The 3DS version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate only supports local multiplayer, but an application known as the Packet Relay Tools was recently launched in Japan which allows gamers to take the hunt online via the Wii or Wii U LAN Adapter. Nintendo has now confirmed that the app will be coming to Europe as well, and will be available to download from the eShop on March 22nd, the European launch day for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Here's the official word from the Big N:
We can confirm that on March 22nd, the launch day of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, an application named MONSTER HUNTER 3 ULTIMATE Packet Relay Tools for Nintendo 3DS will be made available as a free download on the Nintendo eShop on Wii U.
This application allows players of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Nintendo 3DS to play the game online by using a Wii U console connected to the Internet via the Wii LAN Adapter or Wii U LAN Adapter (to be sold separately). Using this set-up, one Nintendo 3DS system can connect to the Wii U console, and play Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate online with other players.
Please note that while the Wii U console is providing this function for the Nintendo 3DS system, it is not possible to simultaneously use the Wii U console for playing Wii U software or to connect locally to another Nintendo 3DS system. A copy of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for Wii U is not required.
Nintendo has not confirmed if the Packet Relay Tools will be released in North America. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has been available in Japan since December 10th, 2012, and is scheduled for release in North America on March 19th, 2013.
