Haha that was great. Still a bummer that the 3DS version doesn't have online, but I would prefer the Wii U version anyway. Also, BOOMSHAKALAKA

And what race are they making fun of, exactly? They look like living marionettes. Is this racism against Muppets?

It's a stretch, but i think that he just assumes that anything that has tribal characteristics is automatically racist against Africans.

Tokyo Jungle is racist because they replaced all the people with animals, thus they think Japanese people are animals.
Please, jesus christ guys, at least post a youtube link below the video. Springboard simply doesn't load for me and many, many people. You can use it, fine. At least give us the chance to watch it directly on YT, your just use Sb to embed it anyway.
I thought they were supposed to be like little tribal people. One of them said "big heap" I think, which rarely has good connotations.
Anyway, having played Tri (a LOT), I've noticed some things in the screens that were posted here. Namely, it looks like a lot of the UI elements are able to accommodate more characters thanks to a skinnier font. Sadly, it looks like that isn't the case in the text chat. And if the voice chat is as busted as it was in Tri, then text chat would again be the de facto way to communicate online. Sometimes I had to enter 3 different lines just to get one sentence's worth due to the chunky characters (clearly designed for Japanese).
Also haven't seen any screens of the online user interface. Here's hoping they've improved that cause it was downright embarrassing in Tri.

Is it confirmed that MH3: Ultimate will run in native 1080p ?
Looking at Portable 3rd HD wich only runs in 720p natively.....
the Wii U is clearly just on par with current gen !!!
Will get this, but I´m not sure if I will pick up both versions...

A bunch of clearly dark skinned marionettes wearing skulls and shells while essentially saying "OOGA BOOGA BOOGA" isn't racist? Maybe it's not mean-spirited but that doesn't mean the game isn't contributing to a stereotype.

I was hoping the WiiU version would make better use of the console's power, but I guess not. It still looks good though.
I'm surprised know one makes a deal of the fact that the wiiu is the first console to have voicechat built in. This means theoretically everyone can use voice chat.
@jonothanster
The only thing contributing to the "stereotype" are the people who keep saying its a stereotype. I hadnt even considered any African reference until I read your comment, if anything I was reminded more of Patapon games.

I know there's 50% more content, but I'm just not sold on either the 3DS version (no online, really?) or the Wii U version. I loved the Wii version to death and sunk about 100 hours into it, but I don't want to buy the same game twice, even with the extra content.
It's an HD upscale of the 3DS version of the game. There is only so much you can do short of remaking the entire game.
Man, I'm excited for this. I've never owned a single Monster Hunter game, but I want to make this one my first on the Wii U.
Everything is racist now, even Destructoid, he's a negative stereotype of dongbots
geez
Game looks simply too great, I'm going for the 3DS version but damn this is tempting, may grab it with a Wii U

No online for the 3DS version? Really? That is incredibly stupid... There is no way in hell I am buying a Wii-U; a 3DS, on the other hand, I am probably going to be getting soon. However, I keep running into things like this that bother me and kill hype...
I will still probably buy it; but I am far less excited...

Ain't it funny how everyone becomes willing to suck Capcom's cock in spite of all the bullshit it's pulled when they show off a Monster Hubter title?
Was expecting an upscaled 3DS version on the WiiU, but I wasn't expecting it to look so good! Some of the textures sure look low res, but others look really high! Overall, better than I expected. Will be buying both, thanks.
@Deaddays
the 3ds one looks great in its own right, actually. Especially since it has dynamic lighting and maintains consistent frame rate even in 3d.
Can't wait to play this in English with my bro. ^o^

The lack of online play for the 3DS version of MH3U definitely sucks and essentially cripples the game due to it being centered around multiplayer. However, we're lucky to be getting the game at all. The monster hunter franchise has a total of 18 games , but only 7 have been localized for overseas release. This includes all spin-off titles as well as the upcoming release of MH3U aka MH Tri G. Obviously, Capcom has chosen to focus its development time on implementing online play into MH4 and the Wii U version of MH3 U (both titles coming out within 3 months of each other) and the latter serving as a launch window title for Wii U.
Anyway, I'm very excited about getting MH3U for Wii U despite having spent so much time playing MH Tri, but all that new content will be worthwhile.

I get what you are saying, I really do. However, I understand people not buying because of the missing online. People can't be expected to support products simply because that support will lead to additional releases; I am not investing in a future game when I buy a new release. If you don't have friend that have a 3DS, and I don't have a single one that lives close to me, then Monster Hunter isn't even close to as fun. Played alone, Monster Hunter is half as enjoyable as it is when played with friends.

For all of the people complaining, please tell me more about the previous PSP MH titles with online play.
That's what I thought.

