I agree with the whole 3ds not needing online thing but that's for a whole different reason.. IF they so choose to they could likely get mh3u to have better online then tri did because the hardware CAN support yet the hardware has yet to be used to the specifications I imagine they would need and to do so now would only further push the game's release later and I don't think any of us want that.

Another point to note here is that mh3u has been all but confirmed to be running on nintendo's network meaning capcom pays nothing and does nothing to keep the game running and monitored sans any updates/dlcs capcom wishes to add to it so with that considered they COULD put online on the 3ds version without a problem except that most of us will be pissed if march 2013 comes around and they delay us to may.. The hardware isn't the problem nor is the cost. the SOFTWARE is the problem.
