Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Expo Banner Raises Questions With Wii U Logo

NO! NOW THE 3DS HAS LOST ONE MORE GOOD EXCLUSIVE!!!!!

Probably a port from the 3DS just like MH3 Ultimate was.

I wudnt mind another chance for cross platform gaming, I was tempted with mh3 but played it to death on the wii u so it was pretty pointless for me

I think it is just a mistake though it would be awesome if a Wii U version was coming, I'd probably get that instead of the 3DS version for more stable online.

Don't believe it till Capcom confirms it.

Im hoping its true. But I dont want to pay 100$ for both so some kind of deal price wise would be welcome.

Yes please!

Maybe its just there for the same reason the Wii U logo is on the bottom of Ubisofts new Assassins Creed games page, the one that says "play on any console" at the top.

Love how nobody is raging anymore now that the idea of WiiU getting MH4U is slightly more likely. Sigh.

I want the game on wii U! So yeah, I hope it's true!

I don't see the 3DS logo so it must have been i mistake like i think i heard once a Hollywood news article advertised PS4 as a Nintendo product. Could still be likely wouldn't take so much more time to port

Ugh, hoping it's an error.

Please be true!

@Ichiban Do you still play MH3U on the wiiu? I have been thinking about jumping back in.

I hope it's real. Probably isn't, don't see why some posters here seem to hate the idea of it coming to Wii U, like it's a NOT a Nintendo system or shouldn't be there for some reason.

If it´s an error, someones gonna have a pain in the butt tonight.

you can see the banner surrounded by 3DSs systems and other games...

it's a mistake...someone maybe be losing is job....

I hope it's real too! Monster Hunter is always better on the consoles to begin with!! I cannot stand the controls on the 3ds for MH.....plus it runs allot smoother with better visuals on a console vs handheld.

@Jazzer94 for all of the same reasons that I'm going to get Smash for the wiiu instead of the 3ds. Online,HD, better controls, bigger ,better screen,sound. The WiiU needs to fill out its library. I think it's probable that the game will make it to my tv.

I can see this happening but I doubt they would be announcing it so close to the 3ds release and in this way.

Don't play with me D:

"As of now there's be no indication that the latest entry in the Monster Hunter series was planned for any console other then the 3DS"

Don't you mean 'there's BEEN no indication...'?

@ChibiJib Probably meant 'there be no indication', don't discriminate against pirates.

The 3DS version has online this time (iirc) so I'm not against a Wii U version like I was last time.

If it is coming to the Wii U this time then I will pick up a Wii U version as I got MH3:U on the 3ds.

If it comes to both, I'll probably still get the 3DS version. The WiiU version would seem simpler though. There's no confusion on if the game will work on the WiiU, whereas people are flipping tables because they don't know if the 3DS version works with the CPP, or if it's a New3DS exclusive, etc etc.

@MrMario02 lol is the vita getting it? Should they cancel smash 3ds then?

@AVahne why is that?

@AVahne why do you want it to be an error?

If this is real, i don't expect it to be a port this time.
It could have been made from scratch like 1 year ago. We know how secretive Nintendo is. Also note that Monster Hunter 3 was a port to get it much quicker to the market.
Also remember that MH3 is the #1 selling third party game on Wii U, and was #1 online game before Mario Kart.

So we got here in Europe a leak-revealing banner for something not even confirmed in Japan? That's very unlikely >.>
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that even if MH4 will be revealed for Wii U this banner is still a simple mistake with no "leaking" knowledge behind it.

This is probably an error. As much as i love MH3U on the Wii U, i'll be happy either way. I just wanna play. I'd be interested to play it on New 3DS.

No way will I play a game like Monster Hunter on the cruddy 3DS. Wii U would be fine but unlikely. Even more unlikely but even better would be Vita or PS4.

@gabopr75

Last time Capcom and Nintendo offered MH3U on 3DS half price if you bought it alongside the Wii U version. Though I am pretty sure this was just a mistake and the game isn't actually coming to Wii U. I don't want to get my hopes up.

It would be awesome if the Wii U got the game as well as the 3DS, I would buy both! I have MH3U for both systems right now and I play as different characters on each platform, the game is great bigger but wonderful when your on the go!

Still play MH3U and l would love to see MH4U on wiiu and 3ds I would gladly buy both versions for cross play, I realy hope this is true!

Regardless of if it's coming or not, that is OBVIOUSLY a mistake, seeing as it has no mention of 3DS, yet has a demo on 3DS below it xD

It could very well be coming to Wii U and that could be a double-sided poster, behind the poster is the Wii U section, isn't it? Also the colouring of blue is usually associated with Wii U and red for 3DS. - If I was to look too much into it / wishful think.

But yeah, chances are is isn't coming, pretty sure Capcom even said they weren't happy with bringing it to Wii U...

