"News: we're working on a software update to add Cross-Region online and Off-TV play for the Wii U version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate! (thanks to community feedback!)

Cross-Region Servers: Said update will come post-launch (sometime in April) and it will merge both North American and European servers into one big network for all western hunters out there. This is happening solely because you communicated your thoughts very loud and clear - and it made sense ;)

Just to be clear, the online component of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is totally free - but you knew that already, right? Speaking of free, MH3U will have steady post-launch support with free DLC quests going live almost every week for quite some time. (The first DLC quests will be available at launch, and I'm already working on getting the full schedule, btw)

Off-TV play: Adding more to the good news package, the update will also give you the ability to play Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate solely on the Wii U GamePad screen, with the Off-TV support. This was one of the first requests I heard when we announced the game, and I'm glad we can finally deliver upon it.

So look out for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate as it hits the shelves on March 19 (North America) and March 22 (Europe), with a day-1 digital release on the Nintendo eShop for both territories!"

I am so, so happy, especially about the Off TV part! Finally I can dedicate as much time as I would like and whenever I want to play MH, and not only when the TV is unoccupied.

Thank you Capcom!

Cross Region online should be a standard!

Same with Off-TV Play.

Nice they are adding these features regardless.

Either who bring MH4 to the Wii U and im sold.

Monster Hunter Tri is a game that needs off TV play based on how long it is.

Good news, but Monster Hunter still isn't my cup of tea.

Huzzah, for cross region.

I won't be using off TV that often, maybe if I want to watch streamed Starcraft matches or something.

One thing that sucks about being a Japanese gamer (you had to pay for online for MH3 on Wii). I wonder if they make the Japanese pay for MH3U online?
