The big piece of Monster Hunter X news coming out of the Tokyo Game Show is the game’s Nyanter Mode. This allows players to go through the game as a Felyne. You can read up a few details concerning the mode below, courtesy of Siliconera.

– Nyanters specialize in movement and various forms of support
– Players can switch into a Nyanter by selecting one of your Palico Felynes at anytime before accepting a quest
– Go as a Nyanter and have your two Palicoes tag alone in single-player
– Nyanters have their own exclusive quests
– They can also play any quest a regular Hunter can
– You can tag up to make a party of four Nyanters with your friends
– No stamina gauge for Nyanters
– Controls are the same as Hunters
– They can also run around with their weapons unsheathed
– You can dig underground to avoid attacks when things get dangerous
– They can do other similar actions as Hunters, such as gathering
– They are faster at it and don’t need to carry around Pickaxes or Bug Nets since they have their own that lasts forever
– There are two acorns on the top-left part of the screen that counts as a couple of extra lives for the Nyanter
– They get KO’d once all Acorns are lost
– Place traps, use flutes, and the new Trampoline
