definitely keep an eye on it especially if it gets a western release.

Dual must be nerfed.

I just got MH3U. Let's see if I can dive into the series so I might give these a chance in a near future.

'if' this gets localized. Jeez it's like Capcom don't want our money or something.

For MH4U I was mainly using the hammer. Close up the Great Sword, and alternatively the Switch-Axe. If this games comes to europe, and if it turns out to be as good as the main series, I think I will main Hunting Horn this time =)

Nice bag, looks like our Major's Mask messenger bag.

I just can't get into that gameplay, seems just to slow and grounded to me. I remember playing the Onimusha series on PS2 and really enjoying just standing there swatting people. Then Genji came out, and I was jumping all over the place - even on roof tops! I can't go back to slow. DmC also helped see to that. And Bayonetta.

Unless this is coming to Wii U, I will be sticking to MH3U. I am only just now getting to H-Rank in Moga Village and HR 2 in the other town. I think I will be able to hold out until the NX hits and the eventual copy of MH lands there.

@Spoony_Tech Actually the developers have said that is IS a main series Monster Hunter game.

I played MH3U on the Wii U for 300 hours straight. I really hope the 4th entry will see the light on Wii U as well.

What do you guys think? Is there a chance?

@Aneira pretty much zero chance of this given the install base. When MH3 hit, there was still an outside chance of the Wii U shifting units. Capcom like to ensure any big releases are going to sell a couple of million

@CTMike

Ok thanks. I'll never buy a handheld though. Not in a million years.

@Aneira NX could be a good shout for MH (depending on what it actually is)

I played MH3 on Wii for over 400 hours right up till the servers went off. I'm still waiting on one coming to the Wii U (I didn't have time to invest in MH3U as there's not enough more content) and I don't have the new 3DS to play any of the handheld games (too hard to play to not have the second stick). Here's hoping they make a launch release for the NX if they don't!

3DS , the best console of this generation by far.

Is it just me or do the effects (when you attack a monster) look kinda weird and not right? >.>

@MrGuinea
The 3DS XL with a CPP is as comfy as a Pro Controller, and solves the dual stick problem. And the New 3DS C-stick isn't good for precision aiming like FPS, but is more than adequate for MH4U. I played 400 hours using the new 3DS XL. Highly recommend.

That bag looks very nice, but it's not enough for me to want the limited edition. If there was a soundtrack cd with it as well, then I'd be really tempted to get the LE. Still, I'll definitely order the standard version if it gets released in the West.

Man cant wait for this to release in the US. To bad 3ds are Region Locked.

@Spoony_Tech This is most definitely a main series title. Even the developers said so. Plus it follows the same trends as most other main entries, other than the fact that they are reusing some previous locales in addition to the new ones. In fact, the only reason why they didn't name it MH5 is due to the fact that X has four quadrants that it creates, and considering they have four areas, plus four new showcase monsters, Capcom said they wanted to go with X instead of 5.

@Jayvir So is this game online then as in 4 players multiplayer. I just assumed because of the title is was a spin off series.

@Spoony_Tech yep. Standard fare Monster Hunter 4 player online multiplayer

Well I guess I missed the boat on this one and didn't see it as mainline. Well now I want it and hope we don't have to wait for an ultimate version again.

That's a great limited edition, I'd get it if there were any chance it released in NA. Love how the new weapons work in this entry.

I just don't feel it for this game. It feels way too flashy for a monster hunter game.

I like the new super move mechanic being added to all weapons instead of just one like the charge blade in mh4u. It adds a sense of power to the characters. As if they would actually stand a chance against giant monsters with their armor and weapons. Also being able to jump with them as well. It's good to see capcom building on their ideas.

@Hy8ogen You can use the Guild Hunting Style where the weapon will play like it did in MH4U if you want to play it traditionally.

The double note for the Hunting Horn is really cool, it will make it easier to manage all of the songs I'd need to play during a hunt. I may import a Japanese New 3DS if the game doesn't come to the west.

@Megumi I agree, the impact effects look flat and painted on. A bit like old-time Batman "POW!"s and "SMACK!"s.

@Jayvir:
Capcom seems to like the letter X (Or number ? :S), then maybe we will be geting X, X2, X3 like for the Mega Man series =). That's a lot of Monster Hunter games coming up (or expanded versions of the same main-game)

@Konda
I was very ranged in 3U, but in 4U I've stuck mostly to GS and CB. I've used dual blades a few times once I started getting those dual element upgrades.
