Nintendo Direct (JP only to my knowledge) in the next 10 minutes for MH4G. I can post what's announced after if wanted.
Edit: Meh...it was alright.
They went over the N3DS features and how they relate to MH4G. They basically had a demo guild quest where someone used the N3DS C-Stick and such. It worked as expected, however it showed Diablos and the desert terrains for the Guild Quests (which were originally only in a forest-type area). Diablos looks pretty much identical to how he used to be except his un-digging attack differs a little from how it used to be. Nothing really spectacular there.
Then they did a run in Dodoruma (spelling might be wrong), the old town area that was present in MHDos-MHFU. The larger arena area has been changed to include a special new ballista system, that you load using cannonballs from the map. You fill it into the two slots on it, and can fire it at any time, but it can store up to 20 cannonballs. The ballista can be moved around on the map using buttons on the side of the contraption, and rail tracks over the map (that look to be destroyable by the monster). Its aim is set based on where it is on the map. It looks pretty cool but it seems to be extremely time consuming for little reward.
They went over 4 collaboration events that are going to happen that weren't in previous games.
1) Some anime I've never heard of. It gets a fancy HH, with special note icons and looks kinda cool. I don't know more, the name banner they used was completely in Japanese and I didn't see it long enough to give a good look over the name.
2) Sonic Cat outfit (which was previously announced) will give your cat Sonic sound effects for when he moves, jumps, attacks, and takes damage. Kinda cool but I can see that getting ridiculously annoying. But cool regardless.
3) Resetti and Isabelle also get their own sound effects and they showed them off a little. I'm pretty sure they're cats you will get through the downloadable menu for free, and can recruit them from the cat farm.
4) Metroid. There's going to be Varia Suit and Zero Suit Samus outfits. Most likely the Male version will be Varia and female version will be Zero Suit, however I don't know for certain (makes sense though). There's also a Suit Cannon HBG that changes the cannon based on the shots loaded into it, which is really cool.
Overall they didn't really announce anything new though. A few new collabs are nice but not really that big of a deal (in my opinion). Was hoping for a monster reveal or new trailer. I guess I'll have to wait about a week before I get to see what's in and what's not for certain.
