For the 11 or so other people on this site......I mean 10 or so people that might still come to this site that own a Wii U or a 3DS, the demo for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is now up on the Eshop for both systems. I've played the original Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii and it was a great game. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is that and more. I suggest that you download the demo and see for yourselves. Or you could look up videos to see if it's to your liking.
The Wii U demo is 890 MB. The 3DS demo is 1615 blocks.
Info on the demo
The free single player demo will feature two full quests, one for beginner players and another for intermediate hunters, in addition to 12 different weapon options for players to choose for their battle. Players will have to brave the elements of the frozen tundra against the fierce Lagombi and take the fight against the aquatic Plesioth on land AND into the water!
Hunters are encouraged to test and hone their skills now, as the full game will hit retail stores in North America on March 19, 2013 and across Europe on March 22, 2013.
In Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, players take on the role of a hunter sent to explore a settlement within the Monster Hunter universe, completing quests on their journey to seek and slay monsters while improving their skills and earning equipment upgrades. With many challenging monsters and over 200 quests, the latest addition to the series is set to be the most expansive offering to date. The game can be played alone and offers a bevy of multiplayer set-up options: online (up to four players) on the Wii U system, or locally using up to four Nintendo 3DS systems or a combination of up to three Nintendo 3DS systems and one Wii U system.
