Monster Hunter 4 is just a few days away from releasing in Japan, but Capcom is still updating the game’s official website. The latest content covers two more monsters – Rathalos and Zinogre. Screenshots and details for both can be found below.
Rathalos
– Spews flame
– Uses speed and flight to attack hunters below
– Often called the King of the Sky
– His rookery (also houses his wife Rathian) overlooks his territory easily from on high
– Tip of his tail has poison
– When he ground slams hunters to the floor is more than happy to take a healthy bite out of daring foes
Zinogre
– Thunder dragon
– Uses lightning and thunder while rending swipes of his razor-sharp claws and long tail lashes
– Sometimes calls on surrounding lightning bugs to grant him super-charged powers
– If this happens, Zinogre’s lightning strikes will annihilate everyone around him
A few months ago, there was talk of Tribute Games becoming a licensed Nintendo developer. Some thought such news could result in a Wii U version of Mercenary Kings. However, while we’ve received official confirmation of Tribute’s dev status, the studio informed us that there aren’t any plans at present to bring the game over to Nintendo’s console.
Tribute co-founder Jean-Francois Major explained: “Considering the size of our team, we have to pick our battles.” For now, the company is focused on completing the PlayStation 4 and PC versions.
“In the end, we pick where we go to next based on where we see getting the biggest audience. A lot of people have been asking for a Vita port, not so much a Wii U one. So it can always help us guide our decisions.”
On the bright side, we were told that as former Game Boy Advance developers, Tribute “would love to go back on Nintendo consoles at some point.”
A new puzzle has arrived in the Japanese StreetPass Mii Plaza. Users can now begin filling in a panel for Darumeshi Sports Shop, Nintendo’s recently released 3DS eShop title. An image of the puzzle-in-progress can be found above.
We still don’t know much about Dragon Quest X’s next major expansion, but we do have a name. The new content will officially be titled “Dragon Quest X: The Slumbering Hero and Sworn Guiding All”. Details about the expansion will be revealed at the Tokyo Game Show this month.

Bike Rider DX’s price will soon be permanently reduced in Europe. In the near future, it will drop to €2.99. The updated price should be going into effect this month.
The Wonderful 101 went through a series of drastic changes between the creation of the original concept and release of the final product. Originally, Platinum thought about making it as a all-star title with Nintendo characters.
In an interview with USGamer, director Hideki Kamiya revealed that the initial plan was to make the project for Wii. However, the idea wasn’t meant to be, and the project was shelved – until it eventually resurfaced once again as an original superhero game.
He said:
“Initially, it was based on the idea of using these Nintendo characters. At the time Wii U hadn’t been announced yet and there was no knowledge of it. I can’t say with certainty, but I believe this was something that we think of potentially for Wii. And so it was put on hold. Then, one year later, when we came back with the idea of creating this as a superhero game… At that time it wasn’t necessarily based on any specific platform. But when we took it to Nintendo, the discussions went from there, and we decided to put it on Wii.”
