The demo set me up with a healthy supply of traps, potions and whetstones. I took a deep breath and accepted the 9-star quest, "Howl at the Moon." So when I stepped up for my turn on the Wii U, I did what any proud gamer would do. If you chose anything below a 9-star quest, the hecklers were quick to unleash a barrage of jeers. Hunters gathered to cheer (and heckle) other hunters. And it wasn't just to check out the Wii U. While some gamers lined up to compete in Darkstalkers Resurrection, the Capcom crowd gravitated towards the Monster Hunter section. Typically, Capcom, known for its fighting games, has one of the wilder fan booths (second only to Ubisoft's Just Dance booth). In my first twenty-minute experience with the Wii U version of the action-RPG, I was able to step into the mind of a true hunter, both through my own travails against the giant Zinogre, and through the crowd of Monster Hunter devotees that surrounded the booth.%Gallery-168141%Capcom gave gamers the chance to play Ultimate on the Wii U in twenty-minute blocks. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, an upgraded version of Monster Hunter Tri coming to the Wii U and 3DS, made its American debut at New York Comic-Con.
