Monster Hunter 4

MH4 Discussion

Monster Hunter 4 is a new game being produced by Capcom. It is the second game in the Monster Hunter series to be released on the Nintendo 3DS. Details and information about it are currently scarce; only a teaser video and a short trailer have been released by Capcom. These videos both show numerous updates; there is a stronger emphasis on platforming than before, walls can now be climbed more fluidly and in any direction, and for the first time Hunters can grab onto monsters and attack them. Environments shown also appear to be larger than before - possibly even open-world.

Various monsters have been confirmed to return, most notably Rathalos and Tigrex.

It was later revealed here that the entirety of the original teaser trailer was playable.

In an even later article, it was stated that the game is going to put far more effort into adventure and storyline, and there will be a group of travelling caravans. Underwater battling will not be present, however.

New monsters include a mysterious black creature and an orange monkey-like Pelagus known as Kecha Wacha.
