Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that "Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate" (Japanese title: "Monster Hunter 4G") won Award of Excellence in the Games of the Year Division at the Japan Game Awards 2015.

"Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate", the winner of Award of Excellence, is the sequel to "Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate", which was released in March 2013 in the west.

In the Future Division, where users vote to select upcoming titles with the highest expectations, two of Capcom titles were recognized: " Monster Hunter X (Cross) ", "Ace Attorney 6(Working title)".
