Really can't decide which system to get it on. First, anyway. I'd like both at some point.

If the demo is for both systems, maybe playing through it will help me decide.

I plan on getting this game, but I've never played a Monster Hunter game before. Super glad a demo is releasing.

The demo is indeed available for both Wii U and 3DS.

For me there's really no point in buying the 3DS version, as I play on my 3DS exactly where I play on my PC or consoles as well, so online, a proper controller and the big screen make it an easy choice. I'll try the demo of the 3DS version too though, just out of curiosity.

Speaking of which, I'm glad a demo is available for both systems to give people who might be interested a chance to try the game. That said, I don't think Monster Hunter is very suited for demos, as it's really more of a learning experience especially during the first few hours of the games. Being thrown into a fierce battle without all that preparation and early experience might put off some people but then again it might also give others a taste of something they end up liking enough to get the game. It all depends on how Capcom handled the 'beginner' quest, though.

I really like the trailer in this news post. That should be an advert on TV. Anyone remember the hilarious advert for Monster Hunter Tri back in 2010? Smilie
