None because it's the localized version of a game that's been out in Japan for 6 months and there is no amiibo support in the original Japanese game.
 
Ah, I was happy to see this pop up in the direct, simply cannot wait for it to release!
 
I'm looking forward to this :D


I hope playing as a Felyne is like playing as a regular human (in that you can keep crafting new gear, different weapons, etc) rather than like a pre-set novelty I'll use for an hour then forget about. I'll play as one permanently if it's viable.
 
Some localizations and images;

Great Maccau is now Great Maccao (thus the Maccau minion is most likely Maccao)
Dinovaldo is now Glavenu
Raizekusu is now Astalos
Gamuto is now Gammoth
Tamamitsune is now Mizutsune
Named Variants are now called Deviants
Ruinous Hook Claw Tigrex is now Grimclaw Tigrex
Violet Poison Princess Rathian is now Dreadqueen Rathian

Bishido Hunting Style is now Adept
Nyanta Hunting Style is now Prowler
Guild, Striker and Ariel stay the same

New area names
Beruna Village is now Bherna Village
Ancient Forest is now Jurassic Frontier

Some areas from previous generations seem to have gone through name changes, too
Forest and Hills is now Verdant Hills
Snowy Mountains is now Arctic Ridge

Wow, pretty fast localisation for Capcom. Was expecting it to be at least a year with their other releases. Sales must have been good with 4U, let's just hope for Capcom that they manage to make it as successful in the West as 4U and continue to take us seriously.
 
ugh is this a bad time to get MH4 now? XD

Not at all, although depending on how much time you play it, 4 could last you up to release. From what I've seen it'll have quite a few different monsters in it, including ones from the older games, as well as a few from 4 - it was the strongest in the franchise along with Unite, so could get it for cheap and decide from the gameplay whether Generations is for you. :) The online multiplayer still remains quite strong, so it's well worth playing.

No because the two games are completely different, so you're fine. You can also transfer data from 4U over to Gen so it's worth getting. It's also a really good game so there's that too.
Only problem is that it's a pretty lengthy game. I've clocked in about 500 hours in 4U and I'm still not finished. So since Gen is coming out in the summer you probably won't complete the game before it releases.
