Hunting solo might be the epitome of courage, but the online Monster Hunter experience opens up a world of strategic teamwork, where seasoned Hunters work as a well-oiled machine to stalk, engage and vanquish their foes. Hunt with nearby friends using Local Play, or for the first time on handheld, take the chase online directly via Nintendo Network, to play with faraway fellow hunters!
Make no mistake – Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is a strategic, expansive and epic action RPG just waiting to be discovered. Glory awaits!

it's coming to the west! SWEEEEEEET! getting this game on release(if possible)
Should I say goodbye to my social life now, or wait until "early 2015"?
Is this going to be on just 3DS or 3DS and Wii U?
@Tigus most likely only on 3DS or they'll make on 3DS and then WiiU
This is for the new 3DS right? (May be able to predict the new 3DS launch date with this game)
