The latest issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu reveals some scans and new information about Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, Capcom's expansion to the successful PlayStation Portable game Monster Hunter Freedom 2nd. The new game for PSP was first announced during this year's Tokyo Game show.

It has already been revealed that Portable 2nd G will sport new stages and monsters, not to mention the option to use and convert your Monster Hunter Freedom 2nd save data before beginning a new adventure in the expansion. We learned today that the new sequel will carry a lot more improvements than the ones we just mentioned.

Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G will now support online co-operative play via the infrastructure mode. Aside from that, the game will also have faster loading times even when the BG option is turned on. Here are some of the other additions as translated by NeoGAF forum members:
  • All data that isn't game breaking will carry over
  • You can change sex at which point sex-specific gear will also change.
  • While hunting, an otomoail can be brought along, limited to one in single-player. There are many different types, with different patterns and abilities. They can be trained in the Ail Kitchen.
  • G-class quests are unlocked, and other upper-rank quests are added, including the top-rank "Village Chief" quest from Necote.
  • New monsters "Lightning Dragon Nargagarga", "Soaring Dragon Yamatsukami". Nargagarga looks like Tigarex in the body, and has a black panther motif (including face).
  • Palette swap of Daimyo Uzaza also appears.
  • New field "Deep Forest" in addition to previously-seen Volcano, Dunes, Cliffs, Forbidden Woods.
  • On sharpness gauge, purple is now above white
  • Mail for paint added.
  • Lightning-elemental gunlance added.
  • New varieties of hunter's pipes added.
Quite unfortunately, Capcom has yet to make an official statement whether Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G will be released in other markets outside Japan. The game is expected to come out in March 2008. While waiting for more details and other confirmation, just enjoy the magazine scans below.
