Monster Hunter 4 heading West in 2015

Last year's Monster Hunter 4 for 3DS is finally coming Westward — sometime early next year.

If you've been waiting for the latest game in Capcom's Monster Hunter action role-playing series, you're going to have to hold on another year or so. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is headed out way in 2015, announced series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto. It's basically Monster Hunter 4G, which means it's an updated version of the game and not a standard port.

MH4 Ultimate will support both online and local wireless multiplayer. The game will also introduce more vertical and lateral movement, which "opens up new possibilities by expanding the range of actions to create more fluid and dynamic hunting experiences," according to Tsujimoto.
