Europe - In shops and on Nintendo eShop now: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Sound the horn and prepare for a battle you’ll never forget! Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is now available across Europe for both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

In this action RPG, each monster you fell can be carved for vital resources, used to craft more powerful weapons and stronger armour. Steel yourself for the vicious battles ahead with thousands of new armour pieces and weapons, including the return of the Bow, Dual Blades, and more. Every victory brings you closer to the honour of being called the “ultimate hunter”.

Experience a lengthy single-player story filled with heart-stopping action, or put together a team of skilled and well-equipped hunters in multiplayer. Join forces to take down enormous monsters in quests that are sure to hone your hunting skills and forge strong bonds between you and your fellow hunters.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has the same spectacular monsters, challenging quests and impressive equipment on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, but each version boasts unique features too. Play on Wii U for online play and stunning high-definition graphics, and take all the compelling action on-the-go with Nintendo 3DS to team up with nearby friends in Local Play and swap Guild Cards via StreetPass.

You can even connect the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions to take your game to the next level. If you own the game on both formats, you can transfer your save data between the two versions to battle in HD on Wii U before heading out on the road with Nintendo 3DS.

You can also connect one Wii U console to up to three Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL systems, letting you all do battle together as a fearsome hunting party! Alternatively, download the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Packet Relay Tools for Nintendo 3DS application for free from the Nintendo eShop on Wii U in order to play the game online on your Nintendo 3DS, via a Wii U console connected to the Internet*.
