R.O.B. 2.0 Limited Editon peripheral will be made available to move Amiibos on & off the game pad. And it's also an extra-large Amiibo itself, able to be placed on the game pad (requiring a 2nd R.O.B. 2.0 Limited Edition).
It was 18 months between the Japanese release of MH4 and the Western release of MH4U. Being a huge Monster Hunter fan with over 1800hrs in MH3U (both WiiU & 3DS) and now 350+hrs in MH4U, those 18 months of seeing articles like this waiting and hoping for a Western release were not pleasant to say the least.
Yes I had an absolute ball playing MH3U over that time, but teasing Western fans for another year to 18 months with seeing these updates and no confirmation / release date is gut-wrenching for fans.
Capcom should at the very least say yes or no early on if we should get our hopes up or not. How difficult is it appease their biggest fans with a simple statement? Ex: '...and not to worry hunters of the west, localization for your region is in development as well, stay tuned!' Simple and appropriate fan service.
Given the popularity and numbers (33 million+ sold of the series worldwide), parallel development & localization in order for a simultaneous worldwide release of future titles should not be out of the question
