Super Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda DLC Coming to Monster Hunter 4

It appears that both Nintendo and Capcom wanted to make the wait for Monster Hunter 4 that much more agonizing.

Today, during Japan’s Monster Hunter 4 Nintendo Direct, the two Felyne companions were not only wielding hammers, but were adorned in Mario and Luigi costumes as well. Not to be left out, the hunter will also have the ability to dress up as Link from The Legend of Zelda–complete with a Hylian shield and Master Sword! The gear can be unlocked by completing downloadable quests Japanese players can access from select 7-11 locations. No word if the downloadable content will hit the United States (let alone a release date for Monster Hunter 4), but it’s safe to assume Monster Hunter fans in the west will be treated to both, due to the success of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
