Believe it or not, Monster Hunter Stories wasn’t made by Capcom. Instead, it was actually Marvelous who handled it for the most part. Capcom may have been on board for some creative aspects – and publishing of course – but it was Marvelous who put the project together.

Monster Hunter Stories’ credits also show that Ken Awata directed the game. We unfortunately don’t know much about his history, aside from the fact that he was involved with games such as The Last Story and Blue Dragon.

Last week, Famitsu provided its first extensive report on Monster Hunter XX. The magazine’s coverage included an interview with some of the game’s developers.

The production team structure is as follows: Ryozo Tsujimoto is still producing the entire series, and Shintaro Kojima is the main producer just like with the previous title. However, this time the director is Daisuke Ichihara, who used to work as a planner on Monster Hunter Generations and supervised monster productions. Takuro Hiraoka, who was also part of the planning team, is the main planner on XX. Yasunori Ichinose, as the director for Monster Hunter Generations, will act as backup, supervising the concept and follow-up on the production so that he can make sure there will be a proper evolution from the last game.

Last week, Capcom released the newest round of Monster Hunter Generations DLC for the month of November. View some footage of the content in the Twitch archive below.

Capcom has uploaded five separate trailers for weapons featured in Monster Hunter XX. While the videos aren’t in English, we can see that each features a different weapon from the game, while also showcasing the new “brave style” combat gauge that allows you to fuel special attacks from parrying blows. The weapon trailers are listed below in the order of: Bow and Arrow, Heavy Bowgun, Light Bowgun, Insect Glaive and Charge Axe. You can find the videos after the break.

Update (11/10): For those with a Japanese 3DS, you can now pre-order the Monster Hunter XX Limited Edition on Play-Asia.

Capcom published Mega Man X3 on the European New 3DS Virtual Console a few months ago. Tomorrow, North America will be joining in on the fun as well. Nintendo’s website confirms a release date of November 10.

Here’s what you need to know about the game:

“After discovering a virus that is turning intelligent and peaceful robots known as Reploids into rogue Mavericks, the scientist Dr. Doppler successfully creates an antivirus to the phenomenon. The reformed Reploids then move into Dopple Town, a place where humans and Reploids can live together in harmony. But when an outbreak occurs causing the Reploids to turn back into Mavericks, Maverick Hunters Mega Man X and Zero are sent to contain the situation.

Choose either Mega Man X or Zero as you run, jump, dash, scale walls, avoid obstacles, and fight enemies in eight challenging stages. At the end of each stage, defeat the boss to gain a special weapon that will aid you in the upcoming battles. Will you be the cure for this latest outbreak?”

Pricing for Mega Man X3 is set at $7.99.
