We’ve learned at Tokyo Game Show that if you buy Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on both Wii U and 3DS, you’ll be able to use the same savegame for both versions, taking your progress with you wherever you go. But how exactly will that work?
Series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto explained to IGN today that you’ll have to download a small, separate app for 3DS in order to make the transfer. You’ll just have to launch the app and press a button – it all happens wirelessly, you don’t need an Internet connection, and it doesn’t take long. “You can think of it as just one save data that both systems are sharing,” he said.
Tsujimoto also hopes that this dual-platform strategy will help Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate reach the biggest possible number of fans. “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,” he says.
“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.”
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will be out in the West on 3DS and Wii U in early 2013.