I would love for this news to be true. I've been playing MH3U on my Wii U lately and having a blast. Absolutely no interest in getting it for the 3DS as I didn't enjoy the demo of MH3U on the 3DS. But I'm expecting that this isn't happening.

I didn't enjoy mh3 for the Wii U because of the controls delay and poor graphics, but.. if this is true I would give it a try..

Yes please! I enjoy the Wii U version of MH3U much more than the 3DS one mainly because of the size of the screen. That and I can use the pro controller.

I'm trying to pre-order this but can't find it anywhere

@faint
I just feel that a Wii U version would be a complete waste of resources since the sales potential for a Wii U port would be rather low, especially considering Capcom's current financial struggles. But that's just my opinion.

@Jeremyx7

Exactly, I hate it when people are butt hurt it might not be a 3DS exclusives...even though it'd be way better on Wii U...Honestly, I have no interest in the 3DS version anyway because it feels like such a downgrade in controls and graphics. I don't care how many people own the 3DS (and how "amazing" it is), an inferior game is an inferior game. If it does come to Wii U my faith in Capcom may be SLIGHTLY restored...enough to buy this one game from them, at least.

Feels like a mistake. You read MH4U and think oh Wii U because New Super Mario Bros U, Wii Fit U etc...

It's probably fake, though I'd buy both versions of MH4U if this is real.

I'd buy it.

It was supposed to be a 3DS exclusive.

You would think it's a pretty glaring mistake. It's not as if there's much on the banner to draw your attention away from it.

When and where is this expo?

@AlexOlney Was it my post in the Wii U forum that tipped you off?! If so I'm glad I helped, if not nice find!

Probably a mistake, but that would be pretty cool news if true (even if I'm not a big MH fan).

If you look to the far right of the pic there is a Wii U station! It's a monitor with the words Wii U underneath! This basically confirms it!

Really hope this is real. Cause I don't have any plans of getting the 3DS version. The Wii U version of MH3U was epic. Really enjoyed playing that beautiful game on 60'' HD tv. Hope Capcon comes thru on this one.

Somebody at Capcom is probably freaking out right now lol

Yeah they already said the banner was an error...4 Ultimate is still 3DS only.

Wish it were true.

@MrMario02 What's wrong about the Wii U getting it, too? The 3DS doesn't really need a lot of exclusives right now, it's already has a lot. The Wii U deserves these types of games, too.

Of course it is a mistake. Capcom does not want to know anything about the Wii U anymore and we are all aware of that.

And after their "Revelaitons" typo and the Okami cover with the IGN watermark, is not like Capcom is particularly careful with this stuff.

The knowledge that I will not be able to play a Wii U version of MH4U has caused me to lose my zest for the series. I have two 3DS copies of MH3U and one for Wii U, so I know exactly the sacrifice I would need to make...

I'm going to be the bearer of official bad news.

http://www.capcom-unity.com/dubindoh

I use the data transfer tool all the time to play my character on both systems. I would definitely get this on the Wii U if it were true; I actually would prefer a Wii U version over the 3DS.

I'm skeptical...but this still gave me the feeling of waiting out the 3DS release just in case. MH3U was just amazing on WiiU, if 4U has any chance of releasing on that platform, I'll wait it out. No hurry.

Oh man, do I want a Wii U version of MH4U to be real. Just got into the series with the Wii U version of MH3U and am planning on getting MH4U on 3DS, but man, I'd rather play on a big screen, with comfortable controls.

I'll buy into Momster Hunter finally if they release it for WiiU in America.

@mrmario02 @avahne

And all the others. Why the heck would you not want a (pun intended) monster selling game on Wii U.

Wii U is a big year away from having a breakthru. 2015 can very likely be that year with Zelda U, Xenoblade X, SMTx FE, and StarfoxU.. as well as possibly MH4u n DQX.

Why would you NOT want theae huge, content filled, robust adventure games on the console. These are the games to appeal to the other kind of gamer that Nintendo doeant traditionally attract. I cant fathom someone wanting them to NOT come...

They probably just want to officially announce this later. I wouldn't be surprised if the Wii U version is real, despite what Yuri replied. That said, I've been disappointed by Capcom before.

Either way, I'm just glad to be getting another Monster Hunter title on 3DS, and whoever setup that banner is probably in big trouble.

@LetsGoRetro The biggest reason to not want it on Wii U is the massive 3DS vs Wii U double standard going on in the fanbase.

Whenever 3DS owners ask for something on Wii U to come to 3DS, such as Mario Maker or GBA games on VC, Wii U owners attack them saying "NO, buy a Wii U. Support the system" (I've even seen some of them get called fake Nintendo fans). However, whenever there's a 3DS exclusive like MH4U, those same Wii U owners come begging for it to come to Wii U and/or bash Nintendo for "ignoring the Wii U". The amount of people I saw bash Nintendo for not making Pokemon ORAS a Wii U exclusive was ridiculous.

