The team behind Monster Hunter 4 has revealed on stage at TGS 2012 that the game will have online play. The developers demoed the online play on stage by playing with their colleagues back at HQ.

Not only is online play a pretty big deal but the Japanese have to wait long with the game to be released by March 2013. Japan will never be the same.

Sadly Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate still won’t have online when it launches here around the same time.
