Wii Speak was a separate piece of hardware nobody owned. Every Wii U comes with a microphone out of the box.

I want to believe they won't make up some shit excuse to make it pretty similar than to what it is in tri.
I doubt it though. I'm cynical as fuck when it comes to MH. I've been burned so many times.
edit: To above, that won't stop them curbing lobby sizes.
Well this is a 3DS game on a souped up PS3. There isn't going to be any technical limitations with this, at least not with voice chat quality.
Capcom are lazy though so I don't expect anything more than 4 player rooms.

So the only thing we know is that it probably won't be a step back from Tri's online? Nintendo needs to end this information embargo on their online services soon. :/
Seems like they recognize that the online interface could be more streamlined though.

4 Player Monster Hunter parties sound like the best thing ever.
It's not gonna happen. 3DS is local only. Even when playing co-op with WiiU.
There has to be a whole bunch of context missing because it sounds like he's saying that they want to get rid of the guild hall (as we know it).

Surprisingly accurate.

Thought the same thing, but they wouldn't be that dumb.
We need to change gear, upgrade weapons, buy items, eat. We need a lobby.

I really need this for WiiU. I loved Tri, but after like 20 hours in my old TV broke and I had to switch it to my HD tv which just made it look like mud and it was depressing to play. How much better does it look if I get component cables for Wii?
Still looks awful unfortunately.
It'll look better than not even using component cables, but it will never look that good on an HDTV. You should definitely get those component cables.
From a proper viewing distance Tri looks alright. Could be one of the better looking Wii games, actually.
I was doing a Jhen Mohran quest once and some guy brought a sleep sword & shield and wanted to sleep bomb it.

LOL
This strategy is not widely popular, so after some time I got used to reading messages such as "dumb fuck why did you use the dragonator". *leaves*

I've never played MH before. Is it possible to play the game single player? If so, are there AI hunters that join you? Or is coop the only way to go?

Dunno about that, but 95% sure Capcom said "eff it" to the textures on 4 and are holding back far better ones for the probable Wii version.
Wow Tri looks awesome. Am too used to 3G and forgot how Tri looks on the Wii.

Why would they be "looking into" voice chat. Every Wii U has voice chat out of the box, should be a foregone conclusion with online games.
At this stage it would be more about the amount of effort they want to put in for what is ostensibly a port of a 3DS game.
Hopefully with it being a launch title in Japan (and subsequently something Nintendo seems eager to promote) they go all out in making it as good a port as they can and take advantage of everything the Wii U has to offer.
Interesting. I've never seen that Dragonator strategy before. Heh, players sure love to exploit bugs in games.
Yeah, those Dolphin screenshots of MH TRi sure do look good. If Wii games clean up that nicely, then I must be in for a real treat with the more compotent hardware power Wii U has and to finally play games in HD too.

Shadup. You hypocrite.
I use them for fun when I have spare room in my bag.
Yeah, having spare room is usually the reason why players don't often bring them along against most quests. However, their great for helping to break Jhen Mohran's tusks (or use to hit beneath his jaw), Alatreon's Wings,and Deviljho's face. Plus, they can make monsters like Lagiacrus flinch easily.
I bring them with me on any flying monster hunt. Unless you're a gunner, you can't really hit a monster in the air or one that's flying away. If you get lucky you might even drop a monster that was about to take off to a different area.
Bounce bombs are totally rad and you should feel bad if you aren't using them.

I never got the hang of aiming Bounce Bombs underwater. They're a great way to supplement damage when I use a paralysis weapon though. Especially when it's too risky to use LBB+ because of LS users wailing away at the monster.
I hear ya. Getting used to bounce bombs underwater is fairly tricky especially with the + version. Still, it's cool to use them just see em torpedo away.
I almost always get hit by Gigginox when using regular bounce bombs due to his quick body slam and hanging swoop attacks. Not a big window for opportunity unless using bounce bombs+ it seems.

I prefer to hunt monsters without using supplies. Just me and my weapon!

Is it reasonable to expect TriU to look like those Dolphin shots?

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD didn't look like those Dolphin shots.
If you stand directly in the middle of it's shadow the hanging swoop attack will miss. I always go nuts with bounce bombs against Gigginox, more for fun than anything else.

I was just saying in the Wii U thread how much I hate this ad
Where is the HD in this?
Where is the HD in this?
Yes, but MHP3 wasn't MHTri
Let's hope!
It will be the less powerful, but it's impossible for it to be "the Wii": it's coming one year (at least) before the more powerful competitors (unlike the Wii, way less powerful than Xbox360 that hit the market one year earlier, and way less powerful of PS3 released at the same time); it's way more powerful of the previous Nintendo console (unlike the Wii that was almost similar to the GC in terms of graphics); it's an HD console that probably will share resolution barrier with the vast majority of the games for competitor consoles (unlike the Wii that was unable to play on th same pitch, and looking at Dolphin emulator should suggest us how much this limit affected the Wii graphically)
It shows that HD is not important in Japan?I was just saying in the Wii U thread how much I hate this ad
