Famitsu is up to its fairly typical teasing antics. Included in a notice for the magazine’s next issue is the mention of a new scoop. Famitsu also intends to share news about an indie game, though it’s unclear if there’s any relation to the tease. Even more Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate coverage is planned as well.
Famitsu scoops can be either hit or miss, so take the latest scoop tease as you will. There have been issues that have resulted in some great announcements and reveals about pre-existing games, while others have turned out to be duds. We’ll see how this one turns out in a few days!
The Super Smash Bros. for 3DS National Open Tournament will kick off at 6 PM ET / 3 PM PT. It’ll last for about three hours. Enjoy!
