Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
At New York Comic-Con last week, Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura revealed a new collaboration with Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. The Kingdom Hearts III director is making original male and female weapons along with armor and original Felyne equipment.
Nomura spoke a bit about his involvement with Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate with Famitsu this week. “I’ve publicly stated that I love the Monster Hunter series, especially the multi-player,” he said. “So when I received the offer, I was honestly very happy.”
Nomura’s designs are specifically made for the west. They’re not available in the Japanese version of the game, which launched last week.
