All right, so we already know MH4U is getting lots of awesome DLC this month (Metroid, Mega Man and Street Fighter!), but we have even more free goodies for ya! I present you two additional item packs, free of charge: MH4U Support Pack and MH4U Advanced Pack.

You may remember the free Starter pack we released back in March; the idea here is the same, but we’ve grouped the items into two separate packs, one tailored for those just starting the game and the other for hunters that have already sunk in a sizeable amount of hours in the game.

Just note that you don’t have to choose between one or the other – you can, and should, get both packs. But make sure you get them now, as they will only be available until May 31 ^st!

Here’s what you can get:

MH4U Support Pack:

50x Mega Potion
50x Honey
15x Mega Dash Juice
30x Mega Nutrients
10x Max Potion
20x Lifepowder
30x Disposable Earplugs
30x Tranq Bomb
20x Barrel Bomb L+
15x Pitfall Trap
15x Shock Trap
05x Ancient Potion

—

MH4U Advanced Pack:

30x Bomb Casing
10x Hard Armor Sphere
10x Heavy Armor Sphere
10x Energy Drink
10x Cathangea
15x Cathangeafish Fry
15x Scatterfish
05x Portable Steam Bomb
03x Dense Marcoal
05x Dust of Life
20x Armor Stone
3000x Caravan Points

HOW TO GET YOUR ITEM PACKS

REQUIREMENTS:

–          Internet connection
–          A copy of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
–          A save file with at least one hunter created

STEPS:

Note: if you’ve already downloaded Patch 1.1 (released in March), skip steps 1 and 2.

1)      Go to the Nintendo eShop
2)      Download and install Patch 1.1
3)      Load Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
4)      Go to “Your House”
5)      Talk to the “Housekeeper”
6)      Select “Downloadable Content”
7)      Go to the “Gift Area” option
8)      Select the item pack of your liking
9)      Exit the Download Menu
10)    Check your Item Box

WARNING:

Each item pack can only be downloaded ONCE per Game file. If you have more than one character, choose carefully which character you’d like to use to claim the items. In addition, if you delete or lose your Save Data, you will not be able to re-download the pack. We apologize for the inconvenience there.

Remember: these two item packs are totally free, but will only be available until May 31 ^st , so you should get them right now. Happy Hunting! =)

Hop online between now and May 31 for another shot at the Bloody Gina costume… but this time there are THREE giant enemies to take down so your chances to witness one going down have improved!

From residentevil.net:

As always there are some incredible rewards up for grabs, such as a Lv100 Slot 6 Gravedigger for the top 10 players. There are also achievement-based rewards that anyone can earn regardless of their rank.

(You can play this event by accessing the “Event Missions” menu from the red door inside the Vestibule.)

Meanwhile, the RE recollections site has added RE6 materials to the chronology – hop over and browse the RE timeline!

Looking for more awesome content for your  Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate ? How about  Mega Man and  Street Fighter  Palico gear, and 2 sets of armor from the  Metroid series for your hunter? If that sounds good to you, then the May DLC pack is for you – and it’s all free!

So how did you like that little teaser at the end? 😉

Anyways, we have the whole month of May to get all this cool stuff, and before I get to the usual list, let’s just take a moment to identify all the unique weapons and armor here:

Hunter equipment:
– Metroid’s Varia Suit
– Metroid’s Zero Suit
– Metroid’s Arm Cannon
– Taiko Drum Master Hunting Horn
– USJ’s Star Rook armor
– USJ’s Starlight Axe Charge Blade

Palico equipment:
– Mega Man
– Blanka
– Chun-Li
– USJ’s F Star
– Cha-Cha
– Kayamba

Now add all that to  March   and  April content and make sure you have enough free content to make completionists go crazy… especially considering we’re still not done!

Alright, now onto the pure numbers:

14  New quests
5 New weapons
3  Complete armor sets
6 Palico weapons
6  Palico armor sets
1  Bonus Palico:  Yellow Pal
3  Guild Card backgrounds
2  Guild Card poses
15  Guild Card titles
1  Poogie outfit:  Kitchen Pig
New  items sold by the Wycoon

To get this content, all you need to do is  1)  connect your Nintendo 3DS to the Internet,  2)  load your copy of  Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate ,  3)  go to the “DLC” menu and  4)  download all the things!

Quests will be saved under “Event Quests” (with the Questatrix) and “Challenge Quests” (with the Arena Bambina) in the Gathering Hall. G-Rank quests and G-Rank Challege Quests can be found in the Elder Hall and Assembly, respectively.

So good luck getting all that stuff, but please let me know if you do! =)

Happy Hunting!

After covering two iconic Mega Man tracks ( MM2 Dr. Wily Stage and MMX Opening Stage ) Banjo Guy Ollie steps into the Street Fighter ring with an awesome rendition of the theme that goes with everything ! Check it out below:

If you enjoyed this as much as I did, remember to also check out his other Capcom covers:

Mega Man X – Opening Stage
Mega Man 2 – Dr. Wily Stage  

Here’s hoping he continues producing awesome banjo Capcom covers. =)
