It isn't pretty, but gamers will finally be able to take the 3DS version of the game online.
Online play is coming to Monster Hunter 3 (tri) G, known as Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate in the West, for the NIntendo 3DS in Japan. To enable the online connection for the 3DS version of the game, players will first need to purchase a special LAN adapter for their Wii U. From there, they will need download a special application on the Wii U that will allow the 3DS version of the game to be playable online. The application is limited to one player per Wii U.
There is currently no word if this method of online connection will appear in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate in the West.
