Capcom promises brand new info on Monster Hunter 4 at the Tokyo Game Show while the USA Division told fans that EX Troopers localization is not planned at this point.

We have lots of news from Capcom. In fact Capcom has been very good in providing the fans with good news over the past few weeks, from the Ace Attorney 5 hype to their plans of delivering more content every year, the company seems to be on a roll. We have two that we will discuss here

Monster Hunter 4 Info in Tokyo Game Show


Capcom is teasing juicy information regarding Monster Hunter 4 on Tokyo Game Show - Japan's biggest video game event. The report came from Andriasang and it seems that it will be about features of the game and the gameplay system. Lately all we saw are teaser here and teases there. The Tokyo Game show event is promising solid info straight from the source's mouth.

But of course, a Monster Hunter game is now announced for an American release date. It's just that we don't know if it will be Monster Hunter 3G or Monster Hunter 4.

EX Troopers Plans


Remember E.X Troopers? Yes, we covered the game a lot and it seems that Capcom USA is not planning on localizing it for the western audience. Yes. There will be no English release. Why? Here's what Christian Svensson has to say:
No because EX Troopers isn't part of the LP series officially (thus the difference in name) nor are there plans to bring it Westward at this time.
So EX Troopers isn't part of the Lost Planet series despite the game happening in the Lost Planet universe? I think Mr. Svensson is right in what he said. Then so, why should EX Troopers not being officially part of LP be the reason why it won't be localized? Because of the anime - style? Wait, I played Asura's Wrath, and it feels like an anime-style of storytelling to me, and Capcom USA released it.

But remember, Mr. Svensson said there were no plans "at this time." He is not bringing our hopes up but at the same time he is implying that the idea of releasing it is also being explored. Perhaps we have heard so many good news in Capcom lately that it's time to hear a different one.

And also, Remember that EX Troopers is being developed both for the PS3 and the 3DS. Perhaps he is just speaking for only one platform?
