You want screen SHOTS!!! YOuCAnTHandLeTheScReENSHOTs!!

First topic message reminder :

These were released late yesterday of the 3DS version of the Western release of Monster Hunter Ultimate:

(They stated WiiU screens will be coming soon)








































Now.... I do want to post a comparison...


This is the side by side comparision of the Japanese and the US versions of MH3G and MHU:

Spoiler:

Random,

Just out of curiosity have you done any research before posting your comment/question as it appears you know little information about console prices or the WiiU its self or Monster Hunter Ultimate for the WiiU.

First: console price should be based on the console and game prices should be based on the game. Two seperate things entirely.

2nd: do you realize how much the ps3 and 360 along with its games costed when they were released? The WiiU is almost half the price of the PS3 as well as the WiiU games costing between $59-$69. The 360 was almost a hundred dollars more.

3rd: there is a lot that goes into pricing a console. Not just its technology what games it will have and what it can do. Availability of resources, distributes, and many more things.

4th: just as the Wii brought many new things to game so does the WiiU, a lot of things that that have not been done with home consoles before a lot of interactivity.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_U#_

The wiki offers a little information on the WiiU but that is just a small portion of information on it but may help you out.

5th: the next playstation and Xbox. Most companies wait to see what their competitors are doing before they do something to try and "one" up them. The question is will they be able to catch up if the other people get a far enough head start. Also... Going back to price... Of they try to one up their competitors too much they they may hurt themselves. If Sony decides to make the next PS at the same release price as the PS3 with the WiiU and possiblelu the next Xbox being sold much cheaper it could be very bad for them.... I submit to you the Vita as an example.

And finally

6th: Monster Hunter Ultimate. I am not going to talk too much about this as, well this whole forum offers information on it and all that it will offer as well as videos, pictures and so forth.

I really do suggest researching information and learning a little but more about it. Even check what I posted. Don't take my word for it.

WiiU has plenty of pluses to buying it:

The Gamepad itself is something that's never been done before and allows you to play your console as if it was a handheld, and you don't even need to have your TV on. Network capabilities like the miiverse are new (for Nintendo at least) making online experience not only on par but better than psn and xbl. Quite a few launch games, supposedly the most in Nintendo history. And of course, the factor that makes it a must have, MHU.

Personally I don't believe the £250/$300 price tag is too unreasonable because didn't the original wii sell for that much? Plus the Gamepad is likely taking a up a fair chunk of that price, so...

I've heard lots of people complaining about the price, but I really don't see what the big deal is. In fact I thought it was going to cost a lot more. :P

edit: dang dc, posting same time as me and making my post look feeble in comparison.

and in addition to what Dcj & annon already posted,
Sometimes the games themselves just effect how well a console does. Like Nintendo with Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon, ect.
It doesnt matter what they price their consoles at, fanbases for Iconic titles will get people to buy the console regardless Every console has those Famed-titles. And when one series, Like MH out of the list of several, joins or completely swaps to one console company, that fanbase will join them without a second thought.

Wow, I love the side-by-side comparison. Before, the jaggies (jagged polygonal edges) in the Japanese version were very noticeable. Now.... wow, this game is looking better than the Wii version of Tri, imo, which is amazing for a handheld. Great lighting effects, too! I love how light reflects off of weapons and shadows are cast.

Can't wait for March. I am going to get the Wii U version and it's gonna be so boss playing online with all of you!

EDIT: Official forum had other images!




ALSO OFFICIAL NAMES!

Doboruberuku = Duramboros
Doboruberuku Subspecies = Rusty Duramboros
Jinouga = Zinogre
Jinouga Subspecies = Stygian Zinogre

Well those images have noticeable jaggis, But that's because they are enlarged XD.
And aninymoose, I'd totally play online with ya :>

Once I get a Bow Set I'm happy with, I'm definitely up to hunting online with y'all

x.x with every post of a bow screenshot...

I get more & more psyched...

Ok then i admit i kinda dont understand everything about technology but atleast i tried haha.

But i have a legitimate question now...do you think a consoles pricetag is justified by the games its going to have? because im rather curiouse....i personnaly dont care for graphics in a game i mean i played tons of 8bit games for days but...

