Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate will be playable at the Tokyo Game Show later this month. However, the game won’t be playable on traditional 3DS units.
Capcom has instead announced that the New 3DS will be used for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate’s demo units at the company’s booth as well as the Monster Hunter Carnival events at Nagoya and Osaka. While multiplayer demo stations will be on the New 3DS, all single-player stations will be on the New 3DS XL systems.

Bandai Namco has released two final DLC packs One Piece: Unlimited World Red. As of now, players can purchase the Zoro Armor Pack and Gladiator Pack.
Overviews of each can be found below. Screenshots are posted above.
Zoro Armor Pack
- An extra costume for Zoro, allowing him to wear a suit of sturdy, Western-style armor.
- ‘Watch Your Step’ quest: players need to defeat Black General Franky in this high difficulty quest! Fans will have to use all their offensive power to get the “Old Gold Coin”! Selling it might turn them among the wealthiest pirates!
Gladiator Pack
- Gladiator Pack is a nice surprise that will let fans wrap themselves in the same gladiator armour that Luffy uses to conceal his identity during the Coliseum tournament.
- The gladiator armour costume comes with two versions: ‘full’ to show off or ‘light’ to go unnoticed.
Nexis Games is currently developing The Dance of the Damned, a new game for the Wii U eShop that is emphasizing multiplayer.
Here’s what we know thus far:
The Dance of the Damned is a tale based on love, betrayal and vengeance that takes place during the mid-evil times. Players will embark on this epic journey as Ayamei Shimata a seemingly ordinary young girl that soon becomes known throughout the land as The Dragon Princess. The story begins on a warm summer night during Ayamei’s childhood, a night that started no different from any other but was soon to be one she would never forget.
The Dance of the Damned has some major plans for 2015 and without revealing too much too soon we will let you know that you can expect Multiplayer, in fact I will go as far as saying that the multiplayer interaction in The Dance of the Damned will be unlike anything you have ever seen before. Unfortunately this comes at a cost as the Online features of The Dance of the Damned will launch 8 to 12 months after the initial release. We know this decision is going to upset a lot of people but to ensure we deliver the best product possible, this is the route we have chosen.
You can find a few screenshots from The Dance of the Damned above.
