"Well guys, it’s been a heck of a week. Lots of fires, babies and beavers yelling at us not to use Joe Chin’s chains. Or maybe we’ve overdosed on Um Jammer Lammy, hence the title of this week’s podcast.
Pixelitis staffers Patrick Kulikowski, Karen Rivera and guest Chris Caravella chatted at length about the insanity that is Um Jammer Lammy with all it’s brightly colored and psychedelic cutscenes worthy of any Hunter S. Thompson gonzo journalism piece (we think). But it’s not all just about the cry chop block, as the trio digs into the latest news from the past week, including the recent reveal of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate for North America."

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has been discounted to $16.33 on 3DS and $19.79 on Wii U. Also on sale are Monster Hunter 4 ($28.99) as well as the upcoming Monster Hunter Generations ($31.99 for Amazon Prime members).
Check out a gallery of images for the epic-looking figure, designed by Final Fantasy's Tetsuya Nomura.

Here’s Monster Hunter X‘s launch numbers compared to previous big 3DS titles:

When Monster Hunter gets made for a non-Nintendo console I'll be more interested. I'd be much happier with a PS4/Xbone version with fully integrated online play.
