@ Bell - Yeah, exactly. On top of that, we have two new wep classes, a reworked Felyne comrade system, Excavation system, dozens of new hunting areas, a more refined "story mode" for solo play, aerial moves, enhanced climbing mechanics, and so forth. There's a LOT MH4 is bringing to the table, and I'm excited to embrace it all.

@ Arc - I don't think I made my point very clear, please allow me to explain better~ ^_^ I was specifically speaking of the Nintendo userbase, and my point with it is - Capcom wants to bring them the monsters that PS2 and PSP players enjoyed hunting. They want to make the 1st and 2nd gen more accessible to the new userbase they are catering to, and I think that's a great idea.

Now personally, I would have LOVED to see more new monsters. Who wouldn't, right? I mean, I love some subspecies... I think a few are even superior to their originals in some ways, but ultimately... they're not a truly NEW monster, like the mysterious flying wyvern we saw. ^__^; I'm really hoping that in the future, we will see more Fanged Wyverns, Frogs, Snake Wyverns, and so forth. : ) The 3rd gen, I feel, did a much better job filling in its new classes (Brutes and Leviathans) with more diversity - no one will argue that. All the same though, given everyting Capcom worked on with the 4th gen, I'm OK with what we have. : )
