This actually looks pretty sweet to me. A nice shooter is what the 3DS has been missing. If they do the coop well and there's some kind of multiplayer, this thing could be a blast to play online. Probably day one for me.
With the success of Blizzard's Heartstone and a bunch of other card games in recent years and big IP's like The Elder Scrolls getting it's own card game, I wouldn't be surprised if this got localized. There's a market for it and the 3ds is doing great so it seems logical to release it here too.
I do hope all of these get localized and they also release Final Fight 3. I'll get Super Castlevania IV day one since it's one of my favorite Castlevania games and I want it with me at all times! I seriously wish more third party games will be released since the SNES had such a sweet huge library of games. It has begun!
I'm at 30 hours and now leaving the second town. I'm using the Hunter Stoutbow I and having a blast. Even though I'm really not that far, I've never got so far in a MH game so I'm really happy with my progress.
It's the only thing I played on my New 3DS since I got it and I love it. I just beat the Gypceros last night. Tough fight but I did it. I'm using the Hunter Stoutbow I and the battle armor set. I'm wearing the Jaggi greaves since I need Ioprey hides for the battle greaves and I haven't met those yet.
@DrVollKornBrot Yeah I didn't think and made the entire Mario suit and then the Luigi Hat so it took all the mushrooms. I'm still HR 1 since I've been doing only the story quests. I'm at the second town with one quest left on the 2 stars list. Got the leader shotels and the Hunter's Stoutbow I since I mainly use the dual blades and bow. I was thinking of mining Seltas to make the Heat Haze bow which seems a bit better than what I have. Is it any good. Any tips since I'm just starting out.
A bit sad that it's monthly DLC instead of weekly like it used to be but at the same time if they give weapons and costumes I don't mind waiting. Back when I played MH Freedom unite on PSP they gave something like 2 or 3 quests (usually high rank) and one arena type quest. per week. Don't remember getting any item but I could be wrong. I'm glad I got this game with my New 3DS red XL. The C-stick works perfectly and the game is just awesome. I'll be playing this one for a long long while!
EDIT: Anyone know where to get Super Mushrooms? I'd like to make the hammer for my Palico but I've used the ones they gave in the starter pack.
It's going to sound strange to some but I really liked Shadowgate 64 and would like to have it on a portable system. Doom 64 was also cool. It's the first game I got when I got the system.
@cyrus_zuo While I do agree with you on the fact that they should've put a second circle pad instead of the nub, it does work well. I tried it in MH4U for the camera and it's pretty solid. I tried it in Re: Revelations to aim and it took me some time but I got used to it and it did work. When you look at it you wonder how it could work but it does.
Nice guide. I've been with this franchise since I played the first one that came out on PSP. While I love this franchise I never got really far into it. I just love going out there even just to get herbs and mushrooms. I'm just starting with MH4U but I'm already hooked.
@Ps4all That's no joke, I never used 3D on my original since it gave me a headache and the sweet spot thing was annoying but after trying it on my New red XL it works perfectly. The C-stick also works great. Takes a bit of getting used to but I played Resident Evil Revelations and aimed with it and it was great. It's a lot faster than my old 3DS too so that's pretty nice. Don't regret getting it one bit.
Well did the transfer and it was long even using my PC and I had only 6.75gb to transfer. Oh well everything is there so I'm good to go. Just finished charging my new red XL so it's MH4U time!
So let me get this straight, I took the SD card from my old 3DSand copied the folder Nintendo 3DS on my computer. Then I took my Micro-SD card and put the folder on it. I tried it on my old 3DS and everything was there. Tomorrow when I get my New 3DS XL, when I put in the Micro-SD card will I have to do something else or I'm done?
I loved that game so much back then. I didn't own a Genesis but I rented it from time to time with this, Altered Beast and Golden Axe 2. Good times. Day one for me when it gets here.
Looks pretty cool and I do love those action rpg's. For 5$ it's pretty tempting and it could be cool on my New 3DS Red XL but will I stay away from MH4U long enough to play this? Hmmmm......I'll check it out.
@BertoFlyingFox Man I loved those games. Both Norrath and Dark Alliance were on top of my list in those days. I played the heck out of those games........Ah the memories.
