Monster Hunter games have always piqued our curiosity due to their massive bestiary and strong co-op community, but we haven't put one through its paces before. That's about to change, as we've checked out both the WiiU and 3DS versions of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Will the co-op goodness shine through, or will we be stuck grinding for materials? Let's find out!
Verdict
The Co-Op Experience: Wii U players will be able to enjoy the hunt with up to three other Nintendo 3DS players via a local wireless connection, or up to three other online Wii U players. The 3DS version supports four players via a local ad/hoc connection. Gamers that own both a Wii U and Nintendo 3DS can take advantage of the inter compatibility of save data between the two consoles, taking the hunt from the living room wherever they go.
