Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Wasn't really interested in this game since I played the crap out of Tri. However, I might have to get after seeing the large monster count go up by 32.

Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter, Mario, Bayonetta ... all exclusive for Wii U.

It's funny that the Wii U already won next gen in japan while the competitors are not even out yet.

Cmon, bayonetta won't do a thing there.

But Dragon Quest + Monster Hunter could be dangerous... not yet, since both games are ports*. But if worked well, they could destroy.

 

*very important ports, though since they'll kickstart Wii U in the most difficult time.

Monster Hunter Tri
# Small Monsters: 17
# Large Monsters: 18
# Total Monsters: 35

Monster Hunter Tri G
# Small Monsters: 22
# Large Monsters: 50
# Total Monsters: 72
wow, looks like a lot... can the new version upgrades the game by the same amount?

Holy fuck.  That's a HUGE difference.

Oh man, March is gonna be so epic.

It sure will. Reggie announcing Monster Hunter... I could never imagine that.

But it was a smart decision to give the game some spotlight. He won the internet. The game is not very famous in real life, but in the internet it's huge!


@bold

That is a huge difference! That is what we can expect for this Wii U game? What about the new Monhun coming to the 3DS?

There's no new game for the 3DS. Ultimate is just 3G with a new name.

It'll be just like the Wii U version, minus online play and HD graphics - well, maybe they'll do something similar to what they did on the PSP, using the PS3 to play the portable game online, I don't know.

Wait wait wait. What happened to Monster hunter 4. Where is that going? Is there one?

I think he was just trying to say that MH3G Ultimate isn't a new game on 3DS.

I have mixed feelings about this. I'm happy they're releasing this because I had so much fun with Tri, but at the same time I'm a little annoyed because it feels like I got ripped off a bit and bought a prototype of sorts after they made 3G and now this. I'll probably still get the game but am I wrong in thinking this or does anyone feel the same way?

The original sold 0.3 million in Japan. It was one of the top 30 360 games. It sold proportionately worse on the PS3, but the PS3 port was derided. I imagine that bringing the franchise to a native and popular console could raise the sequel's sales to half a million. Especially considering how Devil May Cry and Warriors games are popular over there.

I'm not saying that Bayonetta is in the same range as Monster Hunter in Japan. But I think that under Nintendo's watch, it can go places.



My friend is a Vtuber, check him out.

3DS too thank God. No need to worry about MH4 then.

With crossplay you still need to buy both versions to play both? Or just one?

 

Dunno if anyone else posted it but..

I'm sure on the nintendo chanel capcom's announcement of Monster hunter 3 ultimate,
the Wii U version will cross play with MH4 on 3DS

And then all Nintendo needs is MGS and FF.
