This year's 16th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is announcing on Monday that CAPCOM's Nintendo 3DS game Monster Hunter 4 is getting a third One Piece collaboration on March 24 in Japan. Specifically, players can equip themselves with Luffy's GIGANT Pistol and Zoro's "Pirate Hunter's Soul" in the form of three swords from Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga and anime.
Luffy's GIGANT Pistol will be a "Dual Blades" class weapon with an attack power of 322 and a fire attribute of 120. Zoro's "Pirate Hunter's Soul" are "Great Sword" class weapons with an attack power of 528 and a fire attribute of 140. These weapons can be obtained through a collaboration quest.
The game previously featured the character Chopper as an assistant fighter, as well as Nami's Clima-Tact weapon and Usopp's Kabuto weapon.
Kaname Fujioka directed and Ryozo Tsujimoto produced Monster Hunter 4 as they have for previous Monster Hunter games. This game supports up to four players. Manga creator Hiro Mashima (Fairy Tail) already designed original full-body outfits as well as a weapon for the game.
The equivalent of Japan's Monster Hunter 4G version will head west in early 2015 under the title Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.
Other Monster Hunter 4 collaborations include a Super Mario and Legend of Zelda DLC, and a giant spoon weapon from Hiromu Arakawa's Silver Spoon manga.
