    It has online play, yes. I'm getting this as well and have been playing the series since the launch in '05. What else do you want to know?

    I will assume you meant "place to buy from" and If you want a brick and mortar shop, I would recomend GAME. Although I am not sure on what price they will offer the game at, they do have a bundle that includes the following:
    1. Monster Hunter Tri
    2. Classic Controller Pro (black)
    3. Wii Speak
    4. Lagiacrus (the monster on the box of the game) bust.

    Big Red one = Lao Shan Lung
    BLack One = Fatalis

    Only Rathalos, Rathian and Diablos are returning this time round, but this game pushes quality over quantity.

    Yes but you need an adaptor which is very hard to find nowadays.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭tonydude

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭tonydude


    its pricey for an adapter

    Want to buy this, hopefully the bundles won't be too expensive. Play has the game + a classic controller - no chance I'm buying the game without that - up for just under 60 euro, although would be nice to get Wii Speak if it didn't add too much to the price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭tonydude


    the hut is cheaper for that bundle

    The Hut does not have the one with the Wii Speak and Lagiacrus Bust though, and I think GAME are giving away a Rathalos Bust with all pre-orders.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Noxin


    I'm guessing it's better to get the controller for this then? It's not like other wii games involving you actually moving about somewhat?

    Ohh, I just read it has a split screen option for two player mode as well. Nice!

    Ok am I reading this right. MHT + controller + wii speak @ £199?? HERE

    The game and controller are priced £42.??? Confused

    The reasons that bundle is expensive there is someone is selling it as a collectable, the bundle is only available from GAME however.

    Splitscreen is in arena mode only, not online or in village quests.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭TangyZizzle


    Is having the classic controller a must? or can you play with just the wii controller and nunchuk?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,928 ✭✭✭VenomIreland

    You can use the wii-mote, but all the controls with it, bar the Hammer, are so awkward that it's worth using the Classic Controller.

    That'll be it so. Didn't realise it was the collectors edition. Will have to check the price in Game. Cheers.

    9/10 on eurogamer.

    This might be the first bit of dabbling I do into the series. I'm tempted now :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭TangyZizzle


    What do you guys think the reception will be like? Im lookin to head into Dublin early Friday to pick up my copy with the classic controller, what are the chances of it being sold out? if any? and.. ya know.. ruining my day, haha.

    I would ring to make sure there is a copy available, just in-case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭TangyZizzle

    Yes you can type, you can even use a USB keyboard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 76 ✭✭Daeltaja


    Apparently the Ultimate pack is a Game exclusive, however I visited Gamestop over the weekend and they had preorder boxes out for the Ultimate pack too. Stuck a preorder on it, but for some reason I'm a bit skeptical about them getting it. I have a GS gift voucher and they give better trade-in prices hence why I choose them.

    Anyone else preorder it at Gamestop?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭TangyZizzle


    No, its not a bad idea either. Thing is, I wont have the chance to do it until Wednesday, I hope thats not too late :/

    Just two days to go, I seriously can't wait and have convinced a friend to get it aswell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭tonydude


    Just another question by me :D : Can you enter a lobby and meet random people like Monster hunter 1 or must you swap a friend code to play online with some one

    As stated earlier, there are NO friend codes.

    Yes, you can play with randoms, you can even search for quest and see if anyone is hosting the quest you want.

    If you are calling GAME in Liffey Valley can you ask them if they have the Wii Component Cables.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭tonydude


    Sry venom ill be calling Gamestop in Cork, do those cables make a difference in quality, the wii is very poor in qualtiy compared to the ps3 which im so use to. I should have spoken the the guy in Gamestop at the weekend about the bundle ,saw a poster and all, i even went up to enquire about the speak. If it €60 its a bargain.

    They help if you have a HDTV, as you can output in 480p which is better for upscaling.
