Are we sure about that? There hasn't been too much info released about it.
So I had a question for you Monster Hunter veterans. I'm thinking about picking this up, as unlike some I found the demo quite intriguing even though the camera controls left much to be desired. I've done some research and watched a few let's plays and have a general feel for the game. However my only issue is if I would be able to enjoy the game in the long-term. From what I could gather, the game is a lot more fun when you have people to play with. I know there is a decent single player campaign but at some point, killing monsters, especially ones you have to kill over and over again to get materials for crafting, can get a bit stale/repetitive soloing. I don't have any friends that are much into gaming, let alone own Nintendo systems. If I do get this game it will have to be the 3DS version. Would I be okay for the most part or should I just hold off for a year or so until I can get a Wii U and the Wii U version?
To be honest, I found playing without the CPP better than with it. But I still play with the CPP since I don't like touching the touchscreen with my fingers.If you get it on 3DS the CPP is pretty well a requirement
The game was actually originally made for 3DS and then ported to the Wii U. The crappy textures of the Wii U version due to being a HD port are more annoying than the blurry font of the 3DS version. Besides, who reads in Monster Hunter? xDthe game was originally designed for the console anyway, so the text isn't blurry like it is on the 3DS.

I don't see why you would want to move the camera and attack, and a lot of weapons like the LS and GS you can change camera between attacks. Using items requires one press of a button which only takes barely a second so it's not like you couldn't move the camera during the flexing anyway. I didn't even need to use the touch screen camera since the target camera is already more than enough to keep an eye on the monster. People will always complaining about controls whether it's the claw or touch screen. hell, some people even complain about dual sticks controls just because you can't attack while moving the camera. I personally am fine with most control schemes, except for the Wiimote + nunchuk. That was crap.But you can't adjust the camera and attack/use items without the CPP. Also trying to move underwater makes a terrible thing the spawn of the devil himself.
Are you sure? I'm pretty sure they've just reused the Wii textures... Which look good enough to me, but I've only got a 27" TV.

And I'm not sure where the 3DS version got it's textures from, but the Wii U version gets everything directly from the 3DS version, not the Wii version. Found this example http://www.capcom-unity.com/jashugan0/go/gallery/item/143171963
Apparently there's a way to fix the smudged text look on the 3DS version? http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/122886-Fix-The-Text-In-Monster-Hunter-3-Ultimate-With-This-Simple-Tip
Oh man, I love 3 Ultimate. I had bought Tri for the Wii when it first came out and I loved it. I finally beat the Alatreon, absolutely loved the game. Found out this was coming out so I bought it for Wii U after trying the demo on my friend's 3DS (didn't feel like downloading it on my own). Unfortunately, I have to work my way back up the Hunter Rank, and it's slow going. I have terrible weapons and armour, so I'm consistently dying despite my relatively large amount of experience with the game (they're basically the same game). However, it's still fun. That's what I love about this series, that no matter how you're doing, it's still fun (except when the Rathalos kills you in Area 8 in D. Island and while you're on your way back your team-mates kill it). That's all for now from me.
If you keep dying then you're having trouble remembering the biggest skill you should have gained from Monster Hunter: Not getting hit.
No, I'm still dodging pretty well, and I can avoid almost everything that's coming at me, however there are a few problems outside of my current control: I don't know the new monsters, so I don't know the tells yet (though I will soon); sometimes I get hit even though I shouldn't, or because my button push didn't register, or just random mistakes or whatever; and those times when I do get hit, my armour is so weak that it deals much more damage than it should, or I can't heal up in time and get hit again right away.
It's kind of jarring how much harder the high rank monsters hit then the low rank ones. Makes me wonder how nasty the G rank ones will be.
You can get Pawprint stamps from Felyne (12% drop), and Melynx (20% drop).I have a question, I'm not sure if any of you saw it yet, but after you repel the Lagiacrus, you unlock a Felyne Gunlance. I really want to get the gunlance because it looks freaking adorable, but i have no idea how to get pawprint stamps, if anybody can help, thanks!
