posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
CAPCOM began streaming two introduction videos on Saturday for the Monster Hunter X (pronounced "Cross") Nintendo 3DS game. The videos introduce the "dual blades" and "sword and shield" weapon classes. The videos feature guild and aerial fighting styles for both weapons, and also features each weapon class's Hunting Art.
CAPCOM previously streamed introduction videos for long swords and great swords.
The game will ship in Japan on November 28. CAPCOM is also offering a New Nintendo 3DS LL (called XL in the West) bundle on the same day. The bundle will cost 26,000 yen (about US$209) and will include a copy of Monster Hunter X, as well as a touch pen, a 4GB memory card, and six AR cards.
The game will feature Shuryō Style (Hunting Style) movesets, which will allow players to tailor their style of hunting to their preference. The game also contains 14 weapon types, each of which will feature a Kariwaza (Hunting Art), which can be high-damage moves or effects that boost players' capabilities.
CAPCOM also revealed in June that the MonHun Nikki Pokapoka Airū-mura DX (pronounced Deluxe) Nintendo 3DS game will ship on September 10 in Japan. CAPCOM is also developing the Monster Hunter Stories Nintendo 3DS game for 2016. The game is the first RPG in the Monster Hunter franchise.
