by online i believe you are referring to a network by which hunters from farther than your block or household can join your city and vise versa to quest.. well in that case yes it is true that mh3g has no formal network to play from but you still need internet to download new quest content and your 3ds still communicates with the world around you but there is no simple server based online. you can still play with people who are.. say.. in the same room as you or are within i think around 500 yards of your person but connecting from D.C. to L.A. no... however, that's not to say that should japan localize this game there wouldn't be some way of connecting to another 3ds from a long distance... maybe capcom will develop a network.. that's not very likely though but with the ONLINE capabilities of the 3ds itself there might be a way to ad-hoc similar to the psp... after all... the 3ds DOES have codes and resident evil mercenaries worked that way.... only time will tell.
