Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: Mega Man Costume and Nomura Armor

Capcom's Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate gains yet another costume from a famous gaming franchise as Tetsuya Nomura contributes his own armor designs to boot.

Posted on Capcom-Unity, we have learned that Mega Man is the latest franchise to bring its unique look to the Felynes of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. There are already Palico Felynes armors based on Samus, Link, Sonic and the characters of Animal Crossing, so it makes sense that Mega Man would be next. The Palico Mega Man outfit comes with Rock's traditional blue armor with a staff made from Rush's helmet.

Capcom also announced on Twitter that Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is getting two new armor sets designed by Tetsuya Nomura, the character designer of the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts series. Nomura also designed a Felyne outfit based on the Warrior from the first Final Fantasy title (more specifically, its concept art).

While no release date has been set, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate just launched in Japan (as Monster Hunter 4G) and is expected to debut in North America sometime in early 2015.
