Capcom has confirmed that the Wii U version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will have a software update released for it roughly a month after its March 19 release.  The company states that the update is in response to community feedback. 

The software update will add online cross-region functionality, allowing North American and European gamers to play together online in up to four-player battles.  Wii U owners will also be able to play the game using just the Wii U GamePad without the need for a TV screen as the software update makes the title compatible with off-TV play. 

Furthermore, Capcom says they will be continuing to support Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for several months after release with additional free-of-charge downloadable quests.  The first of these quests will be available at launch.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate releases across North America on March 19, 2013 for both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, at retail as well as in the Nintendo eShop.  The ESRB has rated this title as "T for Teen".
