Ah...creating a shemale that goes around hunting monsters, sleeping and flirting with online males. Such an amazing game MH3 was, and such an amazing game this will be. I don't own a WiiU, so probably 3DS (which I don't own either, but I will for Fire Emblem and PLVSPW)

Wii U version for online connectivity. I'll be warming up next thursday cause it's been like a year since thevlast time i played Tri on Wii.

So I can play with random people online correct?

On the Wii U version yes

i think friend only, this sucks cuz it might be region lock unfortunately!

No, you can play with random people just like the wii version

Yes, you can definitely play with random people which is basically what you'll be doing most of the game.  Sadly, it is once again region locked but you'll have no problem finding people to play with since MH has a very hardcore online community.

*As an option, voices in game (voice chat sound) can be set to come from the Wii U GamePad or the TV.

USB supported Keyboards will be usable!
If you connect a USB supported Keyboard it can be used for chat input.

Change the camera angle via the ZL/ZR buttons!
It will be possible to change the camera angle using the Wii U GamePad’s ZL and ZR buttons. This update is to match the control feeling of the Nintendo 3DS/LL Expansion Slide Pad.
