Wired: "The Monster Hunter series is a Japanese phenomenon, and to prove it, there was just no way to play Monster Hunter 3 for the Wii unless you had the patience for hour-long waits, and that was during the business days.
Luckily for us, Capcom organized play sessions for foreign media in a room at the nearby New Otani hotel. Having played it, I think it's safe to say that it will remain a game experience that pleases fans, but won't attract new ones."
