It appears that Monster Hunter 4 won’t be heading to the PlayStation Vita after all – at least for the time being.
Capcom’s Christian Svensson, responding to the rumor from Japanese gaming magazine Game Lab, said:
“There are no plans at the moment beyond platforms that have been announced. Obviously rumors and speculation will continue regardless of what I tell you.”
This doesn’t mean that Monster Hunter 4 will never hit the Vita. Capcom has already brought Monster Hunter Tri, initially a Wii game, to the 3DS and Wii U.
Update: Pre-orders also up on GameStop. Same price and release date.
Consumers can now pre-order Pandora’s Tower from Amazon. The Wii RPG was announced for North America earlier this week.
Amazon currently lists a $39.99 price point for Pandora’s Tower. A release date of March 26 is also on the product page, but XSEED has not officially confirmed the game’s release date.
You can pre-order Pandora’s Tower here.
With Trine 2’s original release, Frozenbyte prepared a boxed version for Europe. That begs the question: could Director’s Cut ever get a retail edition as well?
When one fan asked if a hardcover version would be made available, Frozenbyte left the door open to the possibility. However, in order to make this happen, the developer would need to form a partnership with another company and cautions that the whole process would “take a lot of time to arrange.”
Frozenbyte said:
“It’s a possibility… we’d need a partner for it though, so even if we decide to go for it, it will in any case take a lot of time to arrange, so it’s hard to say when it could happen… we’ll? see!”
