Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is Half Price in Europe and North America

People, buy Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate. Need some help starting off, you can find me on Wii U, my username is XCWarrior. I'll be happy to help all the new hunters as best I can if it means more people will play this awesome game. has some of the best online co-op you will find in any game, and easily has 100s of hours of gameplay! Join the hunt!

I already have both because I don't live under a rock

Do you guys playing this with CPP or not? I'd like to have this game but that means buying a CPP.

@Heroboss I've got almost over 100 hours invested in my 3DS copy of MH3U. I don't have or use a CPP. To me, there's absolutely no need for one. The L-targeting works great and the D-Pad on the touch screen is simple to use.

i may have to get this now. haven't tried one of these before but 50% off anything is hard to resist... though i'm getting wind waker tonight too (assuming its midnight release) so, ow my wallet

I think I'm gonna get 50 bucks and buy both of them. One at home, one for on the road! MH3U can switch savefiles between the WiiU and 3DS, right?

@ThomasBW84 I see. thanks.

Man, I would so want to like these games. I'm just not a fan of boss fights and I've understood this game is pretty much about "boss fights". And the 3DS version is only 20€. Man! I have to consider this deeply.

Nice deal! I'll have to try the demo out some more if I get a chance, but I wasn't terribly impressed with it as, well, it's not really the kind of game that I like to play.

I have a US 3DS and a PAL Wii U, so im guessing that the "data transfer" app won't work? I'll still probably buy it on 3DS though at that price..

Would've gifted the game to 2-3 friends if Wii U and 3DS had a gift feature like the Wii.

Hmm, how does 25 pounds equal 30 euro equaling 30 dollars?

Think I'll pick up a disk copy in cex for 32euro instead. If it was 20euro to download then yes I would buy.

come on people, monster hunter 4 is obviously coming west, it would be idiotic not to, so much money,

i do believe i will grab number 3 now though

Nice move Capcom, you can't even buy these games used for that price in the UK right now.

I'm still playing E04 and awaiting Zelda but i don't think i can pass up this offer. The question now is what platform should i buy it :s .

To download both or only Wii U? It is a difficult question.

I don't have the time for a 200 hour game in my life otherwise I probably would.
.

Get it people! Awesome game!

Won't play it until I have a CPP (I tried that demo without one, and it was... awkward), but this is a darn good price. I don't know, but I might download it in anticipation of buying a CPP.

@readyletsgo £25 is about €30 near as damn it. $ is a tax free price. (Seems it is fairly common for Americans to not be honest with that sort of thing = only matters if you are Al Capone or somebody else they don't like).

Oh great, just some weeks after I finally buy it they lower the price!

Pretty sweet! I have the game on WiiU and 3DS, both retail, but I will try to get some more of my friends to take the dive into this game!

Just make sure you know what charm table you're on before you make your character, kids. You don't want to end up like me, and waste 850+ hours before you realize your character is permanently gimped.
The more you know!

here in Brazil it's not half price, it's a R$100.00 discount!!! it was R$149.99 and now it is 49.99! I'll get it now! NOW!

Ive played it on wii, good game,but I'll wait till 4 comes out.

Never played a MH game, so I'll take the plunge with the 3DS one.

@SirQuincealot - Maybe, but it's probably going to be some time before we get MH4.

@Ralizah - Actually, the demo can't use the CPP. More people would have probably liked it if it did, considering the demo somewhat drops players into the deep end of the pool.
That said, I've had no problems playing the game without a CPP.

Went on the eShop today to check out The Wind Waker, only to see this. Looks like they just got me to spend $50 on both the Wii U and 3DS versions. Also getting The Wind Waker at midnight tonight. Damn you Nintendo for taking all my money.

@Senario How do you know in advance if you are going to spend 100 hrs on a game or not ?

@Legodavid18 yes! For me that closet the deal.

@unrandomsam that's the minimal time for the story kinda mode.

I'm getting.this even though I already own the retail version.

Nice deal for people but I had a real hard time with the demo. I'm just not sure if I want it. It's tempting at that price though.

What is the download size for the Wii U version?

@tchaten Just over 7000 i think.

The best game for Wii U is currently 50% off.

I get my WiiU tomorrow, I will be downloading this.
also I remember reading something about transferring save data between the wiiu and 3ds versions is this true?

Damn, by the time I get my Zelda Wii U the discount will be long gone. D:

That was quite a nice surprise when I went on to the eShop today. But I don't think I really want to buy the 3DS version since I'd need to buy the CPP as well... Especially after using dual sticks on the Wii U. And I'm more interested in MH4 anyway... And I'm quote bored with MH3U. :/

i would so buy this if i had the money

@GuSilverFlame how much is that in dollars? And it sounds like you are stealing from them lol.

