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.

@Cryojin

Oh, yous hould totally come on now then...
04/10/13, 07:54   
Would love to, but I gotta get up in a little over 3 hours. Soon as the mild nausea finally subsides, I need to get my arse back to bed.
04/10/13, 08:00   
@Cryojin

Yeah, the Queen Blaster is great, especially for poisoning.

Though for now I've shifted to the Arko Nulo (Y)
04/10/13, 08:27   
All you bastards are like, HR 2 and 3, and I can barely get an online game in at all.

Bastards.

I guess I'll stick to the single player campaign.
04/10/13, 13:28   
@TheOldManFromZelda
Same here. I haven't been able to get in one yet, although the fact that I'm on an early schedule and usually in bed by the time you guys start playing doesn't help.

The update for Wii U is coming April 16. That's confirmation of the European patch, but I would assume it will hit the US at the same time (since the patch contains cross-region play).
04/10/13, 20:12   
@ludist210
According to what I saw on GoNintendo, it's hitting the US on the evening of the 15th. 2AM in some European time zone and 5PM Pacific here, which might actually be the exact same time.

Edited: 04/10/13, 20:37
So, it means I'll be able to play with some of you, guys :) ?
04/10/13, 20:41   
Yes. Can't wait for off-TV play.

@DeputyVanHalen

No way, you guys will get on soon and it will be GLORIOUS. What are you turds doing Sunday?
Also, I'm aroundish during the day tomorrow, too.

Get some sweet scheds out and we can totally hunt with youuu!
04/10/13, 20:59   
@kgtennispro I was considering the Arko Nulo (the ice damage version). Just need a few more mats.

@DeputyVanHalen I'm currently on an early morning schedule, and am home around 4:30-5 pm EST. Let me know if you'd like to plan an outing, and we can go wreck some stuffs.

@Mr_Mustache
Three people that is. Seeing about getting some of my other team members in there (and signed up on here, especially for Epic Centre runs, although they aren't really into the whole "internet forum" thing as much)
04/11/13, 05:20   
@Cryojin

Am I the only one who gets "all the branches" of weapons? Why pick and choose, you can have 'em allll!

@Dark Weres

Eh. This place is friendlier than normal forums. And, if they want, just have 'em stick to waters they're comfortable with. Jew Drop signed up ONLY for Secret of Mana, and I'm not sure he's been outside of it. Likewise, I don't believe d'Artagnan has posted anywhere else either.


EDIT- Just about to hit Hour 100. What in the world...

Edited: 04/11/13, 08:46
I finally got to HR 2 last night thanks to a couple rooms I was in, and just plugging away. I can't wait to punch a Nibblesnarf in the face.
04/11/13, 13:21   
For some reason I thought the Wroggi would be a frog-like monster. Wroggi...froggie. It makes sense, I tells ya!
04/11/13, 18:00   
@TheOldManFromZelda

Oh youuuuuu.

@anon_mastermind

Yeah, the etymology doesn't really make sense there. Well..he kinda has a dewlap like a Frog does? Hmm.
04/11/13, 21:15   
@Mr_Mustache I'll work on multiple weapons eventually, but that'll of course require a lot of monster parts. I just want to build up the set that interests me the most, first.
04/11/13, 23:52   
@Cryojin

No no no (or maybe you understand what I'm saying), I mean like, "get all the Lances" or something. Usually only ONE Lance (or whatever) will use Jaggi parts, and another will use Baggi parts, so you're not really missing out on anything. Does that make sense?

I pretty much have every branch.

--Did you look at the DLC yet? Jhen Moran arrives next week...
04/12/13, 07:10   
@Mr_Mustache

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I'M ON A BOAT.

But I understand what you're saying. I'm currently doing that for the double blades. You are correct, each different type of double blade uses different animal parts, but essentially the same minerals. It's nice to have the different status effects to appropriately use.

Side Note: Nibblesnarf was very difficult, especially for the first time fighting against it. Plus, the guy that joined me on the quest was ill equipped, so all of his attacks kept bouncing off of him. He quit and left me alone to finish. I got a good handle on him by the end.

@TheOldManFromZelda

With the other game, I starting crating Great Swords just to see how they went. I have no idea how the Dual Blades work with that stuff, or what they need. I guess..you WOULD be deficient in some materials after playing for not nearly as long as I have, but I could probably make a solid run RIGHT NOW with the Dual Blade tree, and only have to pause for some nutty materials, like Rubies or whatever.

Wow, what a jerk. Play with US, Lou, play with MEEEE. Are you able to tonight at all? My Sunday is WIDE OPEN, CHRISTMAS TURKEY STYLE. And I'm off today. Today.
