Judging by the average time after the japan release of 10 months, we should get it about july. However, MH3U had a very long wait, so we may see it earlier.

And we have had MH3U for about 10 months now, so I don't expect capcom will release MH4 before march. Thinking about it, the MH4 release will kill almost all sales of MH3U as it is on the same console.
