I'd definitely reccomend it for newcomers, it's the most accessible game in the series, giving you nice armor and every weapon type to start with, and the game gets really good once you get into it. So long as you can stick it out and get used to the different mechanics in the beginning, you'll definitely be rewarded with one of the best and most addicting games out there.
Also, you don't really lose anything in the core game from not getting both versions, the 3DS one is more for playing on the go (which is insanely useful during school by the way :/ ) and with friends locally. It should be noted that only the Wii U version has Online play, which is really well done for the most part, but aside from that the versions are essentially identical.
You can also transfer save files between the two, so you can play as the same hunter on the Wii U and the 3DS.
Oh, and just so you know, the Demos don't quite do the games justice. The real fun comes from selecting your target, finding him, then destroying him so you can carve his flesh and bones into badass weapons and armor so you can slay even more of his brethren >:D
