Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Wii U 3

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is coming to North America on the 19th of March and Europe on the 22nd of March, and from the first day the game’s available, there’ll also be a patch that’s available. This patch will add support for both voice and keyboard-based chat via a USB connection.

    Does that mean i have to buy a keyboard and headset with mic????????? :O

    • Scoot

      Eh no,you can use either both or them alone
      I’ll be using both cause typing and talking
      Is awesomeness

    • Josh

      can’t you just use the gamepad to type?

    • TheWichi

      I think you sould be able to use the gamepad to type AND to talk

    • Scoot

      Yes,but i already have a usb keyboard and its kidda slow typing with the gamepad.

    Teez, sweet. :D

    I kinda figured it’d be in it, but, if it didn’t, I might not of played this… okay, yes… yes I would have… But it would have been boring…
    I hate not talking to people about random things…

    reading this i just realized you cant chat at anytime on the wii u. omg really? why?

    • Ziggy

      ???

      when my brother use to play the xbox with people or friends, all you had to do is start a party, then you pretty much can talk to anyone in the party. it doesnt matter if you were watching netflix, in the main menu, or anything. i dont know if it matters what the other xbox is doing either.

      and if this isnt true since i personally never chatted since im not going to pay $60 just for my own account to play online but im sure it is true, i dont know why nintendo didnt do this with the wii u. i mean come on they supposed to be about games but at the same time, they treat games so badly. they barely even have online anything. nintendo is not being about games anymore.

      uh…. What does that have to do with Nintendo not being about games thats all they are…. Just because the Xbox has a feature that makes it unique doesnt mean Nintendo will pull a microsoft and do something similar besides online is only 1/3 of the game
      2/3 is what actually matters :1
      hi im Nice Ness nice to meet u

    • Hybrilynx

      the best part about games, is playing with someone else.

    • Omarsonic9

      So you HAVE to connect online to play with someone else?
      No you don’t.

    • Hybrilynx

      winning isnt everything and isnt even fun.

    • Omarsonic9

      What does winning have to do with online?
      You can play with your friends or family ON THE SAME CONSOLE.
      and you don’t have to ALWAYS win.

      Winning IS fun, but ALWAYS winning is boring.

    • Nice Ness

      besides what does that truely have to add to a game? Maybe the social experience but even then…. Still doesnt add much

      voice chat is put into games by the developer which means you cant do the same thing you can do with an xbox.

      *looks at phone* I’m good.
      *looks at laptop* I’m good.

      . . . yeah i don’t see how this is a real problem.

  • hung gamer

    its just adding qwerty pc keyboard support nothing to write home about, you can use the gamepad already commonsense guys

    Coolness, despite the fact that all I’d probably hear is grunts, cries, and yells that are completely incoherent according to my vocabulary

    • BellaKazza

      At least you won’t hear cussing 12 year olds!

      Haha yeah, true words.

    Guessing usb only related to the keyboard, and I won’t be able to use my USB mic, since the gamepad has one built in.

    I got a Wii U head set at Target for only $20. It works perfectly with all voice chat in abled Wii U games. It has the Nintendo Seal of approval.
