there is acutally a keyboard for DS which also works for 3DS. or simple just using the touchscreen. so much for that. the mainreason why the 3ds version have no onlinemode is because so the wiiu version have something more then the 3ds version. so ppl buy the wiiu version. especially in japan. if they would add an onlinemode for 3ds outside of japan, I guess the japanese fans, which are way more important to the mh francise, would get angry. also it would cost money and capcom is not rly known for being not cheap. perhabs also nintendo told them so. they probably dont care bout the game then more bout the fact ppl going to buy wiiu. wiiu with mh3g hd in japan for launch will make good sells for it. for the ppl in japan which dont like mh there is still the dragon quest beta in the premium pack. The same reason is also in europe, australia and na. If ppl have the choice between buying a 150 dollar 3DS with a 50 dollar game and a 300 dollar wiiu with a 60 dollar game, they would probably but the 3DS version. But since we know just wiiu version have onlinemode, this wont happen so often. maybe some sony fans which w8 since 3rd. which are going to buy 3ds with mh3u. with this they are kinda "forced" to buy mh4 when it comes. So in the end why 3ds version have no onlinemode is just because wiiu needs lots of sells.
