Both playable demos of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate are now available for download via the Nintendo eShop for both the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS.
In the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate demo, players will have an opportunity to give the game a try before it comes out this March 19th. The demo will feature two full quests, one for beginner players and another for immediate players. Expect to fight two boss fights; the fierce Lagombi and the aquatic Plesioth.
In Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, players take on the role of a hunter sent to explore a settlement within the Monster Hunter universe, completing quests on their journey to seek and slay monsters while improving their skills and earning equipment upgrades. With many challenging monsters and over 200 quests, the latest addition to the series is set to be the most expansive offering to date. The game can be played alone and offers a bevy of multiplayer set-up options: online (up to four players) on the Wii U system, or locally using up to four Nintendo 3DS systems or a combination of up to three Nintendo 3DS systems and one Wii U system.

This is NOT an easy game for beginners, go into it like a generic hack and slash and you will likely get stomped.
Also, the demo itself doesn’t really teach you how to play (it seems designed more for people who have played the series before) so you should read up on the manual if you are having trouble figuring out the controls (Home button -> Manual button on touch screen).
