Posted December 5, 2012 As confirmed in today's Nintendo Direct: "MH3U has over 2000 additional weapons and pieces of armour, and over 30 new monsters." Good luck forging all of those... N-europe has a chat board? You heathen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh god...this game will be the end of me lol, i hope they do a pack in with both the 3ds and WiiU game in one set, i love the idea of having a single profile between both games. Although...id also love to have the game literally on my 3DS memory so its with me by default and i dont have to worry about having the card in the machine, maybe they could package the downloadble game code with a special edition of the WiiU game...

Posted December 8, 2012 Change the region to Japan on Miiverse and you can access the MH board. Its obviously all in Japanese but still, its nice to get a taste of things to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 10, 2012 I see that this doesn't support off TV play. Suppose it makes sense due to the 3DS version coming out as well. Also, USB keyboards don't work so you will have to use the Gamepads touchscreen to chat, unless they out voice chat in the western release....I can hope, right?

Posted December 10, 2012 I have no issue with the lack of USB keyboard support. The standard software is more than good enough. The lack of voice chat support sucks though and I hope they patch it in later on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 24, 2012 Soooo......any Monster Hunter news? There's a Capcom Unity blog going over some of the localisation choices and why some monster names were changed/unchanged from the JPN version... http://www.capcom-unity.com/reno/blog/2012/12/21/monster-hunter-3-ultimate---localization-notes-part-1 Interesting stuff Otherwise... It's out in Japan and (surprise surprise!) it's supposedly the dog's bollocks. That's about it in terms of news :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 24, 2012 Guys, does anyone know: - How many hours into/at what point in the game does the new content (the monsters, not the equipment) pop up? - How many of the 30 new monsters are clones? (ie Baggi/Jaggi, Rathalos/Rathian) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 24, 2012 Guys, does anyone know: - How many hours into/at what point in the game does the new content (the monsters, not the equipment) pop up? - How many of the 30 new monsters are clones? (ie Baggi/Jaggi, Rathalos/Rathian) The new content is interspersed with the old, so you'll find new quests scattered amongst the old as early as the 1 & 2 star quests. Can't remember how many monsters are clones, but the majority of new ones come from Portable 3rd IIRC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(ie Baggi/Jaggi, Rathalos/Rathian) Think the new monsters have different attacks and patterns so I doubt there are any clones. Can't speak from experience tho. And rathalos/rathian aren't clones. They look similar, have similar moves, but they are quite a few differences between them to make them have their own feel and impression on the player.

Yes Rathalos/Rathian aren't clones but I'm sorry this is a lazy port and an easy cash-in from Capcom. Where's the rest of their support? For all we know that game could have been promised as part of the original contract between Nintendo and Capcom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am practically buying the wii u for MH3U so I need to know why you have this view of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, as much as I love MH, I've already spent like 400 hours with Tri, I'd feel "dirty" by double dipping, I guess... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 4, 2013 What are we looking at? I take it you don't play Monster Hunter? Guy jumps into new area, only to instantly get attacked off Winnie the Poohs angry brother before even landing. He was waiting for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 4, 2013 Ive never played a MH game. Does it have a story akin to xenoblade? For all effects and purposes, it has no story. It's purely a gameplay driven beast. Also, if you play videogames for the story, you're doing it wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
