Virtual d-pad on the right-side of the touchscreen for camera adjustments. Along with the shoulder button for focusing in the direction you're facing.
huzzah!!
Yes; you can switch between the GamePad and the Pro/CC Pro in the options.
Second go at the rabbit thing was much, much more successful. Actually got him! I've been using just the L-Button as my camera control and it's serviceable. The Wii-U version seems like a more ideal choice, but I can see the 3DS version being fine.
Learning more about the gunlance just made me way better with it. When I stopped trying to use it as a distance weapon and more of working shots into larger stab combos, I was way more successful with it. Still, I think I may end up using a faster weapon or maybe even one of the pure ranged ones. Not sure yet. I'll need to give them a go. Still, I'm enjoying MH much more than I expected I would.

I wish the 3DS version had online, the game looks pretty bad on WiiU.

I didn't know how it worked so I was worried.
Basically you select target on the touch screen then when you tap L the camera turns to the monster.

Just beat the bunny with a great sword on 3DS. Never used the virtual d-pad. All target button. I don't think I need a CPP at all. The target button is much faster than swinging the camera around with a stick.
Right to the heart of it. Nice work.
It's also why potions aren't instant. You have to time almost everything when fighting.

Not even remotely true.

How is it not remotely true? It's a Wii game with a few effects thrown on.
I don't think it looks bad, but you seem to have taken the complete opposite stance of who you quoted, which is still a bit extreme imo

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
I love posts like these. Reminds of the time when I ran three miles to GameStop and back to get Super Mario Galaxy 2 at launch. Sidewalk pedestrians were getting all angry when I was weaving and dodging between them on the way back, I felt like screaming "I have the new Mario Galaxy in my book-bag!!!"... But I don't think they would have understood.
Anyways, just downloaded the demo on WiiU, will give it a try when I take my study-break.

Well I mean it doesn't look superb, but I wouldn't say it looks bad. It sure as hell looks better than Monster Hunter tri- does when played on the Wii U, thats for sure.
The tiny type and the 3D effect do not work well together. Another reason I'm going Wii-U over 3DS.

I don't like the main menu in 3D. The 3 looks badly done.

I doubt it is anything more than an upscaled version of the Wii game. I'd say the game looks like an average PS3 title.
It's MT Framework Mobile running on Wii U. It's a brand new engine.
It's not hard at all. It just looks blurry on the XL.
Just tried the rabbit quest with the longsword dude and the bow. I have absolutely no clues what I'm doiing lol. Is there a way to know how much health the monster have? With the bow how can I switch between different type of amo? Even if I choose the sleep or power amo type they all seem to have the same effect... And is there a way to adjust the camera to not move by increment? Would control better if it was smooth.
The wii u version doesn't look to good from my perspective, but still is a great game.
As a beginner and having played 3 weapons (dual sword, great sword and sword+shield) i have to say that the faster weapon seems to be easier in this case dual sword.
It seemed so overpowered and i managed to kill the boss in less than ten minutes. I just went kaioken(the character turned red by pressing L button while attacking) and spammed the x and a buttons while dodging occasionaly, also there were times where the monster would be paralyzed. The great sword was very strong but very difficult to use.
I think the game is fun but i wish it had 2 player local multiplayer on wii u.

To switch coatings hit X+A when you have the bow drawn.

Grats to you. I had my BIL play, and he just mashed attack until he died and then complained that the game was cheap.

I tried out some of the new weapons (new to me, maybe not to the series). I don't know how I feel about the hunting horn and bow. I'd like to see an expert play with those to see how it's done. I stuck with my tried and true great sword in the end.
Plesioth is scary to me. They way he looks and that cackling sound he makes... ewww. If that thing really existed in nature, fuck.
Game looks lovely in HD.

After playing the 3DS demo, and loving every second, I'm in and I'm gonna have to get an XL for sure...
Try out dual sword it's very fast also seemed very easy.
Looking at the manual is helpful to find out how to use each type of weapon. Don't go in blindly lol.
Different weapons have different speeds. Dual Swords are the fastest.

Well I got Lagombi on the first try with the long sword, then I switched to dual swords and it was much much faster but I'm a bit scared to go for Plesioth now.
Game looks nice in 1080p, I've enjoyed what I played a lot so far, learning the monsters attacks and when to move in or run for your life proves to be very interesting indeed.
First time Monster Hunter player and I think I'm convinced on picking up the game, will play a bit more and try out the other weapons first, and report back.

You'll gain intuition for approximate monster health over time. When it gets close to dying it'll start limping and running away.
The Sleep status effect is something that procs after you deal enough sleep damage to it. You'll know it happens when the music suddenly stops. When it falls asleep, the next attack deals 3x damage to it. I recommend bombing its face; just remember not to hit the monster itself when you set off the bomb!
The camera moving in increments is fucking stupid and is an artifact of the original MH that will go away in MH4.
I tried Great Sword first, wasted most of the time trying to figure out the controls and running around the map. Eventually found the monster (on easy) by accident and started fighting, killed me once, and then timed out.
Second time I chose another character, cannot really read what weapon was, it was the woman with the fire/explosive long sword and the asian hat. Its impossible to read the text with my shitty TV, so I just wing it. Did a lot better anyway, but it killed me once and then I stopped playing.
It does support the CCPro. You may need to switch to it in the options menu if you started the demo with the gamepad.

Finally killed Lagombi (am rubbish!) With gunlance.
Tons of fun and I can see how good this could be starting up from the beginning and getting to know your own items/strategies.
