lostmario Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) Wii Speak news is great, 4 people shouldn't produce too much echo. Hopefully we'll have quite a few N-E groups. Edited February 1, 2010 by lostmario
david.dakota Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Now they only need to confirm free online and it will be a millionseller. I'm not expecting free online - maybe a 'first month free' promotion. I'd almost expect 1000 Wii Points per month. Out of interest, has the States got Wii Speak? If not, does this mean online is limited to continent? Wii Speak news is great, 4 people shouldn't produce too much echo. Its not too bad on AC - do you still get on that Lostie?
lostmario Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Its not too bad on AC - do you still get on that Lostie? True, it used to be very clear on that. Not played it since I got the 360 , didn't help that the online community died.
Ike Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 So are we not getting a bundle with a white classic controller pro?
david.dakota Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Has it been announced what multiplayer options there are?
Dante Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Muliplayer options? Two player, split screen co-operative mode lets you enter the arena to take on a series of monsters with fellow hunters and four players is walking around looking for monsters and doing quests/shopping.
welsh_gamer Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 I wonder what sort of price we'll see those bundles go at? £45 for the Classic Controller bundle and £55 for the Controller and Wii Speak maybee. Also, could someone explain the objective of the game to me in one sentence, like I'm a 6 year old? It's Pokemon-esque right? I haven't really been following it's progess *slaps wrists* but I'm defintley intrested.
lostmario Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Its very similar to Phantasy Star Online isn't it?
Dante Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 MH3 is region locked and DLC will be available.
darksnowman Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 MH3 is region locked and DLC will be available. Looks like that DLC is gonna be free of charge in the states. Here's hoping they carry that through for us Europeans.
david.dakota Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Here's hoping they carry that through for us Europeans. Why do that when they can shaft us?
Hero-of-Time Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 MH3 is region locked and DLC will be available. Good to hear. I was hoping it would be region locked, just like first game on the PS2. It made for a tighter community when playing the game. As for the DLC, if they mean new weekly quests like they did for the first game then these were free on the PS2 so I don't see why they would charge for them now.
Dante Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 I think Japan already has them called events. English screenshots are out.
killer kirby Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Latest Japanese sales Monster Hunter 3 - 2,600 / 1,000,200 / 98% Well done to Capcom and Monster Hunter, they have now become the first 3rd party company/game to have sold 1 million copies on a Nintendo home console in Japan since Dragon Quest VI (Or was it IIIr?) on the super Nintendo. And another note, it's the first Monster Hunter game on a home console to reach a million. So now the game has become nothing more then a casual game, congrats
darksnowman Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 So now the game has become nothing more then a casual game, congrats Right well I'm not buying it then. I take it they turned the Monster Hunter series into some mini-game collection to pander to the Wii audience? :wink:
Guest Captain Falcon Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Not sure if they honour pre-order prices if they change but shopto have the vanilla version for order at £22.95 and I was wondering - this game having a reduced RRP?
welsh_gamer Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Not sure if they honour pre-order prices if they change but shopto have the vanilla version for order at £22.95 and I was wondering - this game having a reduced RRP? Probably not, but I suppose we'll find out once the prices for the bundles have been revealed. ShopTo are known to raise pre-order prices a few weeks before release though, and have no pre-order price guarantee like Amazon, GAME etc. However they do take payment via PayPal nowadays, which is taken out of your account straight away unlike a Credit or Debit Card which is taken out a few days before dispatch, so that could mean that the total you pay is the PayPal amount, regardless of any future changes in price? I havent pre-ordered from ShopTo in a while so I'm not 100% sure
Nolan Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Well done to Capcom and Monster Hunter, they have now become the first 3rd party company/game to have sold 1 million copies on a Nintendo home console in Japan since Dragon Quest VI (Or was it IIIr?) on the super Nintendo. That's rather quite interesting.
killer kirby Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 That's rather quite interesting. The question is...will there be another million seller on the Wii in Japan by a 3rd party? (I know about Dragon Quest X, but even then, nothing is really known about it yet)
Zechs Merquise Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 The question is...will there be another million seller on the Wii in Japan by a 3rd party? (I know about Dragon Quest X, but even then, nothing is really known about it yet) That will defo do a mil, no probs, probably 2 in fact.

STOOPIDDITTIES Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 So glad it's free online. I probably wouldn't have bothered with it otherwise but this makes it a Day 1 purchase now.
Owen Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Free online now means this is a must-have title for me! I can't wait to slay some monsters! Wasn't a fan of the PSP games...but this has something, and supposadely it's easier to get into..right? I'm just getting the game, can't afford the bundles...i have wii speak anyway!
