Monster Hunter Frontier G is being ported to the Wii U. Frontier G is an online-only version of Monster Hunter 2 with additional content added.

The game's service will become available in Japan on November 20 for Wii U, and players will be able to take part in a free beta test for a week before the game releases.

Producer Kazunori Sugiura stated that they're "discussing something fun that [they] could do with the Wii U GamePad or Nintendo 3DS." The MMO-style game originally launched for the PC in 2007, and there is currently no word on whether or not the game will release outside of Japan.

For a second I thought this was the Chinese Monster Hunter that runs on Crytek 3, but nope this is a different Monster Hunter that is a full blown MMO.

It is.  I've watched a couple episodes of a Podcast about this one and it is different.  Same basic concept but much more complex.
