Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will launch simultaneously on Nintendo 3DS and Wii U on March 22, 2013, in Europe, both at retail and as an eShop digital download.

A free trial version will be available more than a month earlier on February 21 from the eShop of both systems. This demo will include a Beginner-level mission to take down the Lagombi and an Advanced-level quest against the underwater Plesioth, along with 12 different weapons to choose from.

The latest instalment in Capcom franchise, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is an enhanced remake of Wii release Monster Hunter Tri, which originally saw release in 2010. It features cross-platform multiplayer between the 3DS and Wii U versions, and enables players to transfer their save data from one system to another.
