From EDGE magazine:

[nintendo3DS]

Hope it comes to USA this year.

wooh! probably not getting it cos i just bought xenoblade and am about to buy last story, and im saving the rest of my money for the wii u, but still, wooh!!

[Caius Casshern Sins]

I hope it comes out soon, if this is true.

[Deadly Virus]

I might get this when it comes out. Never played a Monster Hunter game before but this definitely looks interesting, and I think it's an upgraded port of the Wii version which I hear a lot of praise about.

[CaptainBravo1]

I wish they would port it to the American and European Wii's I really want to play it. Also unsure if getting a 3ds is really worth it or if it's just hype or whatever. I mean I love Monster hunter, but unsure of the 3ds.

Doesn't it lack online? It's pretty impressive that they managed to port a (particularly good looking) Wii game to the 3DS but Monster Hunter without online is only half the experience.

If I remember correctly, wasn't there a rumor that if it came to the US there would be online play?

Awesome. I predicted right!

Why would they only add online play if it came to the US? Far more people will buy it in Japan and other countries, their money is just as good as people's money in the US :3

Because it's a cash cow in Japan, and there needs to be incentive for them to buy MH4. (Hey, Activation get's away with stuff like this over here, so I'm pretty sure Capcom can over there.)

As for the other countries, I thought they were included, but I can't remember.

It could be the fact that the Japanese population is much more dense compared to the West, so people are able to walk up to someone who has the game and go on a local multiplayer than those who have the game in Japan. For example Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes which is the Japanese version of the game didn't have an online mode.http://www.destructo...om-115666.phtml However when the game came over to the West an online mode was added to the game, so it is not unheard of.

sounds like fun, can't wait

If they add online, and also sell this special edition in the US: http://www.ebay.com/...21#ht_847wt_901

I'm definitely into that.

Yeah, that's just the overcharging for the import. xP

Otherwise, it'd probably be like any other portable collectors edition and be like $80.

[Lord Pickleton]

Would be nice if they would release a Demo of the game like they did for Monster Hunter Tri for the Wii.

[Mitch]

Whens the release date for this? and if there is no online multiplayer will there be local?
