Thought you’d never see a Monster Hunter game outside of Japan again? Well, think again, because it has just been confirmed that Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, an enhanced version of the Wii’s Monster Hunter Tri, will see a western release on both the Wii U and 3DS consoles. The Wii U version will feature online multiplayer with the ability to transfer save data between the two versions. Finally the 3DS has transfarring!

The 3DS version, known as Monster Hunter Tri G in Japan, was initially released in Japan a year ago, but both versions of the game should be available in the US and Europe in March 2013.
