Hopefully there are alot of new areas and a few new monster =/. I'd do well if it had more than tri-G. Anyhoo hoping for the same thing to happen with Monster Hunter 4. Unlike the 3DS the Wii U can actually handle having a large open-world and still look nice...and it's more likely to have online.

I don't know much about it. Anyone explain the game in a nutshell? Convince me to play it because I love online multiplayer!

Thanks, Trick. If online is great, I will add it to my U library. It sounds cool. I would look up vids but I am on my phone.

WWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAAAAAAAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

I'm not exaggerating. I'm so incredibly excited. MH3 didn't sell that well here so I was scared I would never see another MH crossing the JP border... And I guess it will not only be a remake right? Anyway WOOOOOOOOOOT

Yes I will be buying the Wii U version, maybe the 3DS one. And I have friends that like monster hunter so I'll be playing online.

So this pretty much is the localisation of 3G on 3DS with a few bonus extras and cross platform. Whats going to happen to the japenese gamers who already own 3G?

And you actually have to be really, and I mean REALLY clever to be good at this game, since you need to develop a technique for each monster. It's such a unique experience, and that's why it's so popular.

Oh and Nintendo kinda just stole Sony's cross save and made it better!
Fanboy: "Who cares about All-Stars, I WANT MONSTER HUNTER"

Is ultimate Wii U going to be released in Japan?
Monster Hunter TriG HD?

Their gonna have to patch TriG for the CrossSave functionality

Nintendo did not steal anything from Sony, this game is made by Capcom and they choose what features put in the game. But on second thought, maybe in the next Super Smash Nintendo will put the same feature, and yes, then you're right.

[WiiLovesU]

I'm a little nervous this is going to be a bust or too confusing with the controller. Big hopes but pretty nervous.

This will be epic with the GamePad if used right

I know, I'm just saying that Sony started CrossSave, and now Nintendo is doing it as well, seems to me like a great Cross Platform feature for Portable and Handhelds for next gen

I've seen footage of Monster Hunter Tri-G (this game's Japanese version; it's been out for going on a year for the 3DS), and the touch controls were pretty well pulled off, giving you a customizable touch screen interface. Here's an overview video that shows it off.

Granted that while this video is for the 3DS, I'd say that they'll use the Wii U GamePad in the same way.

Where did you get that from? If it's reliable, it's so freaking crazy !!! Oh and do I need to say that my body wasn't ready?

[The Video Gamer]

So this pretty much is the localisation of 3G on 3DS with a few bonus extras and cross platform. Whats going to happen to the japenese gamers who already own 3G?

Their going to get Monster Hunter 3G HD Version on launch day along with a bundle which includes Wii U Premium Set, Wii U Pro Controller and the game. It'll also support the cross-platform connectivity and transferring. I'm thinking Capcom might have planned all the way back to when Tri-G started or was in development, especially since Yuri said that the Wii U version has been in works for a long time.

[JaylisJayP]

Count me in as someone who has never played a Monster Hunter game but is excited this is part of the launch window lineup. When it hits around $35 I'm sure I'll pick it up and give it a go.

This is a game that will NOT have a price drop before a while, and I'm talking about a lot of time. Well if you do get one for that price, you'd have seen triple rainbows and hell unicorns eating cheesecake the same day.

Monster Hunter is pretty unique and hard to summarize...as the title infers, you are a Monster Hunter and take jobs hunting down different types of monsters...you can also have your own living area, forge weapons, farm and such in the mean time...but there are some hardcore monsters out there...and you can't just go in smashing buttons like a hack and slash and expect to own everything. Every monster is unique and you really have to stay on your toes and think. There will be small monsters, packs of monsters, and mega omfg monsters....its a great game..and if they do the online right...I may never leave my Wii U.

What weapons do you use? ex. Swords, Knifes, Ray guns, Machine Guns, Shields, Bombs, Force, etc.
