Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Demo, Hyrule Warriors Majora's Mask DLC Available Today
If you are a seasoned Monster Hunter (or want to take on Capcom’s popular series for the first time), today’s a good day to start. Nintendo has announced via its weekly email that a demo for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate hits the eShop today.
For those not familiar with Monster Hunter and its ilk, you (and some friends) take up arms to battle large, ferocious monsters. Doing so yields materials for crafting, which you can in turn use to make better armor and stronger weapons. The full version will be out on February 13 for 3DS.
Also this week, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is available for pre-purchase and pre-load. It will unlock on February 20 when the title is released for Wii U.
The final highlight for the week is the arrival of the Majora’s Mask-themed DLC for Hyrule Warriors. We know you’ve been dying to play as Tingle (and who could blame you). The DLC will run you $7.99, but it’s also part of the season pass.
Our Take
It seems like a good time to return to Hyrule Warriors, at least for a laugh. And for Monster Hunter fans, we suspect you’ll have plenty with which to keep your busy until the full game is out next week.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
