Statistics aside, though, what actually is Monster Hunter? Well, it's a series of games developed by Capcom in which players must take on several large monsters for the sheer fun of it.


This makes Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate one of the biggest games in the series, with the total of large monsters reaching an impressive number of fifty-one! Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is an expanded port of the Wii exclusive Monster Hunter Tri, and whilst some of the content is the same, there is also a plethora of new monsters, weapons and armours, and it even brings back four of the weapon types which were seen in previous games. However, a surprise announcement at Nintendo's Wii U event in September 2012 made it clear that fans in the West could rejoice and start the hunt on both Nintendo platforms in 2013, with the renamed Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

Back in December of 2011, Monster Hunter 3G was released as a 3DS exclusive in Japan, but it didn't seem set to launch in Western territories, especially since the PSP's Monster Hunter Portable 3rd never made it over.
