GAME Doubles Up On Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Get both the 3DS and Wii U versions for a slightly reduced price in the UK

by Damien McFerran Mon 28th Jan 2013

As you probably know, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is launching on two Nintendo systems this year - the 3DS and the Wii U.

While the Wii U version offers online play, the 3DS edition has that all-important portable factor - something we can imagine is causing many potential buyers headaches as they decide which one to go for.

Thankfully, UK retailer GAME has your back - it has announced that it will be selling both titles in a bundle set.

At the time of writing the GAME site is down for maintenance, but we can tell you that buying both games separately would set you back £73, while the bundle is being sold for £70.

Yeah right a new Wii U game in GAME for less than £50 with new 3DS games at £39.99.
If it truly is £70 I'll be very surprised.
If so its a nice £20 saving

wiiU version all the way.

This games concept absolutely shines with its online co-op play. They are great games and all, but it's the online multiplayer that really makes it come alive.

@Pinkspider.

Nope, they were selling the versions separately for a total of £73.
(Wiiu version, £40, 3DS version £33).

Still, I'm sure I could get them cheaper elsewhere, and don't want both either.

I've been really hoping we get a bundle by at least one retailer here in Australia, because I'll definitely be getting both either way.

A further £5 discount is available with the coupon “SVOOJAN13″. Still provably worth shopping around if you're interested in getting both though.

You will probably be able to get both on Amazon for £60 without a bundle offer

Even though I don't have a Wii U yet I would get this unless the 3DS version gets a good 3DS XL bundle.

That's like a 5 dollar difference
If you're going to have a discount, at least make it worthwhile.

@gavn64 Trust me, it's going to make it even more annoying when you know who won the Rumble match, haha; I'm not going to spoil that though.

Back on topic, I'm looking forward to some kind of bundle for both here as well because I want both.

I'm waiting for a limited edition a la Tri style. Hopefully they will announce it within the next month or so. Chances are that I'll download both

I feel bad because I like to support the genre but, I think I'll be skipping both of these games... even though I would get MH4 for 3DS if they localize that in the future. There are just too many great games coming out this year, and a guy has to spend his money wisely in this day and age!
