Capcom Reminds Monster Hunter Fans About 3DS And Wii U Online Shut Down

.....and everyone else is reminding them to port the damn games to switch! (...well most of them are asking for PC and other consoles because they all hate the Switch for whatever reason, but still. >.>)

Pretendo Network is ready.

@Joeynator3000 Id love a Switch port of MH3U. GU on Switch is better than MHG on 3DS, so not worried there. And MH4U I’ve had my complete fill of playing for over 2k hours, but it would be a nice port for anyone that missed it.

If they port MH3U I could only pray they rework the underwater sections to be more forgiving on controls, as well as not completely wrecking the Bow, lol.

Would be ultra amazing if they remastered it to the point of including the MHGU Styles and Arts….

And that's why building the whole DLC purchase functionality strictly into the game itself isn't a great idea after all. 3DS is a fantastic machine but some of its service aspects certainly won't be missed... unlike the content whose [conventional] access options fell prey to them.

@nhSnork This wasn't exclusively a thing with the 3DS. The same thing happened with Mega Man Powered Up on the PSP, which lost a good bit of offline content when its servers went down a couple years back. Luckily, it was all preserved by the community, and I don't even think you need to hack the PSP to get it (you just import a blank save from the internet, and you're good), so its not hard to get, but it's pretty much the exact same scenario as the Monster Hunter content, at least from what I know.

Thankfully after 5 months of monster hunter marathon online gameplay I have done as much as I could. 300 hours on MH3U WiiU and 200 hours MH4U 3DS! (These days i play arena quests). I wish the servers didn't shut down,It's very disappointing, because I haven't had enough of the games yet and I would like to play them more. Only mhgen I played 20 hours, I didn't have the strength to continue.

Can't even connect to download section keep getting error message

Online still works with other players but error when i try to get in download section any1 else have this problem?

Ah yes, Nintendo reminding Monster Hunter players it's okay to pirate the games now

@Tasuki I think you may be ok, based on the link below (see 'Will it still be possible to download update data or purchased software?' ) but might be worth downloading your games/dlc sooner rather than later https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Support/Nintendo-3DS-2DS/Connecting-to-the-Internet/Announcement-of-Discontinuation-of-Online-Services-for-Nintendo-3DS-and-Wii-U-Software-2455285.html

I hope fans will do fan servers for those games

Is really sad to see all those really cool collabs in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate get lost. The Isabell costume and the Super Mario Bros boss event... i will miss them. 😢

my 3DS was Hack Monster Hunter Generation and input all cheat Max money , 99x item , Rush all boss with 1 hit , and able bring my save to my Nintendo Switch ( no hack )buy MH ultimate ( as long is US )

@Chibi_Manny

the Mario bros got me really hard laughing and my Wife, did not expect that they do it as well.
Thought it will be just two apes

@SearchingS

You must be so proud.

@Tasuki
The eShop's staying for redownloads of games + eShop DLC.

Some games like Monster Hunter had extra free downloads from the developer though, not going through the eShop (mostly it was Capcom/Level5/Dragon Quest) - e.g. Monster Hunter's 'DLC' was downloading files directly from Capcom.
Those ones would have to be downloaded in the next few days.

@bluesun Yet i can't for some reason and can't find any solution. Wrote to capcom will see what they have to say. Just error error ....

Wow, that headline photo is nearly a decade old!

Remember the days when the biggest question for 3DS owners was which of the three MH titles they wanted to play? Talk about an abundance of riches.

@Joeynator3000 I think that the reason most people are asking to port the games to other platforms isn't because they don't like the switch, but because the games being on multiple platforms will help preserve the games more easily.

I personally would love for the games to be ported to switch, but I would love it even more if they were also ported to PC. That way, when the Switchs online services inevitably shutdown, the games online functions have a better chance of still being available and preserved.

For now, I'm just going to wait for the MH games to be playable with Pretendo ever since Capcom hasn't shown any interest yet in porting them to anything.

@iaLgan Had you already downloaded the DLCs before the eShop closed?

@Rodolfo6493 Yes but i don't know if i have downloaded all of them

I have lot's downloaded and still have them in my save file just it's been long time since i played it and maybe im missing some yet to be downloaded. Now checked i don't have like hyper gold rathian dlc for example.

I thought it was not possible to download DLC for any Wii U or 3DS game? For a while now?

Most of my MH games are played on Switch currently but still having 3DS version around is still something I keep for now.
