Metroid Collaboration for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Announced

The latest Nintendo Direct - that was aired specifically for the Japanese release of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate - confirmed one more Nintendo collaboration following ones with the Mario and The Legend of Zelda series. Samus Aran from Metroid will be making an appearance in both her Zero Suit and Power Suit with a special bowgun that looks like her iconic arm cannon and makes retro sounds with each shot. Shooting various types of ammo causes the arm cannon to transform, too, which can be seen in the video below.

Fans can look forward to trying out these special costumes and weapons when the game arrives in western territories in early 2015.
