Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U
9.38/10 from 18 user ratings

Welcome to the official discussion thread for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U!

To start, please add this game to your log, add it to your collection (if applicable), and (when you are ready) rate it using the link above!
And here we are.


THE WORLD AS YOU KNEW IT CHANGED ON MARCH 19TH

Game IS NOT Region Locked: NA + SA CAN PLAY with Europe + Australia + Africa(?)

Sorry,
Asia!


*THE DEMO IS A DEMON, JUST GET THE GAME!!*




Welcome to the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate thread! This will be our headquarters for coordinating our Hunts, sharing stories of war, and helpful hints for our brothers-in-arms, compatriots, friends, and neighbors. Please be mindful of folks' different definitions of "spoilers," and remember that not EVERYBODY played Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii, though everybody totally should've.


The "burden" of running this thread has been placed upon me but...I can't do it alone. I will lean on Maxi and others to help with the heavy lifting occasionally, both in planning things and also in feeding this thread. Please keep it bumped (once we get going). If you could, let us know if you're getting this game, WHEN you're getting this game, and what your aspirations are so we can get us situated in groups with likeminded people. Do you want to barely play this game? Is this going to be your new #1? The most fun with this game is had when you get to go out with a group of guys week in week out, so if we can find someone with a schedule similar to yours, you'll have the most fun with it.

Why not sign up for a (free) account?
   
 
One week!

I am excite. Gonna trade in COD Blops2 and Paper Mario Sticker Star for a $60 GC then turn that into an eShop card, to put towards this.

@TheOldManFromZelda
If you pre-order from Amazon, you can get 1st day delivery for a buck extra. At least, you USED to be able to.
03/13/13, 02:10   
@Anand

Hmm... I will investigate tomorrow....
03/13/13, 03:19   
@Anand I think the cheap release-day delivery is now available only to Prime members, if it still exists.
03/13/13, 03:29   
@Mop it up

They do have release day delivery, but not for a buck. There is an Amazon Prime option, but I'm not too interested in that.

However, when looking at the total cost/savings, I would still end up saving MAYBE 5-10 bucks by getting release day shipping anyways.

I'm so torn on what to do!!!!
03/13/13, 12:25   
Ohhhh yes!! One week away from this game! Cannot wait.

Do we have a set plan on "what is going on" yet?

Are we meeting up on Tuesday night? Thursday night? FRIDAY NIGHT?


If I was the..Dungeon Master of this entire thing (which I'm not..), I'd say "play Single Player on Tuesday and Wednesday, and we can shack up on Thursday / Friday for some awesome online poop." No good? Is someone itching to get out there Day 1?

The problem with Day 1: you don't have enough supplies or money really, so you spend a ton of time getting Honey and whatnot. With the single player crap in there first (maybe up through the first big guy), you should have a gauge on some new weapons and armor, too. Thoughts? Lets hear 'em!
03/13/13, 22:56   
Does anybody know how this game uses the Wii U pad?

I mean to say if this game uses the Gamepad to stack and select items without having to fumble with the items menu like in past games. It seems so obvious that I will shake my head if it is not included. By the way, Deviljho mode hasn't been confirmed yet, wtf? Maybe they're saving it for MH 4 Ultimate...

They could also clear some of that cluttered HUD by placing things on the bottom. Burn in is a bitch.

@Tranquilo

Your bag is basically on the Pad. It has all of your shortcut stuff, nothing clogs up the screen. I'm pretty sure our Hunter's Manual will be there, too. There is also a new Targeting thing which faces you towards the monster. I think the Map might be down there, too.
03/14/13, 00:25   
Here is my suggestion for meeting up. Since starting the game you do need to have some supplies before you go online I believe whoever is getting it Day 1 can play the first 2 days as much as they can offline and then on Thursday or even better yet since the online is all connected for all the servers we can all meetup on Monday the 25th for some online play for those that do get it first day in their regions so each region will at least have 2 days to play offline to get used to the game. US will have 6 days of offline play to start but I think that will help everyone with knowledge as we play more with each other and help each other out.

For online play nights maybe 2 nights. Friday and Thursdays work for me once I get the game if everyone is okay with that. Maybe the first week everyone can play as much as they want online together.

@NinTemple_Maxi
That's a good suggestion. We should give people (me!) two or three days to get the game, at least.
03/15/13, 21:10   
@NinTemple_Maxi

Wait.. I thought it was months before you were going to get it?
03/16/13, 23:42   
I might buy this for Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate. Then again there is nothing else in the horizon for the Wii U... I might wait until Pikmin 3 comes out.
03/17/13, 00:38   
I missed out on this when it released on the Wii, and knowing how much people loved it, it made me curious to find out just how good of a game it was, so I want to pick this up, but being so busy with school I'll probably end up missing out on it yet again.
03/17/13, 08:29   
I'm going to get the Wii U disc first and hold out for a week on the 3DS version. We are leaving on our honeymoon to the Dominican Republic on the 29th of March, so I hope to have the 3DS one by then. I will use that week to strengthen my character the best I can using the single player mode. Of course, when I'm not floating in a pool sipping on beverages.

@TheOldManFromZelda
Cool, have a great time man! I have a honeymoon planned for Jamaica in mid-June. I don't think I'll bring my 3DS with me... I can go a week without it.. I think!

Don't worry about missing out... we'll be playing for a long time. This game has legs. Probably until MH4 comes out, and even then, that might be a 3DS exclusive!

It is months till I get it but that doesn't mean I can't offer suggestions correct for those that can get it Day 1 correct? Just trying to organize the thread a little bit.:)

Saturday is the best day for me, but I am usually free 1 or 2 nights a week, it just varies; one week it's monday & wednesday and the next it's tuesday & thursday. Almost never on friday . Because my schedule(s) suck.

Are we waiting until the cross-region patch goes live before we get situated into regular(-ish) groups...?

Also: TWO DAYS
