Huh? First of all, this game didn't get released on the PSP AT ALL. Tri is exclusive to Nintendo consoles.
PSP got more than just "ultimate editions" of Monster Hunter games, it got full on sequels. THAT is what saved the PSP.

So, MH3U includes the complete content of these "sequels", but still is a port while these "sequels" aren't. Good job VGKing, now my head is exploding.

What are you talking about? This Wii U game is basically a port of the Wii game. It just has additional content. It's not related to any of the PSP games.

By PSP games I'm talking the Monster Hunter Freedom 1, 2 and 3 as they're called in America. I haven't played them but as far as I know these are full on sequels.

Monster Hunter Tri was originally a Wii exclusive. Then it got ported to the 3DS, and now its coming to Wii U. It's a port. End of Story. If this was a completely new game, they could call something else.

You must be new to Capcom publishing their big brand games and the answer is 3.

MH3U or MH3G in Japan, for the Wii U is a updated port of the 3DS game that was released in either late 2011 or early 2012 with HD graphics and online capabilites that weren't in the original 3DS game. The dual release of the Wii U and 3DS versions in Western territories means gamers can get the choice between which one they want. It has new content beyond the original Monster Hunter 3 on the Wii including new monsters as others have said.

As far as I know the only thing Portable 3rd on PSP didn't have was under water hunting, the really shitty part is they never released it outside of Japan. 3DS will have a full sequel this time with 4 and looking at total Vita sales compared to 3DS right now, I don't really blame Capcom. =/

MH Portable 3rd. And look at the OP if you want to know which PSP-games MH3U got content from.

Phantasy Star Online >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Monster Hunter > Ragnarok Odyssey.

*edit*

Another comparison to Monster Hunter would be Dragon's Dogma, since boss monsters are a huge focus in both games, yet they're better in Dragon's Dogma and there's far more to offer in the game than just amazing bosses.

Dragon's Dogma >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Monsters Hunter.

Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen comes out on April 23th.  Includes the original game, all DLC, new classes, new dungeon, new monsters and bosses, more equipment.  $40 MSRP.

If I didn't care for Monster Hunter 3 Tri whatever on Wii

And nothing I saw in the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Wii U demo interested me

Why then should I care if it has more content or less content... the gameplay is tedious and boring.

I think the concept is good, but the freaking combat system and animations are so retarded and stiff. The camera system is horrible, the visual and audio cues and feedback system in generally is very minimalistic.

Mostly though the combat is just pointless.. you stand in a spot and flail around pointlessly and maybe your attack connected with this creature that happens to be moving about and never actually defeating you.

If you get knock down then there is this super static stale animation... then you get back up and then do the super lame attacking animation which does nothing. If creature gets hit there is some lame graphical feedback but no real response from creature.

Game is just not for me... it's too PSOne / N64 in how freaking stiff the game animations and poor the game controls are.

I don't see how this is relevant. We're not discussing which game is better or the Vita sales.

mmmm, arguable the game is very realistic. Bigger weapons, slower your movements. You have control over the camera, so what is the problem with it again?, the monster react to you, to your parnetrs cha cha and kayama if you didn't notice. he wasn't moving like it was doing anything. you expect to be hit but thrown away? this game is more realistic than other games that you feel is not right i thought the same thing until i get how the game works.
