I don't think 3DS could maintain an online mode of MH. MH has a great amount of data that needs to be transferred. Remember Tri when you fought two big monster in the same time in the same room? It lagged quite hard even if you have a rather good internet connection. And if Wii has problems with this how could the 3DS handle this?

Of course there is the option to have a "helper" to get good online access - like Xlink Kai or PS3 adhoc party for PSP - but that would be the WiiU and then why not just buy the game on it with online?

These are only my thoughts. Could be that I'm completely wrong with the 3DS internet. ^^'
