Monster Hunter 4 – Volcanic Cavern details
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
A few details on Monster Hunter 4’s newly revealed Volcanic Cavern map have been translated from this week’s Famitsu. The information, most of which pertains to the different monsters included in the area, can be found below.
Volcanic Cavern
– Includes familiar monsters
– Gravios and Iodrome can be found here
– Teostra, the Elder Dragon, will also be on this map
Teostra
– Flame King Teostra
– First appeared in Monster Hunter 2 and has been more recently active in Monster Hunter Frontier
– Teostra is the male counterpart of the Empress of Flame, Lunastra
– Teostra has flammable powder that he spreads across the air with his wings, followed by explosions
– He also has a flamethrower attack that is said to triple its length when he’s in rage mode
Gravios and Basarios
– Gravios and the juvenile Basarios will be appearing in Monster Hunter 4’s new Volcanic Cavern
– Gravios is known for being one of the largest dragon-type monsters
– Can’t fly as well as other wyverns due to its heavy weight
– Has an extra tough body
– Can emit flaming and sleep-inducing gasses
– Also can shoot powerful fire beams
– These beams are apparently more destructive in Monster Hunter 4
Iodrome
– Wyvern
– Iodrome and its Ioprey minions will be making a return in Monster Hunter 4
– It would be best to take along extra antidotes when you visit the Volcanic Cavern to beat these monsters

Armikrog hits Kickstarter target, 16 hours left for Wii U stretch goal
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Despite being well off its Kickstarter target just a few days ago, Armikrog has managed to secure full funding on Kickstarter. Just over $900,000 has now been raised.
Of course, Nintendo fans are most interested in the Wii U stretch goal sitting at $950,000. Pencil Test Studios will need to collect another $50,000 or so in order to absolutely guarantee a Wii U version. But even if that isn’t met, it sounds like Armikrog will still come to the eShop.
Thanks to Ken P for the tip.
