Wow that's lame, no music? I understand Nintendo's focus on games but atleast give the Wii U some other functions. >_>

It doesn't make much sense either, they way they are pushing it as kind of a media hub.

Thanks DarkRabbit! Thats a gamechanger. And yes Dusean, I feel exactly the same!

"Die" is a strong word here I think, but maybe I'm just really hopeful for some sort of turnaround. I'll agree with others that the Vita doesn't have much to offer compared to the 3DS. Sure, personaly tastes come to mind, but I think the 3DS has had more bigger titles, especially in recent times and it's expected that more will come considering its success in Japan.

The game basically bombed on the 3DS, so why would it do better on a dying handheld?

Dying system? The PSV may not be selling like hot cakes but it's far from dying.

Different types of gamers are buying these two systems, as I said earlier, CoD on Vita sold 317,000 in the US alone last year which is more than RE:R sold since its release early in the year. On top of this there are a range of other Vita titles, like ACIII:L and U:GA, that have sold around the same or more than RE:R, considering how many more 3DS systems have been sold that says a lot about the type of gamers that are buying the system.

RE:R is arguably one of the best games on the 3DS, it didn't bomb because of its quality or brand recognition but rather it is not a game suited to the 3DS; hence them now porting the game to other systems.

Pokemon is a handheld console seller... it's not for consoles. Cross-play isn't even all that important... The 3DS needs games too... That's like saying, "OoT 3D got a port to the 3DS, there's no excuse for Nintendo to not put that onto the Wii". You're acting like it's a required thing, and it most definitely isn't.

Tablet gaming will never kill consoles. Lets make this simple.....TABLETS SUCK!!!!

I can see that, I have 4 retail games for my PS Vita and I have several digital titles.
I play it everyday although if Sony would give more effort towards Vita it would have done much better, the issue is they are giving PS3 more attention, we understand that it is a home console but when a portion of your figures is slowing because a mistake you have made with your device then it needs to be fixed.

It needs to be the main priority.

Yeah for sure, I think Sony thought that 3rd party would carry Vita through 2012, I still don't know how CoD flopped. Not really into CoD but that could've been a HUGE title for Vita but yet it turned out rubbish. Vita has everything it needs to be an awesome handheld, it has the power, all these fancy features. I do like that new cross buy idea, that's really neat.

The 3DS' defining year? With what games...?

Here's some of the currently announced Vita games for this year:

• Killzone - Mercenary
• Tearaway
• Gods Eater 2
• Dead or Alive 5+
• Ninja Gaiden - Sigma 2+
• Soul Sacrifice

Not an amazing list but personally with all the games I got at the end of last year I'll be busy with my Vita for quite some time while my 3DS is collecting dust.

These games wont significantly boost Vita sales but they are some of the bigger titles that we know of at this point. I am hopeful that Sony is smart enough to have some big game announcements for E3 or elsewhere later in the year. A big first party title like God of War would definitely do the Vita well but at this point we can only hope there is one in the works, there were rumours that the Vita was getting a new MGS title so we'll also have to wait and see on that.

The Vita's highest selling game in the US last year was CoD:BOD that sold 317,000 units, the game that was slammed by critics for being utter crap and yet it sold the most copies on the system. It just goes to show that these people aren't after quality games, just names they recognise. Compare this to RE:R, arguably the best game on the 3DS on the 3DS, that sold less than 200,000 units in the US since its release it really shows you what kind of gamers are buying each of these systems. On top of this the highest selling third party title on the 3DS in its lifetime is Angry Birds with over 400,000 units sold.

It is also worth mentioning there is word of a Vita price drop sometime this year so that's something to keep an eye out for also.

The Vita will not die by October... It's not a system with mass appeal like the 3DS so it's going to take longer to pick up just like the PSP, the games will continue to come at a reasonable pace and we can only hope they announce more throughout the year; until then we can only wait.

the vita is exactly like the psp no support at all.

Falser words have never been spoken.

Waitwut? There's a Sly Cooper on the Vita? That and Katamari will make me tempted during the supposed price drop that's coming out. Maybe a bundle... Never had a PSP and I'm behind on 3DS games already but I almost feel bad for Sony at this point.

Sly Cooper is coming out in February I think, it's pretty much the same as the PS3 version but I think they are offering cross buy on it so if you buy the PS3 version you get both.

Only Sly and Katamari interest you on the Vita?

I own a Vita. I must say I do enjoy the handheld quite a bit. The features are really neat. I agree the Vita needs more AAA games.

I'm looking more forward to the Wii U version of Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate. I really enjoyed the Wii version of it, and from I've heard 4 won't have water sections, which is a bummer because I liked those.

Of course it could threaten the wii u, they're competitors.

Getting it most defintely, getting my Wii U this Summer.
Importing the Japanese version if I have to or is it coming in English?

Yes, the game is getting localized. Coming this March on Wii U and 3DS.

If my parents allow me to play it then yes!  I hope its an overworld based game, so I can get insparation to make my own game (not the same game)! Is it 16+, because if it is, there is 20% chance of me getting it!
Also, is there a no gore mode? The wii version is pretty bloody!

If I remember correctly Monster Hunter Tri had a "Turn off blood" in the Options, but since I never used it I don't know if it turns it off completely or just tones it down. You can also lessen how much blood is shown by using elemental weapons.

Having the on-screen dpad seems a little pointless for the Wii U version...

Other than that, this looks awesome!

Sorry 3DS version, but I want to play Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate in my HDTV. I already have the Wii version and don't want to have 3 times the same game. Also I hope the Wii U version have better graphics.
