Both Nintendo and Capcom have today confirmed that Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U is set to hit both Australian and New Zealand shores on the 23rd March 2013 – both through the Nintendo eShop via Digital Download and through your regular physical copies on store shelves. Players who purchase both editions will be able to transfer their own personal save data between versions, aiming to ensure a seamless continuation from the HD experience at home to while you are out and about and have a few minutes (or hours) to spare.
The world of Monster Hunter can be experienced alone or in local multiplayer for up to four players on Nintendo 3DS, while Wii U players will be able to form hunting parties of up to four players online or enjoy the hunt with Nintendo 3DS players via a local wireless connection. Wii U owners will also be able to make use of the built-in GamePad microphone to chat with their online hunting party.
In addition, anyone eager to experience a slice of the unique gameplay the series is famous for will be able to get their hands on a free demo for each version through Nintendo eShop from 21st of February. Featuring one Beginner and one Advanced singleplayer quest, the demos let players choose from 12 weapons as they gear up to tackle Lagombi and Plesioth.