Since I already played Zelda MM, I went with this one along with a red New 3DS XL that I'll pick up on Friday. I've been with the Monster Hunter franchise since the first game on the PSP. Sadly I never got that far into the games because of a lack of patience and I kept getting other games. Now I'm a bit older, I have a lot more patience and I stopped getting every game that comes out. I only buy the ones that I know will last me a long while. I got further in MH3U than any other MH game and with this one I intend to play it to the end. It might take me a couple of years but I'll stick to it.
@coolaggro Totally agree with you but for me it was a no-brainer. I really like MM but since I already played it on N64 and MH4U like all MH games has a ton of content. I'll get MM eventually but for now it's all MH4U and I can't wait to go hunting on my red New 3DS XL. Only 8 more days!
@Caryslan You make a good point. Still considering the first game worked fine on the system they could easily use an upgraded version of the engine. Also Revelation 2 is presented as 4 episodes sold separately at first and then bundled together so I doubt it's a lot bigger than the first game. Unless they dumb down the Vita port I don't see why this one would be. To each his own but I'd rather have it on my 3DS where it's portable than a Wii U version. If I want to play it on a bigger screen I'll go for the XB1 version which I was going for anyway and for portable I might get it for the Vita if it's good.
@RainbowGazelle Yeah I don't get why RE Revelations 2 wasn't announced for 3DS or even New 3DS. Maybe eventually. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I could get it on PC, XB1, 360 or Vita but since I have the first one on 3DS, the second one would be a perfect fit.
@Spoony_Tech Depends on how you look at it. I could only get one game so I went with MH4U since I already played MM on N64. I will eventually get it but I prefer a new game with my new system. Plus the amount of content in MH4U is a lot more than MM which still has lots of things to do.
@ryan3ds I have a 3DS and a Vita. The Vita is a great system but Sony doesn't know how to support its systems. They're doing exactly what they did with the PSP before it. If you like Japanese games though it's got a lot of those and some really nice one like Persona 4 Golden.
I may not agree with everything they have done lately but I have to admit that Nintendo does the best handheld systems and support them with awesome games. I finally stepped on my ego and pre-ordered a Red New 3DS XL and MH4U so it'll be epic when I get it on Feb 13th which I just realized is a Friday meaning they release the New 3DS on Friday the 13th......I hope nobody's superstitious.
@Link41x I do admit that it is stupid since it's digital anyways but even at that price it's good value. I shouldn't spend a dime but I might get this since these are masterpieces of gaming.
I don't use 3D on my original 3DS but if it's better like I read everywhere I might always use it on my new Red XL (Still sad about bot getting the regular). The 3D on the old one gave me a headache and my eyes would become tired fast so to be able to use it will be cool. I find it a bit sad that there's no real progress for battery life compared to the old system.
Well I got Kirby Fighter Deluxe when it came out but seriously, unless you really really want it I'd stay away. It's good for a 10 minutes session and that's it. I never played it again. Not recommended.

Finally a portable Elder Scrolls game!
Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo Switch, a New Concept for Gaming
They even have From Software on the partners page so maybe there's a chance that Dark Souls would be on it.

@BlatantlyHeroic Amen to that! We all need a portable Skyrim! I'm sold just for that one alone!

Glad to know it's still on 3DS. As always it's day one for me....as soon as it's released here that is. I hope Atlus will announce it soon.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy Explorers (3DS)

Re: The Nintendo 3DS Was North America's Best-Selling Hardware Platform In February
I'm really glad to see that Monster Hunter 4 is doing well. It's just an awesome game and the best one in the series for me. I can't stop playing it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th March (North America)
Shin Megami Tensei IV was tempting me but I'm broke and anyway I can't stay away from MH4U enough to play anything else so I'd be throwing money away.
Re: Feature: Why We're Still Playing... Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate After Dozens of Hours

Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has Shipped Over 3 Million Units Worldwide

@TimeGuy Yep I second that. Couldn't find it either. That golden MM theme is pretty sweet though.

Re: Nintendo Download: 12th February (North America)
@TerrapinJess I'll join in to say that at 14,99$ it's a sweet deal for all the time you'll spend on the game. I just love this franchise.
