Nintendo 3DS

NintendoLife is in an uproar at that little revelation. I swear, the server is going to burst into flames.

So many people will be left feeling betrayed.

k so i never played monster hunter....is it like pokemon for grown ups? and that extra circle pad accessory is confirmed to be made by nintendo it seems

Monster Hunter is pretty much what the title says it is. :lol:


But, to go into a bit more detail, you create a character (you choose their facial features, scars, clothing, hair colour, voice clips, and so on), hunt monsters, and forge weapons and armour from the hides, fangs, etc., from the monsters. In some games, there are little cat-people companions, known as Airou/Felynes, who can assist in battle in various ways, or who might be pacifists but can cook power-up food for you (they have different personality types that dictate how they will fight, or whether they'd be better off as chefs), or be sent scouting, and stuff like that.

In particular, I like this comment.

edit: Guess we'll be seeing 3DSlite or XL next year with a better battery and two sticks.

@ Orion

But doesn't that mean you have to buy this new add-on if you want to play games that support it?

Well I would hope there would be alternate control layouts you could choose. Like how you play Resistance on the PSP for example, it's great but would be so much better with a second analog. But you're right, it is a possibility, but they would also conceivably be loosing a lot of sales from people who choose not to buy it or who don't buy it right away. Hopefully they won't continue this pattern of stupid mistakes with the 3DS!


Completely off topic, what do you guys thnk of this? http://lightake.com/detail.do/sku.Portable_Hand_Grip_Stand_with_Speaker_for_3DS_Blue__Built_in_4000mAh_Battery_-44283


With the exception of the color it looks like it would be pretty handy.

Monster Hunter might push me into buying the 3ds... Just like it pushed me into buying the Wii...

Honestly? I'm not sure I would risk buying a lithium battery from such a site, for some reason... The pricing doesn't seem to be too different to batteries which definitely have proper safety approvals and suchlike (not saying that this one doesn't, but I just can't see the advantage of not buying from somewhere better-known).

 

[Orion4874]

Well it's not just the battery, I already have the Nyko battery, it's also has the game grip form and speakers. But you're probably right about the quality, sub par more than likely. But for $20 it's a little tempting.

Are you implying that pokemon is not already for grown ups?

 

[Prometheus]

Monster Hunter is nothing like Pokemon. I don't really know what to compare it to, though...

I always noticed some aspects of MH that I used to see in WoW. But maybe that's just me.

I couldn't comment - I'm completely unfamiliar with World of Warcraft.

It consumed me for a while, but I enjoyed it


Now that I'm not playing, I can't see myself getting into any MMO again.

Monster Hunter's primarily a single-player thing, if that's of any interest. Some games have an online mode, but generally multiplayer is local-only, from what I know.

oh, well gee....go fuck yourself CAPCOM i guess.... http://nintendoeverything.com/73292/

they've been doing that a lot lately :\ it might come in a year or two like it did for ssfAE for the pc when they said they never were going to do it because of piracy but just this July they did.

go fuck yourself CAPCOM

That is exactly what I said when my friend told me about this :lol:

Is Monster Hunter Wii indicative of the series on the whole? It was terrible.

I can't say I know. It's the only one I've played, and I rather enjoyed it, aside from the fact it's not portable, and the sad lack of the adorable cat-people companions (who, I've learned, are sadly absent from the 3DS one as well) .