That double standard in the fanbase rather irritates me.

come on, say it with me now, IT WILL BE FOR WIIU, IT WILL BE FOR WIIU, IT WILL BE FOR WIIU!!!!!!

MH4U comes after MH3U, right?

So this basically means 'Half Life 3 Confirmed For Wii U'

You're welcome!

@AVahne well mh3 was just an hd port expansion of trine and still managed over 500,000 copys so i would bet a new entry would do well.

@IceClimbers well the 3ds does get way way way more games then the 3ds does.

@LetsGoRetro
Its not a "monster" seller on Wii U, MH3U only sold .50mil. compared to 2.60mil. on 3DS. The fanbase is pretty firmly rooted on handhelds. The only reason Capcom bothers with a console version is supposedly MH should do better there in the west.

@faint
The 3DS version sold 5x more though, 50k is kinda low even by niche standards. MH4U would still be just an HD port as well. The 3DS does get more support, but hypocrisy is still hypocrisy.

@Iceclimber
Thats an interesting point, haven't thought of that one. Haven't seen anyone bash Nintendo for not making OR/AS Wii U exclusive spicifically, thats a new one. I've seen them bashed for not making a main-series game for consoles in general though. Either way they don't seem to get why Pokemon is succeful in the first place.

I'm glad its not just because I won't be eating crow for all those times I've said its not.

I'd buy the Wii U version over the 3DS one any time.

@Daisaku36 very strange indeed. Nintendo has a good handful of great games comin out in the next couple of months but no one has said anything in the way of what Nintendo has coming out for Wii U in 2015. Besides Zelda, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, and Xenoblade Chronicles... what other hopeful blockbusters are comin out? Mario hasn't been announced (even though reports are of another game being made), Metroid hasn't been announced, and Star Fox is still kinda cloudy as far as what the game will actually be like. I don't think I'm missing anymore games. MH4 would be nice to slide in for gamers in '15. Why some posters don't like the idea of another good Wii U game is BEYOND me.

Officially denied by Capcom.

I want this on Wii u so bad really don't want to play this on 3DS

@Zombie_Barioth

I didnt say anything about MH3u, i said that THIS game is a monster seller, as it sold a ton on the 3ds and thats all i have to judge it on.

Does it mean itll automatically sell well on wii u? Of course not, but its always good to have a game that is proven to be popular come to your system.

@iceclimbers

I was not aware that such a standard existed, but thats silly that it does. Im all about supporting nintendo (well, most gaming, in general, but Nintendo is my fav)

@judgemethos

2015 isa huge year, with all these confirmedfor wii u:

ZElda u
Devils third
Smt x fe
Starfox u
Xenoblade cx
Splatoon
Mario maker
Mario vs donkey kong
Yoshis wooly world
Kirbys rainbow curse

@LetsGoRetro Well, those are good to see on paper but blockbuster? I mean, million seller lookin' titles, man. I'll buy most of those just because I'm sure they'll be fun but you mentioned some I mentioned already. Those tare the ones I considered the blockbusters. Devils Third looks fun but I'm gonna wait on that one. Mario vs Donkey Kong may be good but selling great in the US? I dunno, man. I meant great titles that will/could sell the Wii U.

I can see it happening. And if it happens this might be the version I'll get (If I decide to get it).

@LetsGoRetro
I know, I'm just going by past sales for an educated guess. There aren't a whole lot of console Monster Hunters out there in the west. MH3 is the only modern one besides MH3U that sold "well", but its still only 2.7 or so million out of 100mil. consoles. No idea what to make of ithat.

Who knows though, MH4U is the 1st 4th-gen Monster Hunter we're getting, and the hype for it seems pretty good. Its an actual 'new' game for us, and so are many of the old monsters. Unfortunately we'll probably never know, this was confirmed to be a mis-print.

Not an MH fan but I'd prefer playing this with a better controller. And Wii U need gamez.

I wqas there and asked the Staff, they said that it was just a missprinted banner and that they knew nothing about a WiiU version of this game.

@MrMario02 3ds still safe. Wheeeeew!

@Cryolisk the rage continues. Lol

@Daisaku36 the answer is very simple. For those wii u owners who don't have a 3ds AND keep bashing 3ds like AS THOUGH it doesn't belong to nintendo behaves exactly like Sony fanboys. That's why they get such a treatment back. For both 3ds n wii owners peace! Kudos!

@Josaku I love your honesty

@Luffymcduck pluck it a hand grip or even the CPP, that's a good controller. Comfy on the hands. Have both the CPP and the capcom's hand grip designed for monster hunter. Both works equally good but I prefer the capcom 's one better

@pr0t0man I'm the opposite. Handheld n going out, friends place have fun together as a group

@Zombie_Barioth if it comes out to wii u in the future it would be good. But as of now, I bought 2 extra 3ds xl before wii u anytime.

Well most companies deny till the last possible second. So this still gives me hope. I'll hold on to my preorder for now though.
