The newest issue of Famitsu has revealed details about the upcoming Monster Hunter 4 game from Capcom. This is one of the most wanted titles for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan, and there are many fans who are hoping to get details about a Western release sometime soon. It's being released in Japan next spring.
Also detailed by Famitsu are Step Actions, which allow players to run through height differences in the land and make their characters jump. Attacks can also be performed this way in mid-air. Synthesis was also mentioned, which allows two partner Felynes to team up for group attacks. The last thing that was revealed was the Goa Magara – a new monster and major part of the storyline. More details are to be released at a later date.