Do you think you should pay for the hardware costs of a console and the power it is able to put out or do you think its all down to the games being sold should be the value of the console?

I think you should pay the price of the power it can put out, mainly because of the fact more power means more future proof of a console for better games which means longer lifespan of the console and more value for money. i love MH:tri and im sad to see it go but £250 pricetag on a WiiU is overkill to say it does not bring anything new to the table that other consoles have already done.

Once micro/sony release the next console...it will blow WiiU out of the water for sure.

I think if a console has a controller that costs 200 dollars to make, it should be reasonable to pay for a full package for 300.

And micro/sony may release another console, but all systems will have good games. Maybe one will be uber graphics oriented, but it doesnt matter because i could just connect my TV screen to my computer and get 3x better graphics than anything a console can achieve. I don't see why people care so much about console graphics, PC will always be a step ahead, so caring about it is redundant.

dc im a 21 year old man. I always try google my question first and get info before posting.

1) Also about your post. Did you mean the first 2-3 posts i did was innacurate? Because in my last post i did mention i was more than likely wrong about some things. If it was also aimed at my last post i can surely say it was a question so there cannot be a wrong question? If im asking a question that would mean i dont know something...

2) PS3 was insane overpriced at launch anyone with eyes could see that..why compare PS3 overprice to a WiiU system?

3) Vort if your post was aimed at me about graphics you might have skipped the part about me not caring about them, i love gameplay not graphics.

well, he did talk about the 360 too, to be fair...

So underwater combat is back in, judging by those screens?

Yep, it's back.

And Plesioth too.

Looks great even if the graphics are not all that "great" how many of us have played monster hubter for it's graphics?

Me personally I haven't monster hunter makes great use of technology it uses. I love playing mobster hunter for what is is a game I fight large monsters with big swords with a close knit group of friends the scenerie is just an added bonus for me and I find it breath takibg all the time.

Monster Hunter is not a screen shot game.

Monster Hunter's graphical euphoria comes from it's amazing animations, not still images.

While us fans aren't so focused on the graphics itself, The newbies to the series are who'll be noticing it at 1st glance.

Like Dc said, the 3DS is moreso marketed towards adults. Adults who have standards for game and are more concerned with other aspects of a game rather than if it gets the kids to shaddup' during the car ride to grandmas.

This' more self-evident seeing the Nintendo franchises are view more towards kids compared to sony/micro's "Intense" titles and hardware.

So the graphics, while not the most important feature, do play a pretty good role in a day & age where we are expecting more from the ever-evolving techology.

once again I really hope if they make it in a "city" style like MH3, that they make more people per city. It would really expand the game if you could have more than 4 friends chilling with you in a city, because you could form teams of 4 and compete to see who can beat a mission fastest, or you could say "i wanna do rathalos" and anyone out of the 16 people can join and do rathalos if they need, rather than forcing 3 people to join up.

Yeah, not 3 people with that one guy/gal who wants to something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

It happened like this:

other 3 forum members:

FM1 "Why does dcj keep singing into the mic?"

FM2 "I don't know but I'm really getting tired of him always picking the Gigglenox quests'."

FM3 "Yea, we haven't even gotten to hunt any of the new monsters yet... and your starting to call Giganox, Gigglenox like him.."

FM2 "No I'm not."

FM1 "Yea, we both heard you."

dcj91x "Don't you all think that it's kind of strange that dcj quit singing already?"

FM3 "Don't worry he'll probably just start back up again in a second and not even hear us..."

FM1 "Yea, when he does let's log out of the city and see if he realizes."

dcj91x "Sounds like a plan."

dcj91x starts singing again...

FM2 hunts Gigglenox alone after everyone loggs out.

*repeat steps 1-3*
they'll leave on their own, whether it's after I've done a few runs with whatever randomies I'm hunting with or just after I lock the quest.

Win-win: Trollbert leaves, & I get done what I need done.

So, nothing for Wii U has popped up yet?
My body can't be prepared forever......

more about the wiiU...i heard from rumor..not 100%! but i hear that you can turn off the tv and the game still plays on the controll pad screen? sounds pretty nice if true.