Ooh, Im tempted to buy it on 3DS, but I think I will still wait until I have a Wii U first.

Smart move.

They want more of the hardcores to get on board immediately as the price drops, instead of waiting for the Christmas bundles.

@Macarony64 it is about $22.69(now I know I'm in the losing end XD )

@GuSilverFlame I hope you lose more often this way XD

@Macarony64 me too! videogames in Brazil are too expensive....

@GuSilverFlame enjoy your shiny new mh3u also do you have a YouTube channel that post video game music from Nintendo games? Gilvasunner is the channel name.

Is this the version that does not have Internet?

@Macarony64 no, my youtube channel(I don't remember the name) was abandoned a long time ago when I stopped posting school works(I loved making videos at school)

@Caryslan
The Wii U version has online play, but the 3DS version does not. Both are on sale for 50% off.

I got this game today for the 3DS just because of the sale, it's such a great deal for such an awesome game!

@Akira

What I mean is that I know what the game controls like without the CPP because of the demo. The controls were particularly hideous underwater.

@Ralizah underwater controls were hideous since the Wii version... and I can tell you it's not worse(but not better at all) in the 3DS without the CPP.

Ughhh... I bought a 35 dollar eshop card tuesday and got 4 games, 2 of which I'm disappointed with. I knew I should've waited till today to buy something...

Good deal. I recommend the Circle Pad Pro, and you can still get online on the 3DS version if you have a Wii U with an ethernet adaptor and download the packet relay tools.

I bought it on release day, and played about 95 hours before I lost most interest. Around 100 hours of game time is pretty good, IMO, and I paid the full $60.

I'm going to grab the wii u version for sure. Haven't decided on if I'm getting the 3ds version or not yet.

@Ryno What about 800 hours? That's mh3u medium play time.

@Akira 3 ultimate was a year after in the west, so it could be the same this time, but i imagine they will try to be speedier this time,

side note just got 3 utimate, better than i expected, the demo made it seem really hard, but they ease you into it nicely

Buy the wii u version and I'll meet you online for sure. This game is awesome.

Any news on download size for 3ds version?

Is this game still good without the online?

@Marshi Its about 14284 blocks

I'm tempted but I didn't like the demo much, will retry it later just in case. I think if I can convince my flatmate to buy it I may do too, though it would require me to buy a bigger SD card as even if I clear my current one totally I still won't have room for the game on it!

@SirQuincealot So there is no way to just skip all the tutorials? (I hate games with loads of tutorials or in game prompts). Just want to read the controls and play it (And learn through doing). Can you do anything in half an hour or do you have to play it for ages?

@triforcepower73 No. Its a shame they made 3DS Owners buy an adapter and a Wii-U to play online. No Online play takes a huge bite out of this game. Some people really liked it without the online and I put in about 60 hours myself but no online made it feel half done. If you own a Wii-U and can find the adapter your good to go online

@Windy Oh that sucks. I live outside town and don't get dsl or cable, so my family has to pay for a satellite and, as anyone in the same situation knows, it's awful. You get a limited amount of internet usage for an unfairly high price. And you can rarely do online gaming.

@XCWarrior

I just downloaded it last night and looking forward to playing online. I'll be sure to lookout for ya.

For a non-hardcore console guy, what does this game offer? I tried the demo and the visuals reminded me of vintange Morrowind, very ugly and dated looking, the gameplay seemed like a Duke Nukem boss battle. Get the hang of the AI pattern and play on it until the monster is dead. Going by the gameplay footage, the quest element is, um, rather simplistic.

I can totally see this on a handheld, it has that vibe, and it's deep for that kind of game, but fullscreen on a console on a TV it just seemed shallow, rather ugly and repetitive.

There must be something there or why the enthusiasm. Could somebody fill me in?

OH!!! I want to buy this game on wiiu, I am waiting on my shipment of the windwaker wii u! Hopefully it gets here in time so i can buy the game for cheap!!

I have the 3ds version and I've been trying not to buy the Wii u version because I already have the game. Now I have to get it and I'm pleased I was too tight to get it before.

@Senario Yep sorry about that. when the game first came out it required a Lan adapter but they patched the Wii-U so you can play online without it. My mistake. But it's still Cheesy to make people own a Wii-U to play a 3DS game online

@Sceptic

It's very geared toward multi player. You have to enjoy grinding materials and farming resources a bit too. The game loses much of its luster in solo play for some people. I own both versions and I really enjoy it. Plenty of weapons to work on getting good with, a nice bit of a challenge. And on a large TV with HDMI crisp display the game looks good in my opinion. This game was developed for the Wii, after all, and it is merely an enhanced port. But the community is there, and a lot of people are nice that play it. When you hunt a Barrioth with some dudes and its thrashing around it's a lot of fun to be a monster hunter.
