Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Wii U goes Full HD, supports 5.1 surround sound

It seems that video game studios and developers are surely doing their best to make sure that the gaming experience which users enjoy will be on par with even some of the best shot movies. Of course, the realism level when it comes to graphics cannot compare to that of an actual human, but CGI technology has definitely come a long way since the days of Pong. Audio, however, gets close to the real deal with each bone crunching punch delivered, or the roaring breath of a monster coming right at you full of rage. Famitsu claims that the Nintendo Wii U version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will be able to support 1080p high-definition and linear PCM 5.1-channel surround sound, now how about that for a little touch of class?

Not only that, you will also be able to make use of the Nintendo 3DS version’s bottom screen panel function in tandem with the Wii U GamePad. Internet multiplayer will also be part of the package, but if you can get three other like-minded folks with a 3DS, why not play locally? Your save data can be shared between the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U versions, thanks to a free app data migration application. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is starting to shape up to be a winner even before it is released.
