ONE FOR THE MOHUNBROS: CAPCOM DETAIL 3DS/WII U CROSSPLAY IN MONSTER HUNTER 3 ULTIMATE
Suddenly officially the Wii U game I’m looking forward to most, Capcom’s just released this ultra-adorable video explaining the cross-play features of its upcoming Monster Hunter Tri overhaul, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, which will allow players of both the 3DS and Wii U versions to use their same characters to play at home or away.
While 3DS play will be limited to local multiplayer only, the new hunting companions explain, 3DS users can use the platformer as controllers for the Wii U version, or play online with other Wii U owners.
If you’re still one of the way too many uninitiated Monster Hunter fanatics, March 2013 should probably be the date to wait for as it’s released for both platforms: longtime fans will otherwise be fully aware of just how incredible the series is at capturing both the essence of adventure and the minutiae of a drawn-out, exhausting hunt against an intelligent, brutal and ridiculously oversized foe.

When Monster Hunter 3G came out for 3DS in Japan I was majorly disappointed that it didn’t have a UK release but if they had to sacrifice that to release two versions of Ultimate with these kind of features, it was definitely for the best.
In other words, I cannot bloody wait to play this game.
This is the best thing ever. We’ll finally have a great excuse to rekindle the #mohunbros
