Famitsu has another update on Monster Hunter 4 this week. The magazine published new information about certain ailments that can affect players.

Below are details on the crazed dragon virus and gore magala.

Crazed Dragon Virus
– This virus infects you if attacked by an already infected Tigrex.
– Gauge appears below the player’s name. This gauge increases when attacked by Tigrex and with the passage of time.
– Crazed dragon illness outbreaks when the gauge completely fills. Natural recovery gauge (presuming this is stamina?) also disappears.
– Can remove this harmful effect by repeatedly attacking Tigrex before the gauge fills.
– Weapon’s critical hit ratio greatly increases if you manage to remove the virus.

Gore Magala
– If its moth powder sticks to you it makes it easier for Gore Magala to detect you. This powder also has a harmful effect to body/movement ability.

For a special price that only lasts today, consumers can purchase a unique 3DS XL bundle from HSN. It includes the system itself as well as Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Three colors are available: blue/black, red/black, and pink/white. Given its limited availability, the pink/white color would likely be the most popular choice today.

Shigeru Miyamoto provided a lot of interesting insight into a bunch of different topics in an IGN interview.

There’s obviously lots of Wii U talk. Miyamoto noted how he’s always been “more nervous than excited” for launches, discussed how the console can unify different activities, and talked about using the system with others.

Other topics include Zelda: Four Swords, which Miyamoto feels possesses “great potential to evolve even further from now” thanks to the evolving nature of networks. He also discussed how Nintendo “had continued debate as to the reason why Four Swords could not expand to the audience the way we really hoped it might have.”

Read on below for that and more, including how his thoughts on how Nintendo can keep up with gamers as they grow.
