Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Demo News and Release Date Confirmed

Big news for Wii U and 3DS owners today as Capcom has confirmed the release dates for the anticipated game Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. You can begin your journey when the game hits retail stores on March 19th in the US and March 22nd in Europe. Within that timeframe, Capcom says that the digital eShop version will be available as a full retail release as well. As one can expect, players will take on the role of a hunter and are sent to explore the Monster Hunter universe slaying monsters.

You’ll be able to play the game alone or in four player online or local play using Nintendo 3DS; Wii U players will be able to hunt with Nintendo 3DS players via a local wifi. Those with both a Wii U and Nintendo 3DS can take advantage of the inter compatibility of save data between the two consoles, taking the hunt from the living room wherever they go. Also of note is that Capcom says the Wii U version will fully support voice chat which has me excited for some good team strategy.

If you want to get a taste of the action to come, Capcom will release the demo for the game on the eShop for both the Wii U and 3DS versions on February 21st.
