Not quite the Hero of Time, but with time you never know what he might become

In anticipation of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate's release in March, Capcom Unity has begun posting some details about the game's weapons, starting with the classic Sword and Shield combo.

The full weapon description states how this weapon set is more suited to novices, although skilled players who master it will be able to deliver devastating combos. The shield can also be used offensively to deliver impact hits, which sometimes causes the monster to a enter a dizzy state.

It appears that Capcom is looking to appeal to newcomers as well as experienced Monster Hunter players with its latest instalment. The exclusive Wii U title is an expanded HD version of Monster Hunter Tri for Wii and will also interact wirelessly with a 3DS version of the game.
