Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate: App Delayed



Hello everyone! On behalf of Fair Play Gaming, I apologize emphatically for our sporadic articles. You can tell I'm sorry, we're using long words! On a serious note, we're back and better than ever! Without further ado, let's tear in.

You may or may not be familiar with the Monster Hunter franchise. If you're Japanese, you were no doubt born with a Lagiacrus tattoo on your bottom. If you're from anywhere else, perhaps not so much. It's a huge earner in its native Japan, but other countries never really caught the fever.  But this latest installment may have changed that. Released for both the 3DS and the Wii U, this title looks to contain the classic monster hunting, weapon crafting madness. But they haven't had the best of starts.

The data relay app, which allowed shared saved between the Wii U and 3DS versions, has been pushed back. Not only that, but the packet relay tool has also been delayed. The tool is currently the only method of connecting online via the handheld 3DS, using the Wii U as a router of sorts. They're expecting to be released on March 22nd, to coincide with the European release.

This is a major disappointment, I would imagine, for Monster Hunter fans overseas. The transfer of saves in particular was a huge selling point, and fans who bought the game would be left only with disappointment. Fortunatly, this problem will not affect us in the UK. I'll still be buying the game on its release tomorrow, and reviewing it as soon as completion permits. Until then!
