Ryozo Tsujimoto, producer of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, has explained how the Wii U and 3DS versions of the game will interact with each other. As previously revealed, players will need to download a special app onto their 3DS in order to transfer save data between the handheld and the Wii U, allowing players to play the game at home or on the go. Here is some of the new information Tsujimoto had to share:

Tsujimoto: “We wanted people to play together. We know there are some people who want to play online. Unfortunately with the 3DS version you can’t do that. But we have made this feature so you can play together. You can have your friends bring their save data to your house and have a Monster Hunter party. One person will play on the big screen and three other people will play with their 3DS versions. People can continue their save data from what they had before and go back home and update their data on their Wii U.”

As for the question as to why the 3DS version does not support online play, Tsujimoto explained that the team looked into it but felt it would not be up to their standards, detracting from the experience and lowering the quality of the game.

Tsujimoto: “To put it frankly, when we were developing the game we were looking into it but there were some places we were unsure about. We didn’t have the correct techniques to get it to work. We decided we probably shouldn’t release something that didn’t work well. We didn’t want to lower the quality of the game.”
