User blog comment:Pink Fatalis/Poll: MH3U is coming to the USA and Europe! Which version will you be buying?/@comment-1408615-20130228042403

I'm getting both versions.

As a parent I can't get out of the house very often to hunt with my friends over LAN, so having the option to connect with them through the online servers helps and I get to make new friends in the process. As an American I've always prefered the consoles for that reason. You just can't grab you portable and go to a MH LAN party every weekend and meet tons of new people to hunt with here in the US; there's just too much ground to cover and not enough public transit to cover it in.

The 3ds version will be nice for 2 reasons. 1. It will let me hunt with my husband or my oldest son and 2. it will allow me to take my save file and go. All in all the 3ds version is mostly for my husband. I have an abnormally long neck so playing portable systems really hurts and I end up with week long neck/back aches and migranes that last all day if I use them. So, it's REALLY great that with Ultimate we get to  choose which system we want with relatively no reprecussions.
