Check Out the Newest Beasts in the New ‘Monster Hunter 4’ Trailer!

In a year packed with big 3DS releases, one of my most anticipated titles is Monster Hunter 4, the next main entry in the niche series, (in the States at least.) How do you make a game about hunting giant monsters even better the fourth time around? According to Capcom’s new trailer, it looks like their answer is more monsters, more weapons and more options!

From the trailer that accompanied new Ace Attorney footage during a Japan only Nintendo Direct, it’s easy to see that mobility has been upgraded, which will give gamers more attack options. We’ll need them too, because some of the monsters shown look like absolute beasts. New weapons look to help make things a little more even, and now that the ability to launch Feylines at enemies seems added since Tri, it just might be the most adorable way you’ve slain a giant Street Shark.

There are still questions that need answering though, like how will traveling through multiple villages instead of just having one home base affect the game? Will jumping and climbing be the equivalent to Tri’s swimming? And why oh why can’t we get those awesome Monster Hunter themed 3DS XL’s?

More details are sure to surface during E3. Until then, watch the trailer below and tell us what you’ll want to hunt first!
