Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate gets a Metroid injection
It's more of the Samus, but not as you might expect. As revealed in today's Nintendo Direct for Japan, the latest Nintendo collaboration for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate brings Metroid-style gear to Capcom's multiplayer action-RPG. Capcom Unity along with Nintendo of Europe then indicated the Metroquipment is headed to the Western versions of the 3DS game, too.
Details are sparse at present, but as Siliconera reports, Nintendo's Direct stream tied the collaboration to Wii title Metroid: Other M. According to Siliconera, players can undertake quests to hunt down what's needed to make both the Varia and Zero suit as well as the Arm Cannon-like weapon featured in a new trailer - you can check out the vid below the break.
For those keeping track, you can add the Samus stuff to already revealed cameos for Animal Crossing's Isaballe and Mr Resetti, along with Zelda and Sonic-themed armor and gear. For the record, we're not taking bets on a Bayonetta collaboration turning up.
The enhanced edition of Capcom's 3DS action-RPG hits Japan this Saturday, October 11. The previous version of Monster Hunter 4 was limited to Japanese shores, so Ultimate will mark the game's debut in North America and Europe when it launches in early 2015.
