So, as most of you may know, earlier this year, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate was announced. Well, I've been doing little bits of research here and there, and thought I might as well get a little bit of info for you guys.

Warning: The following information is the only information as of 5/17/14. As the lazy person I am, I may fail to update this thread frequently. I hope this is sufficient to your thirst for 4 Ultimate.

International Release Date: Early 2015
*The Game WILL contain Online Multiplayer

Returning Weapons: Sword n' Shield, Dual Blades, Great Sword, Long Sword, Hammer, Hunting Horn, Lance, Gunlance, Switch Axe, Insect Glaive(Insect Staff), Charge Blade(Charge Axe), Light Bow Gun, Heavy Bow Gun, and the Bow. So, every known weapon is in MH4U.

Total Monster Count: 86
There are 64 Large monsters present in MH4U, the most so far in the entire series.

Returning Monsters From 4 With new Subspecies:
Aruserutasu, Garara Ajara, Generu Serutasu, Kechawacha, Nerusukyura, Testukabura, Zaboazagiru
Yes, these aren't the localized versions of their names, and I don't have images. So, you can ignore this if you please.

Returning Monsters from Gen 1 and 2:
Damyo Hermitaur and Hermitaur, Apceros, Cephadrome, Cephalos, Diablos, Monoblos

New Monsters: Only 1, and it appears at the end of the latest Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate trailer. Possibly the FlagShip monster. There is no information it lately, so this monster will now be referred to as Steve. Say hello to Steve.

New Features: So, you guys remember the implemented monster-mounting feature from 4? Where you climbed on a monster's back, and rode it, stabbing with your carving knife? WELL, they've decided to take the very counter-productive launch of other hunters(like getting hit by hammer), and you can be sent onto the back of the monster.
So basically, using the upswing from a hammer, you can get a mid-air combo, and mount the monster's back.

This is all I have so far. I WILL try to update when possible. Not alot of info, but whatever.
HYPE.

I suppose no one really cares about this game much? Whatever. I'll probably just close this topic soon anyways.
