Capcom announced Monster Hunter 4’s Japanese release date during today’s Nintendo Direct. The game is due out on September 14. Pricing is set at 5,990 yen.
Presentation begins in a half hour (7 AM ET / 4 AM PT). Will be around 17 minutes.
The Hand of Panda is only coming to the 3DS eShop at present. However, the game’s developer has shown quite a bit of interest in bringing it to the Wii U as well.
Moving on to an HD release “will no doubt become our next project” assuming the 3DS version succeeds. The best aspect about this? Those who support the Kickstarter with a $15 pledge or more would receive the Wii U version for free.
An official message from The Hand of Panda developer reads:
“If we succeed with the 3DS version, then an HD version will no doubt become our next project. And those of you that help support our 3DS version with a pledge of $15 or more will be given the Wii U version FREE OF CHARGE upon completion. Why you ask? We aren’t freeloaders, and we’ll use your aid and support along with the 3DS sales to help generate revenue for the HD version. We don’t want to ask for money unless we absolutely need too, and since most people either have one game system or the other, we’d like to give something back to those who would actually like to play our game.”
Nintendo opened a new, small hub for Flipnote Studio 3D today. The website confirms a launch date for the downloadable application: July 3. Nintendo hasn’t provided a specific overseas release window yet, but it should arrive around the same time.
Senran Kagura Burst has hit a new sales milestone. Series producer Kenichiro Takaki announced through Twitter that the game managed to surpass 100,000 units sold after being on the market for 37 weeks. Takaki showed appreciation to the fans in his tweet.
