This week’s issue of Famitsu contains new information about Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. For a summary of what’s included in the magazine, read on below.
– Can send others flying on the back of monsters
– This gives a purpose to the move that’s used to send your buddies flying sky high
– When a monster sends you flying in the air, you won’t be able to take advantage of that and do the same thing
– The feature is being added due to the lack of ledges in some areas
– Capcom believes it will add a whole new way of cooperating with your fellow Hunters
– G-rank Guild Quests will be included
– Previous version only went up to seven stars in High Rank
– The G-rank will introduce tougher challenges and stronger monsters
– New sub-species for monsters like the Garara Ajara, Genel Serutas, Kechawacha, Tetsukabura, Zaboazagill,
– This will give them different characteristics and attacks from their normal counterparts
– The Old Desert area will also be making a return
– Will need Cold Drinks (and Hot Drinks during the night) to take on the likes of Cephadrome and Daimyo Hermitaur
– The trailer also teased a new monster at the end, which some feel that it may be related to Gore Magala
From Ryozo Tsujimoto:
“It has more of a slender body-type when compared with all the other monsters we’ve had up until now, and the distinct gap it has between its fingers will also be another focus. I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination for the time being.”
On Twitter, 4 Corner Games stated that I’ve Got to Run! is currently on track for a June release. It’s also “now likely” we’ll be seeing a European release as well.
4 Corner’s tweet is as follows:
I've Got to Run! is aiming for a June 2014 release in North America for the Wii U eShop. A European release is now likely.

Bandai Namco continues to produce extra songs for Taiko no Tatsujin Wii U. This includes the theme song from Attack on Titan, which is available for free right now.
Other recent song additions include the Balloon Trip theme, Fever from Dr. Mario, the Legend of Zelda theme, a NES Remix compilation, and the Pokemon X/Y Trainer Battle Medley.
If that wasn’t enough, players can also get their hands on a Monster Hunter 4 costume (see the image above).

Steel Diver: Sub Wars has a bit of a connection with Star Fox. In the game, you may have noticed that Peppy Hare is shown in cameo form.
Despite Peppy’s appearance, the Steel Diver and Star Fox universes are not linked. This is something that Steel Diver: Sub Wars director Takaya Imamura confirmed to Nintendo Life in a recent interview.
He said:
At first, we had some dodgy salesman character acting as a guide, but this turned out to be a bit too shady. Instead we looked for a character that users are more familiar with and gives off a nicer impression, hence we went with Peppy Hare. I’m sorry to say though that there’s no connection to the Star Fox universe.
