Well, the day has finally come and passed, and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is officially available to hunters across the nation. While you wait for our review, you might be interested in the tangible differences that set this version of Monster Hunter apart from Monster Hunter Tri on the WIi. Luckily, the folks over at Capcom-Unity have you covered. A few days ago a Capcom employee by the name of "Yuri" detailed some of the specifics of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
I'm pretty much an average gamer; my skin is pale, I have a gut you could use as an impromptu bongo, I would not be described as one of the beautiful people. Therefore, I was never offered the chance to appear in the new Live Action trailer for the 4 player co-op Wii U/3DS crossover game Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Witness pretty people play the game, but also get an idea of how the cross platform functionality is going to work.
Hard to believe it, but we're almost to the middle of March. That means that Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is fast approaching - it launches in a week!

The latest entry in the Monster Hunter franchise has a playable demo launching today. The fantasy action series is wildly popular in Japan, yet still seems to be a rather niche title in the States.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will be launching on the the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS in just a few short weeks. You'll have a chance to play it even sooner when the demo drops this Thursday, February 21st. If you're unfamiliar with the Monster Hunter series, I'll offer you this quick crash course: You hunt monsters. Hooray! There's more to it than that, of course, but you basically join with some friends and then battle huge beasts. Once you've claimed victory you can strip their carcasses for raw materials (the monsters, not your friends) which you can then use to craft better armor and gear.
According to a statement by Capcom on their official forums, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for Wii U will be region-locked.
