Mh> Witcher 3 bloodbored
As much as I enjoy the handheld versions, I wish they would put a main game on consoles or PC already.
Too much Monster Hunter. Keep the games you have fresh instead of pushing out new ones every year.
Anyway I’d rather see Monster Hunter Stories than this.
Huh? In the U.S., Mh3 came out in the Wii days and mh4 came out this year. That’s not too quick of a pace
But it’s close. I could use another year with MH4…it’s not too quick a pace if all you play is MH, but for those of us playing multiple games, it’s too fast! :)
I’d love MHX to have VOICE CHAT like MH3U. ;D :]
MH4 has been out in Japan for a while. When this comes out, it will be MH4 will be over 2 years old. This probably won’t be out in the west until 2017.
Ah, well then awesome! :)
Hoip
> felynes make an appearance
They make an appearance in literally every game.
The earliest for a Western release would be Winter 2016.
But when Capcom decides to create a MHXU (extended version), Western release will take a few more months for the localization so I’d expect it around March 2017.
By then I’d be done playing MH4U anyway… XD
Or I could just move on with MH Stories…
We need a Wii U MH game. …
How long do we have to wait?
We have one, MH3U. It’s really fun. I still play whrn I want to chill with my wiiU friends, have a drink and voice chat to catch up. You should be able to find it for like, $20.
