To celebrate the unveiling of the release date of Monster Hunter 4 Capcom released four trailers showcasing all kinds of gameplay footage, obviously mostly focused on hunting monsters of all sizes and shapes. In addition to that the publisher also released a making of video related to an upcoming TV commercial starring Japanese CSKA Moscow footballer Keisuke Honda.
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).

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 for this game to come to the west! The 3DS is quickly becoming my favorite handheld of all time.
They are trying to beat GTA V's 3 trailers!
Every man, woman and child in Japan just got a boner, throwing the world off it's axis, causing us to experience horrific weather and cross in to the path of a giant asteroid. Thanks Monster Hunter 4.
