The Wii U really is a new Frontier for how they could make monster hunter. With the Wii U I hear they plan to have the inventory and map on the gamepad if you use it, and probably an option to use that screen like you would on a psp with everything on it. However this opens the option of having 2 or more people playing on one Wii U by rending the game for the main char on the TV and forcing the other players to use the screen controller having the single display. They would of course be rendered on eachother screens but they all have their own displays.

I have no idea if the Wii U hardware can support rendering more than 1 area at a time for multiplayer but sacrificing graphics for letting a friend play is a valid sacrifice.
