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.
At this rate, they'll be including Battlerager armor, so that the player can leap atop the monster, hug it tight, and shake themselves to shred it to ribbons beneath them.
And once the hunt is done, they'll all pass around a bottle of Gut-Buster.XD
