so did tatsunoko vs capcom, but that didn't mean anything in the end.
they added online to the wiiu version, so they could've done the same for the 3ds version...
damn :/ my RL friends suck at monster hunter, gotta get the wii u version than, hoping for a nice bundle.
I don't like it when people poke holes in my arguments. You have been warned.
I doubt the 3DS version has online because the Wii U version exists. Not sure if they'd have to do any extra work to add in online on the 3DS one, but if they do they probably won't.
Addition are in terms of resolution (it's HD) and modes (online and..cross play?)
exaclty what western people were looking for (for TriG, of course).
I'm wondering if MH4 could be forseen incoming on the Wii U as well.
So if you have no friends, WiiU version is the only way to go. WiiU it is.I don't like it when people poke holes in my arguments. You have been warned.

Expect that this one has online and comes out in the west.

This is the western release of Tri G. It just coincides with the release of the HD port.

I am only a little into MH3 on the Wii. Should I sell my copy and wait for the Wii U/3DS games, or are they going to be different?

I doubt you're getting much for the copy since I think new copies are going for around $20. If you already have Tri, might as well play it while you wait for Tri G.
Yeah, stop playing right now and wait for the expansion. Your experience will be fresh and massive!

But will I just be replaying the same game in six months on the 3DS/Wii U though? I would rather not waste my time now. I got my copy for practially nothing.
You would play through everything you're playing through on the Wii, just with more missions, monsters, locales. And shadows.

Delicious shadows.

I don't mind if the North American 3DS version is not online. It would be my solo device, I can do short quests and/or grinding/farming while on the go, then at home I can hop online on the Wii U version.

That's true. If you have other games to play, it's probably better to grind things out on the newer version since there's no indication you can transfer saves. Shelf it, especially if you're not very far into the game.
One of the biggest complaints about Tri G is that the offline part is pretty much the same as Tri. It's too bad that there isn't any character transfer from Tri to Tri G/Ultimate.

Thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate it, as does my backlog.

Exactly what I plan too.
WHERE IS THE CIRCLE PAD PRO XL?! I need control parity.

Would be nice. Until then, Ultimate can easily last a year, if not 2 or 3. (Don't tell Capcom, though.)

Yes, please. Adding some polygons and better textures for the WiiU version should do wonders for the visuals of MH4.

What.. Tri had by far the best online service on the Wii, hands down.
No silly friend codes.

4 player max for rooms was pretty lame though. Hopefully they're really beefed up for this. The Wii U can take it!
Keyboard, inventory, stats, map...it just makes way too much sense.
Is this phrase actually being uttered or am I dreaming

Well, AA5 and MHWiiU announced for the west in the same week is a pretty amazing one-two combo. If it wasn't for DmC they would have almost made all their wrongs right as far as I'm concerned.

This is my new desktop wallpaper for the next six months.
They should have also said they were localizing Mega Man Online instead of cancelling it.

Can't message players who are on a quest
Fairly frequent disconnects
Can only search for rooms with every specific criteria filled in
Plenty of room for improvement even before we get into XBL-like features

Will buy 3ds and Wii U version.

another potential game for a WiiU.

Never really had an issue with disconnects. Always seemed solid to me, and we were running two Wiis at once and usually two computers with Skype going too.
But yeah, 'best online on the Wii' is not that great. I hope this game improves on it a lot.
I hope like MH3G, the Game Pad is customizable and used for quick access to the map, etc. Or even dragging pieces of the UI like the chat box with other players down there. Give me more room on the gameplay screen.

I'm probably going to grab the 3DS version regardless of whether it has online or not. I really hope it gets a digital release so I can play it at all times.

Doesn't seem like it, no, however there is some kind of ad-hoc thing that allows 3DS players to play with Wii U players. (Whether all players have to be local or it allows online players is yet to be clarified.)

I'm not sure how the hosting for the tavern/room/lobby works but I think a lot of issues are related to which ports other people have open for their Wii. Aside from actual disconnects after you're already in a room, there a lot of times where I get error messages trying to enter a room. Or where someone else trying to enter a room I'm already in keeps disconnecting.

Content is king.
It's a love/hate thing. Deep down we all love the good Capcpom games but then the company ruins it with boneheaded decisions. This one here is a good one though.

I'm glad it's coming out in March, I should have a wii u by then.. I really wanted online in the 3DS version though, but I supposed I can get the WiiU version instead.
