Capcom has announced today that it is bringing a brand new entry in the Monster Hunter series to Japan. The new game is titled Monster Hunter X and will be arriving in Japan this Christmas. No doubt many of you will be clamouring for this to be brought over to the west, and I don’t doubt it will come given how successful the Monster Hunter 4 launch was in March. Here’s a few details about Monster Hunter X for the Nintendo 3DS.
- Built on 4G engine looks like the flashy action of MHF in the main series looks amazing
- Unbelievable new super actions for all weapons much more than just a few new moves
- Focus on the hunter and doing flashy and cool action
- Concept is taking the action and making it stylish and varied enough that everyone can find their own unique style
- So they are bolstering the actions in both variation and number
- They are saying this will be much more technical and has lots of style
- Classes now have special attacks that you can activate as an accent to the action
You should probably proofread the details.
They’re kind of a mess.
Milk Milk Milk Milk Milk Milk Milk Milk Milk Milk Milk Milk Milk
Because it’s exclusive to a Nintendo platform you fanboys don’t care, but you can chat shit when it comes to CoD, FIFA and AC.
K’
It’s Capcom, not Nintendo doofus.
Apparently you didn’t see the new monsters and how every weapon type got around 3 new moves that give them completely different edges in battle.
That’s the main thing I got from the video and it looks exciting, but don’t you think it’s still too soon? We just got MH4U.
We just got it in the West, but MH4 has been out in Japan for a while, MHX is released, MH4 will be over two years old in Japan.
Damn. You right. I completely forgot about that. Why does Monster Hunter take so long to come out here. Feels like we’re always behind on what MH could be now.
You’re just another salty downplayer that wants the game but hates Nintendo.
Go boycott it on your little unknown blog somewhere and leave us to our games.
Yup keep giving Nintendo a pass, while you complain about all the other publishers. Stupid fanboys.
Hypocrites like you have no right to speak.
Honestly why is there another monster hunter game announced lol they announced the other cartoonish one and now this one too. And it’s set to arrive this year. They are milking the series to the max
Let’s count all the hypocrites that overlook the fact that Monster Hunter is being milked just as much as Asscreed and Codfish.
You’re allowed to milk a series if it’s actually fun.
”You’re allowed to milk a series if it’s actually fun.”
– Nintendo fanboys
Assassin’s Creed is still fun. I don’t think that’s a valid argument though. This new Monster hunter looks like it recycled several of the environments that were in MH4U. Monster Hunter is going to be the japanese COD if they don’t add some variety. At least with Assassin’s Creed, you get to explore a giant new city with each installment.
A little too giant for me. Lol it takes ages to get somewhere in Assassin’s Creed. Thank goodness for quick travel.

Still no Wii U version?
cashcom at it again…
But.. but… Monster hunter has more variety in gameplay than AC, CoD or FIFA
I know they are milking the franchise way to much, but I still love it, and I will for a long time lol, just, no, no to the felyne games, lol
I’m a Huge Monster Hunter fan, and was super excited to get 4U only a few months ago. This new one looks … familiar. (X cross seems to mean they are re-using environments from past games in adition to returning monsters … which is both cheap and nostalgic)
I totally expect to play and love it, but … not too soon. Where as for 4, I was super annoyed by the LONG delay from when Japan first got MH4, and when we finally got a port of 4G as 4U YEARS later, with this one, I can wait.
If MHX comes out Winter 2015 in Japan, I don’t mind if I can’t play it until Winter 2016, or even Spring 2017 in English, because I don’t think I’ll even be done with the one I have before then. (there are still one or two monsters in 3U I haven’t faced yet, like Savage Deviljo, and I’m sill only HR1 in 4U)
I’m actually more excited to try that colorful RPG spinoff first. Some world building, deeper characters and a new spin sounds fun to me.
But for MHX … I can wait. The new Llama-Sheep pet looks cute (10x better than a Poogie), and the Super Attacks look fun though.
Note: The OTHER MH Game I speak of is NOT the port of the PSP Animal Crossing rip-off (it even has Tom Nook in it now … aparently. Hey … At least they acknowlege it for what it is).
Looks cute, but I’ll probably pass on that one, it it even gets localized at all.
Yea, completely agree. I’m a huge MH fan, but also can wait on this one. All the areas were recycled from previous games, and that’s really sad. Part of the fun about MH games is exploring new areas, and it appears there will be none of that in MHX. Most the enemies are also recycled. I honestly don’t know why this game exists. It was a bad decision on Capcoms part releasing this game, it will only take thunder away from MH5. A shame really, they are trying to milk the franchise too much…
The next MH game I play (with the exception of MH Stories) will have all new areas, and mostly all new Monsters, or I probably won’t be playing it.
Yeah, but MH4 will be over 2 years old in Japan. It came out in Fall 2013 in Japan. I’m sure we won’t get a localization until at least Christmas 2016.
Woah. I haven’t even played Monster Hunter 4 yet and there’s another one coming!!! O.o
How do they have the time to keep making these games lolol! They seem pretty expansive.
To be fair, Crapcom knows that they can only survive on Street Fighter and Monster Hunter alone. Sure there’s Resident Evil, but they are only resorting to HD remakes since a majority of the new titles sucked.
If they made Megaman games, they could make money. If they made Resident Evil games with the same exact combat system as Resident Evil 4, they could make money.
They just choose not to.
Is it exclusive to New 3DS? The graphics look like a real step up for the handheld, no?
My thoughts exactly. I don’t have Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, but I don’t remember the trailers looking this good in terms of graphics , and the open world aspect of it.
