Pre-orders MHU

Subject: Pre-orders MHU Tue Sep 25, 2012 11:53 pm

First topic message reminder :

So today I went to my local GameStop and they informed me that as of today MHU for the WiiU was now available for preorder at gamestops in the US. Unfortunately the 3DS version was not yet in the system.

I haven't heard of it being available anywhere else yet but I figured "why not start a thread so people can post where it's available for pre-order and what bonuses might be available" (no bonuses have been announced by the way)

Any ways :

#1: MHU WiiU GameStop US

GameStop seems to now have a full release date for MH3U WiiU listed as 03/31/2012 for the game....

And there is suppose to be a Nintendo Direct EU today which may also offer more information.. so if it does we may see more places start offering pre-orders soon.

Capcom has now announced a pre-order bonus for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the WiiU.

Here's an article:

And here's the official Capcom site:

...that's it? just a remote. Capcom finally manages to boom it's western fanbase with 2 new releases & all you get is a remote you probably still have from LAST PRE-ORDER BONUS. that's a pretty lackluster bonus.

comon, I got a friggin poster, a few pokeball stylus' & a discounted strategy guide for ordering B/W 2 ( plus they had the genesect promo going on ).

As of today Gamestop now has MH3U for the 3DS available for preorder in the US. TRU, Target, walmart and other places now all have both available as well. So if you have not yet now may be the best time to go and preorder both copies of the game!

Wii Classic Controller Pro? Why not Wii U Controller Pro?

*still plans to preorder anyways*

Subject: Re: Pre-orders MHU Wed Jan 30, 2013 11:51 pm

The Wii CCP is from Capcom not gamestop or anywhere else and most likely extras from MHTri.

Though you can order the MH3U 3DS/XL cases from Capcom. Not a game preorder bonus but its something special.

Sorry DCJ but you are incorrect on the first statement.

i think he meant as a preorder bonus.

Subject: Re: Pre-orders MHU Thu Jan 31, 2013 9:51 am

You are correct Tirith, Capcom USA are the ones offering the ccp as a preorder bonus for MH3U if you order the WiiU version of the game through their online store not Gamestop or anyone else...

I hope that make it more clear for everyone.

Other than that there are no preorder bonuses announced for MH3U.

Seregios Thank you Points : 60

In my opinion, that pre-order bonus is a big pile of dung.

You can always just buy those controllers anywhere with a good price, and there's also that new Wii U controller pro that is compatible with the game and that thing has an 80 hour battery life.

NOW THAT should have been a pre-order bonus, not the CCP... -.-"

^ as I said earlier. Im pretty sure they are extras from Tri they are trying to get rid of but think of it this way, Capcom US didn't have to add anything and they are doing a lot when it comes to MH3U here in the west. If it was up to Capcom Japan alone.... Well it's likely we wouldn't get the game at all. So I'm thinkful that CapUS is adding what they can and Nintendo was able to get MH3U localized in the first place.

Thats kinda insulting to a degree. I wouldnt sell my fans a new game with an add-on that was last gens model just because I could. Thats just pawning off their losses.

Subject: Re: Pre-orders MHU Thu Jan 31, 2013 4:29 pm

Erm... I thought the pre order bonus was the demo of the game for mh3

You got both of them XD

It was an issue with the demo though, iirc Gamestop only let the demo out to people who preordered the game, but then some people got upset and they let the demo out for everyone.

Subject: Re: Pre-orders MHU Thu Jan 31, 2013 4:53 pm

wow, 80 hour battery life and 4 hour recharge time... it might as well be unlimited... i can't stay awake 80 hours straight and would definitely have to sleep more than 4 hours during any 80 hour period.

Subject: Re: Pre-orders MHU Thu Jan 31, 2013 5:50 pm

Lol that is really crazy 80 hours x.x Lol No more having to worry about having my controller die mid hunt. 4 hours isn't bad for the amount of battery life it has. I can live with not hunting four hours knowing I will have a few days out of it.

Insulting???!!! It was that or nothing... Capcom Japan didn't even seem to want to give us the game, Capcom US is doing everything they can to give us anything extra available... So how is that insulting? especially when it's still usable and still worth $20.00 for something you were planning on getting anyways?... Don't think they are allowed to spend extra $$$ to add preorders for the west because they arent. Everything Capcom US has added so far, the controller and getting the 3DS cases made and possible working out a deal with gamestop to lower the price if you buy both versions of the games together are all things they have faught for... Just fyi if you didn't know..

Subject: Re: Pre-orders MHU Thu Jan 31, 2013 10:50 pm

^ mabey its just me, My "psyence of otology" way of thinking,

But Im usually the type that would promote waiting longer for something to be well done than being given the quick-fix rendition. If capcom hadnt given a bonus but instead was using the resources to plan something for the future id be all for that. im patient enough to go " ok, ive been waiting .... long what's ..... gonna hurt now?" but being given the secondhand model that already came out with tri. but mabey this is just because Im not a total MHNerd and am not ovelrjoyed about the hoopla as everyone else is XD

Subject: Re: Pre-orders MHU Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:37 pm

Oto, I think you are missunderstand or I may be.

Would you rather have "NOTHING" at all? Because that was the other choice.

You must realize that mh3u is coming to the west because Nintendo pushed for it and is paying for it to brought to the west... Not Capcom.

Capcom Japan is not promoting anything and not "technically" letting Capcom US do anything for it. Most of what they are doing is on their own without Capcom Japan's backing of all the MH merchandise they get in Japan.

So IMO for capcom US to add anything is pretty nice since they are doing it on their own pretty much and the alternative is to have no extras at all and without Nintendo the alternative is to have no western MH game at all. So forgive me if I am not as negative as others seem.

DCJ im not even getting 3U, so your asking the wrong person that question...

Subject: Re: Pre-orders MHU Fri Feb 01, 2013 12:14 am

So Oto than.... Why would it even mater to you at all what they did or did not add? Seems like your just wanting to complain honestly about something you apparently aren't getting???.... Some people make no sense to me at all....

Subject: Re: Pre-orders MHU Fri Feb 01, 2013 12:19 am