I only bought MHFU and I rarely played it since the controls were so crampilicious, but man did I really want to get into it. Never played Tri so I'll definitely pick up the WiiU version of MH3U. I'll never pick up the 3ds version since I'm the only person I know irl with a 3ds or even handhelds in general.
@Cass Rack
Maybe because people play games and not companies. Just because you don't like a particular output from a company doesn't mean you can't enjoy its other avenues.

@ Talon & Cass Rack- It's about the games, not the consoles they're played on or who makes them.
Getting so emotionally wrapped up in stuff that doesn't relate to the quality of the games is a waste of your time and energy.

I spent 288 hours on Tri, and i'm planning to waste as many hours of my life on the wiiU version of this mofo AND on MH4.
All hail time-consumming games!

How is that relevant? Those game are OLD; very dated. What is common place now wasn't in previous generations; to draw a comparison between a game that is being released now and a game that was released four years ago is absolutely asinine.
Also, by using the adhoc party feature, all of the Monster Hunter games on the PSP had an online mode.
So basically, your argument was incredibly poorly thought out?
Yeah, that's what I thought.

I love the shit out of Monster Hunter so I can't wait for this. One of the biggest reasons why I need a WiiU. Will fuck the shit out of this game.
Geehhhhhhhh, what is it with companies not wanting to put NORMAL wifi on their handheld games? Seriously, it's been done dozens of times before, even by Capcom with Street Fighter 4. What is it about handhelds titles that makes publishers refuse to make online multiplayer?
@spman2099
I agree with you. Capcom's naturally taking a risk by releasing MH3U for 3DS without online play and it is going to hurt the sales of the game. One can't blame some 3DS owners for refusing to buy it.

@Jonathan Holmes
I think their complaint has more to do with financial investment than emotional investment. It sounds they're both existing Monster Hunter fans, but they have no interest whatsoever in paying $300 for a Wii U just to play it online. And I think that's a fair complaint, although they could have worded it a bit better.
The big problem is that international audiences see the Wii U as "more stupid crap they don't want". Fair or not, that's how it's perceived, and Nintendo has done little to change that perception. If Capcom puts the one thing they want on something they hate and are expected to pay a lot of money for, then they're going to be hated for it. Hell, I'd say unless public perception of the Wii U changes, they're setting themselves up to fail again. I really don't see the logic in this decision at all. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd on PSP and its HD counterpart on PS3 would make infinitely more sense than this.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to buy it, but you can see how this looks to other, more jaded, Monster Hunter fans. It doesn't help that international audiences have been skipped over for the games on non-Nintendo consoles over the past four years.
There's also just the problem of how the Wii U is viewed. Nintendo's press conference at E3 did little to help this sentiment either. I myself felt like Gaijin 4koma in reverse when I heard about the Ultimate announcement. It was like: "Monster Hunter!", "Yeah!". "On Wii U!", "...shit".
I actually wrote an article on this if anyone would care to read it.

Thats total bullshit. Thats also the line between people who care about the industry and those that dont. If you support companies that keep up with terrible business practices, you are 100% supporting said practices, period.

Ugh. Capcom should release MH on Vita, PS3 and Xbox consoles as well. Local multiplayer is an antiquated system.
@BomberJacket
Monster Hunter has succeeded in the West much more on the Wii than on either the PS2 or PSP. Going forward, it looks like Nintendo is throwing a level of support behind the series that Sony didn't seem willing to offer in order to make it a global property. If you want the series to be a success outside of Japan, this will be the best course of action.
@Raby
You remind me of those people who, after 9/11, would say, "Unless you agree with everything the American government says and does, you must be on the terrorists' side." There is no place for such absolutes.
@Shippoyasha
The game IS online. On Wii U.

Fair point, but the first Monster Hunter game on the PS2 was deeply flawed and relied on the system's (at least in my recollection) crap online suite. And PSPs weren't exactly a hit over here. I'm not saying the Wii installment was less successful than Unite and Freedom 2, I'm saying that I believe the franchise could be more successful on other home consoles than it ever was on the Wii.

@BomberJacket that's what people said about No More Heroes, came out in PS3 and flopped
It sold like half a million on Wii

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD came out on PS3 in Japan. It did... alright. Monster Hunter Frontier is on PC and 360 in Japan. I don't know about the PC version, but the 360 version sold pitifully.
Now, you COULD say that it MH3 would sell more on PS3 and 360 out West than on Wii, but there's no proof that would happen. Only "gut feelings," and gut feelings have steered everyone wrong this past generation. We've had examples of games going from Wii to HD platforms, and aside from Tales of Graces, all the games wound up performing WORSE.