The Graphics are nearly IDENTICAL to 4U, which looked not much better than 3U (and some of the 4U environments even looked worse), and 3U was a visual downscale of TRI for the Wii, which was AMAZING looking … for a Wii Game.
MH4U and soon MHX-Cross both seem to share a very functional and focused visual aesthetic of having flat, pixelated (but still stylistically organic and interesting) background environments, but super-impressively animated and lively looking Monsters which are so compelling, you don’t notice the poor background detail, but just take in the world design as a smudgy, but wild and exciting setting for the battle.
This is CLEARLY Not doing anything visually the last two MH games on the 3DS already have been doing for years now. That said … the Monster Hunter games do look really good on 3DS, and this looks on par with that. (Perhaps that Tigrex model looks slightly imoroved over what I’ve fought in 4U though…)
Yea, I agree. Except I truly believe MH3U looked better than MH4U. Little better detail, little better texture..
Really, MH3U is my favorite MH game of all time. I really loved the underwater sections and hated to see Capcom get rid of that for climbing. I mean why can’t we have both? Underwater sections and climbing? Is that too much to ask for? I think not.
Climbing and jumping actually makes the archaic combat system bearable, swimming highlights everything that’s wrong about it.
I love the battle system in MH. Nothing archaic about it. Jumping honestly has very little impact on the actual combat itself, other than a rare jump attack.
Underwater sections were immersive. The first time I fought the Lagiacrus underwater, and swam to its lair in a cave under the bottom of the sea, I was blown away. That was still, even today, my favorite MH memory. The flooded forest where you would swim in the murky waters and giant ten foot catfish would swim by. The bright blue waters of an underground cave. It was all so immersive, and made the areas feel so much more expansive. The sluggish combat was acceptable to me, because like real life, it would be pretty difficult fighting underwater! Lol…
The climbing in my opinion does not make up for the lack of underwater sections. Not even close.
The Villages/Towns in 4U are better, and the Monster animations and models are slightly more expressive and varied in movement, but otherwise, the environments in TRI/3/3G/3U were absolutely better designed Visually than the uglier 4U stages, though there is much more going on in 4U, like collapsing nests and climbables everywhere.
Seriously though, the Tri series Volcano looked way better than V. Hollow, and D.Island (aka Mooga) and F. Forest had some great asthetics to admire if you stopped to look around. A. Steppe is the ugliest stage I’ve seen in a MH game. Those red stone ruins look terrible, and are scattered randomly like they never had a purpose at all.
I agree entirely. Capcom pulled some Magic making TRI look as good as it did on Wii, and it still holds up on 3DS and WiiU (though the flat, low res ground textures stand out in HD).
I agree about the villages and towns. They are better in 4U, mainly because they are non existent in 3U. I also agree about A. Steppe. In fact, all the areas in 3U are far superior than 4U.
But 4u does have more enemies. Although I miss the Lagiacrus, 4U has the advantage on combat, and Monsters…
Lets forget that MH4U is almost a year old over there right? Capcom milking the series alright.
No Wii U? Disappointing because this seemed like something that they could have launched on a console.
This also only reminded me I haven’t played Monster Hunter 4…and that I’m probably missing out on one of the best games the 3DS have to offer.
Most likely because of sales. The reason they aren’t porting I mean.
WTF ANOTHER MONSTER HUNTER??!! i played mh3u and it was cool, but c’mon …….every fckn year like 2 versions of pretty much the same game. Put those resources in a pokemon open world adventure for the wii u!!
Reblogged this on HuntikFan1017-Lucasville OH-Anime-Gaming-More.
MH has had success over the last ten years because they have always taken their time between releases, and released a full, brand new experience with each main entry. These spin off games do not seem like a wise decision to me. It will only take the steam out of the main entries. Maybe Capcom is running out of ideas, I don’t know. Maybe MH5 is coming to the PS4? So they are giving the 3ds all the spin offs? Don’t know…

Why the hell is this coming out so soon!? We just got Monster Hunter 4U. They’re going to destroy the series if they do this just like with other overrated and less fun games, but as much fun as Monster Hunter is, I don’t think they should be milking it this much. This game looks pretty much similar to MH4U, and even if it was greatly different, why so soon? Why not just focus their time on a Wii U version at least and release well after the 4U. X? What does that even mean? And what’s the point of all the planned downloadable content?
I hate to break it to you, but 4g came out 2 YEARS AGO in japan, so we wont likely be getting this until 2017. Does waiting 2 years sound like milking to you? And about that spin off game. Who cares? If youre not going to buy it, thats only 40 less dollars and an annoying customer they have to deal with. Do you honestly think they CARE?
Thank you sir. Someone who actually understands.
OMG! This is fucking stupid. Why the fuck isn’t this game available on PS Vita or Wii U? I remember the online connection and players were much better in Monster Hunter Portable. Why on fuck has this game been on Nintendo portable consoles for past few years? I don’t get the damn fuck going on with Capcom.
I would still prefer if this game was on Wii U because Wii U has the better graphics power than Nintendo 3DS. As for New 3DS/LL, I can’t speak for it as I haven’t had a chance to play it(waiting for my 10th birthday so I can wish my parents for New LL) but considering that it is still portable, I will assume that Wii U still had better graphics power.
Wii U games look much better than 3DS games. Just look at 3D World or Mario Kart 8 compared to 3D Land and Mario Kart 7. Big difference.
Because they “Don’t sell well in Japan” end of story, 3ds and mobile is king in Japan right now and no one is going to make a game for a console or anything else that they are going to lose money on. Now a port Maybe.. if we’re lucky but they probably won’t be making a Wii U title for a while (with sales increasing (Slowly) in Japan and the West they may make another game to test the waters but yeah.
