MH3U:

-What are you most looking forward to in MH3U?

Oddly enough, I'm lookin' forward to the new Shakalaka companion. The bit I played of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd spoiled me with the two felynes.

-What is your favourite new addition in MH3U?

Bringing all the old weapons into underwater combat. I'm one of those weird people that really loved that feature in Tri.

-Will you be playing MH3U on 3DS, Wii U, or both?

3DS, most likely, as I do not have a WiiU. The current game list for it isn't satesfying enough for me. Maybe when Super Smash Bros. WiiU comes out...

-Are you buying said console just for MH3U?

No. I already own a 3DS, which, ironically, I bought because CAPCOM were promising us Mega Man Legends 3 on it. At least they'll gain a few points back after that flub by giving us MH3U.

MHFO G:

Have never played the game, and most likely never will, so I can't really comment on these questions.

MH4:

-What old monsters do you hope return in MH4?

Well, I see that the Yian Kut-Ku is making a return, but weirdly, I would like to see the Khezu again. I dunno why...

-Do you like what you've seen so far of the game? Why or why not?

Seems to be a bit more action/platformer oriented rather than action/tactical oriented. Won't know 'till I get my hands on it, but I am curious to see how it turns out.

-Which new monster are you looking forward to fighting the most?

Kechawacha, or whatever it's gonna be called over here. I've always been fond of Pelagus monsters.

-Do you think we in the west will ever get MH4?

Knowing CAPCOM...

-What types of new monsters would you like to see in MH4?

Would like to see more crab-like monsters to counter-balance all the Leviathans that have been released of late. Would also like to see a lot more insect-like monsters. Not just annoying little ones like the bees, but actual boss monsters.

E3/TGS:

-What do you hope gets revealed at either of these conventions?

Monster Hunter Four US release.
