Originally announced in September 2011 during the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom had remained tight-lipped on “Monster Hunter 4” since its initial debut, however all that has now changed. Early Saturday morning, Capcom announced that “Monster Hunter 4” would see release in early 2013 in Japan exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has been discounted to $16.33 on 3DS and $19.79 on Wii U. Also on sale are Monster Hunter 4 ($28.99) as well as the upcoming Monster Hunter Generations ($31.99 for Amazon Prime members).
Check out a gallery of images for the epic-looking figure, designed by Final Fantasy's Tetsuya Nomura.
Monster Hunter X sold 1,542,104 units within its first two days of sale in Japan, according to a Famitsu report. The number includes retail copies, download cards, and the Monster Hunter X Special Pack. (It does not, however, include sales of the download version through the eShop.)
Additionally, 3DS hardware (including 3DS LL, New 3DS, and New 3DS LL) moved a total 133,628 units, compared to the previous week’s 33,203 units.
Here’s Monster Hunter X‘s launch numbers compared to previous big 3DS titles:
(Note: These are all according to Famitsu sales numbers.)
Pokemon X and Y – 2,096,050
Monster Hunter 4 – 1,875,115
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate – 1,617,949
Monster Hunter X – 1,542,104
When Monster Hunter gets made for a non-Nintendo console I'll be more interested. I'd be much happier with a PS4/Xbone version with fully integrated online play.
Can't wait to see how it plays.

And thats another 1 million 3DS sold. I wonder if Capcom will also make a Wii U version with the 3DS.
Too bad this game was not also coming to the Vita. I hate when a franchise starts on one platform than moves exclusively to another. I am fine with franchises going multiplat to earn more money and new fans but when you ditch the fanbase that built and made the franchise what it is well that is a major slap in the face.
This game will sell tons on the 3DS though.
