Monster Hunter Generations is Heading to 3DS This Summer

YESSSSSS!!!!

I'm not really that excited for this one for some reason :s

HYPE!!

BEST part of the direct; made my day.

There is no G-Rank on this game, right? Which is kind of sad, because on G is where the fun begins!

This is the only thing I liked about the Direct. I can't wait!!!

Monster Hunter and Fire Emblem!

I could live the rest of my life playing those two franchises alone!

@rjejr
Where are you buddy? We must celebrate!

@Iggly @TeeJay
Suit up and strap up fellow teammates. Monster Hunter approaches...

I love monster hunter as much as the next guy but I might pass for the lack of G-rank quests...maybe g-rank dlc will come but I highly doubt it

I'm super hyped for this. This time, I'll play this as soon as it's released so I can enjoy multiplayer with others. I'm very behind on Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, so it feels like I've missed out on the fun multiplayer stuff

Currently I'm on G rank quests on Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and High rank quests on Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. I doubt I'll complete these in time, so I'll just occasionally play these after the Generation release and focus mostly on the new game.

@JaxonH Thursdays are bad for me, but I did congratulate you somewhere about an hour ago.

Knew it!

But people are starting to get me down about the lack of G rank, I hope I don't get too bored with the lack of difficulty...

Ah, more Monster Hunter!

I think a MH game has been my personal GOTY 2 of the last 3 years. Although this will have stiff competition if Star Fox Zero is great, as SF64 was my all-time #1 for a long time.... until MH knocked it off.

It's time dual! (And hopefully it's just a lot of fun times ahead!)

Definitely getting this. Had no one to play 4 Ultimate with so hopefully this'll go better. Also, super excited to get into those new mechanics.

Hands down best part of the direct. Can't wait!

@JaxonH It's gonna be like old times, but now everything is flashy.

This announcement alone made the direct amazing.

Finally! Looking forward to hunting again soon.

Meh. Loved MH3U on the WiiU, hated how MH 4 played on the 3DS. Think I'll skip this one. I hate playing action games on the 3DS

I really wish for a new MH game on WiiU. They play so much better on a home console than portable imo

No one's crying about localization here it seems.

MHX High Rank is the same difficulty as MH4U G-Rank. So it's just less grinding to reach end game.

I honestly thought that the West wouldn't see this game until Japan got "Cross G" or something to that effect.

I'm still playing MH3U on 3DS every now & then, and I haven't even reached the final boss yet. I had figured that I'd probably skip MH4U for this game, but NOW MH4U's 48-hour sale price has me awfully tempted to buy it too, as does the bonus content for Generations with 4U save data being present.

...I already have so many other games to play, though...

Whoa, now I really need to get back into Monster Hunter 4 after seeing this.

@RokkuMashu I don't think we are going to be seeing a "Cross G" this time around. This isn't a main series game, more of an anniversary side game. It also already has more quests than 4U has so there isn't going to be a lack of content and from what I've heard the hunts are still challenging even without going up to G rank. I imagine the next game (aside from the already announced spin off games) will be MH5 on the NX and they won't even bother with a G/U version of Cross/Generations. If the rumors pan out and the NX is a hybrid home/handheld console that'll make everyone happy and with how popular MH is in Japan (and is becoming in the US) having the next main series game on the NX early will really push hardware sales.

Yes Yes Yes!

Pleased to see this! And damn, I haven't finished either MH3U and MH4U, but I'll keep buying MH game. I wonder why the need to change the name to Generations, MHX should work just fine in the west.

@RokkuMashu
Hey, what's one more game in the backlog?

Nah, I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money, do what you think is best

Thank you, Nintendo!
Thank you, Capcom!

I said that the thing I wanted to see the most on the Direct was Monster Hunter X, but followed up with "but it's only a wish, and I doubt it will be shown on the direct". By far the most exciting thing for me in the entire direct. I will not make the same mistake as I did with MHU4, so I will be purchasing this on day 1 and not a couple months later. It looks amazing. In my opinion, MHU4 is one of the best looking games on the system. This one looks even better. However, we all know that the graphics are not what makes this series awesome. It's all about the gameplay. The action. The thrill of the hunt!!!!!!!!!

The new Variant Monsters are kind of a replacement for G-Rank monsters. They look really tough, so I don't think you should be too worried about the lack of G-Rank.

@MajinSoul

Your not alone in that feeling. I sunk about 2000 hours into Tri and 3U, but I just can't stand playing 4U on the 3DS, even with the second stick on the New 3DS. I myself need to see it on the big screen using a comfortable controller. Long sessions on the 3DS on high action games just annoy me. Hopefully we'll see a return to console when the NX releases.

Love the look of some of the new gunner skills. I hope there's a lot to explore. I love Monster Hunter to death, but I do sometimes feel like gunners are an afterthought—especially bow users. I try to mix it up with all the gun types, but I just don't really enjoy running blade very much.

I'm super hyped for a new Monster Hunter.

A bit sooner than last time, eh? I can only hope that I'll be done with 4, by then. I mean, I don't really mind falling behind other players. I'm just saying...

@Frank90 It still has more quests and monsters than MH4U.
