CAPCOM® CONFIRMS MONSTER HUNTER™ 3 ULTIMATE FOR RELEASE IN MARCH 2013

The Most Expansive Installment in the Monster Hunter™ Series Comes to Europe and North America

SAN MATEO, Calif. — September 13, 2012 —Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today confirmed that Monster Hunter™ 3 Ultimate will be launching on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS across Europe and North America in March 2013.

The popular fantasy action franchise Monster Hunter™ is now one of the most iconic gaming series in the world selling over 21 million copies worldwide since the series began in 2004. Players take on the role of a hunter and are 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 edition to the series is set to be the most expansive offering to date.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate utilizes the functionalities of Wii U and Nintendo 3DS to provide players with a truly intuitive hunting experience. The touch screen feature of both platforms allows players to quickly access in-game books, weapons, field maps and mini games while the high quality graphics of the Wii U and 3D visuals of the Nintendo 3DS powered by the latest iteration of Capcom’s MT Framework® delivers a unique and stunning world for players to explore. Taking advantage of the portability of the 3DS, players can exchange their guild card that contains all of their hunter’s information with other players via StreetPass.

Players can experience the world of Monster Hunter alone or in four player local play using the Nintendo 3DS. Finding nearby hunters to adventure on quests with is now even easier via the local Nintendo 3DS search feature. Wii U players will be able to enjoy the hunt with Nintendo 3DS players via a local wireless connection. Gamers that own both a Wii U and Nintendo 3DS can take advantage of the inter compatibility of save data between the two consoles, taking the hunt from the living room to wherever they go.

I'm debating whether or not I'll double dip and grap this for both the Wii U *AND* the 3DS...

Triple dip, really, if you consider I own the original Wii version.

WTF, Nintendo copying Sony yet again with this cross play!? Sony should sue


Frankly, I think the whole cross play thing is a bad idea. One might just cannabilize the other. (The PS3 cannibalizing the Vita, for example)

Nintendo did Crossplay before it was cool. Remember GBA <--> GC. No, my sarcasm detector is not broken, just sayin'

 

Also, Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate is Monster Hunter 3G HD in Japan and a release game alongside the amazing NSMBU? Japan is pretty much secured now for Nintendo. There will be no war.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

How different is 3G from Tri though?

The G versions are the same game but add new monsters, items, armor, maps, etc. I believe.  It's like an extended ultimate edition.

In this case the difference is actually fairly large.  Tri was missing quite a few monsters and weapons classes that were present in previous games.  Although I got into the series with Tri, I can see why a lot of earlier fans griped about Tri missing a lot of content.

In addition to the G-rank difficulty level, new boss monsters, and G-rank equipment which is normal for G versions, 3G also adds back the hunting horn, bow, dual swords, gunlance weapons that Tri cut out, as well as the return of some classic monsters like Plesioth.  This should add a significant amount of new depth to the gameplay compared to Tri.

One regression is I believe the bowgun mechanics have been simplified from Tri and it is now more similar to previous games.  In Tri, you could separately choose three components of the bowgun rather than buying it as a single unit.

It was on the launch line up trailer for the European version of the Nintendo Direct. There was also a fat Mario.

I thought you were kidding too... this really qualifies as an OMG news!

EDIT: It's only costumes: Zelda, Link, Mario, Luigi and Bowser... they look cool, but are not new characters

Wrong. Apple will have done it first once they get around to doing it in the future.
