Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 4 Comments
Capcom has published the first of what will surely be numerous localization blogs for Monster Hunter Generations. You can read it right here.
There is one excerpt from the blog that is worth highlighting on the site directly. Below, we learn that localization planning began in December 2014. Capcom also discusses why it changed the “Monster Hunter X” name and settled on “Monster Hunter Generations”. It’s rather interesting!
We started planning the localization for Monster Hunter Generations back in December 2014, as development on MH4U was winding down. We began having meetings with the development team to get an idea of the overall scope of the game, how much text there would be, what kind of time frame we had to work with, etc., so we could start mapping out our schedule.

Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse story trailer
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Videos | 2 Comments
Update: We also have a look at some pre-order armor from Amazon / Amazon.ca, Best Buy, and GameStop / EB Games Canada:

The GSEB Power Suit is a bold red and black jumpsuit that will strike fear in the hearts of demons, and should effectively hide wounds sustained in battle!
The Prime Suit is a packaging-themed jumpsuit that lets demons know that their lives will be ended swiftly and without any hassle!
The sharp yellow, blue, and khaki colors of the Retail Hero jumpsuit are perfect for those who opt for a more professional demon-hunting look.
Original: A new Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse from Atlus has gone live focusing on the RPG’s story. You can give the video a look below.
For more on the story, read up on this overview from Atlus:
The story of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse is one of human pawns being shuffled across a chessboard by the higher deities. One lone Hunter, the game’s protagonist, meets an early demise and through a pact with a lesser god, is brought back to life in exchange for his pledge of servitude. From there, the protagonist allies with other Hunters in the ruins of post-apocalyptic Tokyo beginning a plot that crosses over with the events of the original Shin Megami Tensei IV.
