I better not be the only one picking it up tomorrow.
So I tried the demo and I found the Axe and Shield combo to be very nifty. I still haven't been able to beat Qurupeco, even with it. Fucking Rathian and the time limit mess me up.

However, the lance is sooooo good. I love how it feels. It's just, right.
I pre-ordered the Wii Speak bundle, so if any of you guys want to listen to my smexy (sore throat) voice I hope we can get online and show our gear.
