Transfer Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate save data with 3DS app

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate lets you take the progress you’ve made in the 3DS version and bring it to the Wii U game. Series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto explained how the process works while speaking with IGN.

3DS users will be able to download an application on their home menus. Once you boot it up, simply press a button and the rest will happen automatically. Everything should work as long as the wireless switch is turned on – an Internet connection isn’t needed.

Tsujimoto said:

“You can think of it as just one save data that both systems are sharing.”

Tsujimoto additionally said that he hopes Capcom will be able to “appeal to two very different types of playing styles” by bringing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate to the 3DS and Wii U.

“One of the things we’re trying to emphasise is that because it’s on two platforms, we’re actually trying to appeal to two very different types of playing styles. There are people who want to play outside with the 3DS version, and also people who want to play at home online; hopefully we can hit both of those audiences at the same time. There will of course also be people who will want both versions. We’re really hoping that because of the strategy that we have with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate we will be able to reach out to a greater range of fans.”
