Following the game’s announcement earlier today, Capcom has confirmed it will bring Monster Hunter 4G to North America and Europe as Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

“Today we announced that Monster Hunter 4G is in development for Nintendo 3DS in Japan,” producer Ryozo Tsujimoto said in the announcement video. “But we don’t want to leave out our fellow hunters in the west.
