Capturing the grandeur of the hunt in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
The sheer scale of Monster Hunter can be overwhelming at times, full of moments spent looking off into what seems like a never-ending horizon while chasing monsters three or four times your size. It’s meant to make you feel like one tiny participant in a massive ecosystem – which you are also trying to destroy.
The only window to this massive world over the past few years has been the PSP. In North America, the lone exception has been the Wii’s Monster Hunter Tri, while the PlayStation 3 port of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd has remained exclusive to Japan.
But North America will finally be able to explore Monster Hunter’s creature-filled worlds in high-definition in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for Nintendo’s Wii U. Ultimate is an HD update of the aforementioned Monster Hunter Tri that includes a large amount of new content. Playing the upgraded version after spending time with the game on 3DS felt right; it was like suddenly being able to see after being locked in a dark room.
