Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Wii U Has Region Locked Multiplayer, So NA & EU Can’t Play Together

It was Capcom’s decision not Nintendo’s. I honestly don’t get why companies keep wanting to region lock servers, I have a lot of friends in Europe that i want to play with :C.

Jet Force Gemini revolves around the Jet Force Gemini team attempting to defeat the evil leader Mizar and his horde of Drones. Jet Force Gemini is composed of three main characters: Juno, a taciturn, somewhat melancholy human male whose parents were killed by space pirates that invaded his home station; Vela, Juno’s feisty twin sister; and Lupus, Jet Force Gemini’s wardog mascot.[1] The game begins with the three characters in orbit around the planet Goldwood after barely escaping the destruction of the entire Jet Force fleet at the hands of Mizar. Their ship however, had suffered extraordinary damage, leaving them defenseless and unable to warp out of the system. It is not long before the team witnesses Mizar’s attack on Goldwood, and soon afterwards, their cruiser is attacked by a large craft of Mizar’s known as the Spawnship. Boarded by drones and out of time, the three decide to abandon the ship and go off on their own separate paths to stop the invasion.[2]

As the game progresses, the heroes eventually find themselves reunited at Mizar’s Palace—and face to face with Mizar himself. However, Mizar, enraged and vowing revenge on the human race, escapes to a nearby asteroid where he sets course to impact with Earth. King Jeff, the beloved leader of the Tribals, quickly arranges a plan to help the heroes: by providing an ancient starship that can quickly catch up to Mizar’s asteroid. Nevertheless, the team needs to locate several vital parts scattered throughout the galaxy, as well as rescue all the Tribals enslaved by Mizar. Also, King Jeff upgrades the heroes with new armor and jet packs that allow them to fly. From this point on, the team stays united and, together, works to search every world for anything they can find.[2]

After all the Tribals are rescued and the parts found, the team, along with King Jeff, reassembles the old Tribal craft and quickly depart to save Earth. After a rough landing, Juno fights through Mizar’s guards and eventually confronts the tyrant. Mizar does not go down easily this time, but indeed after a long struggle, Juno does defeat him. To the surprise of all though, Mizar is revealed to be a robot controlled by King Jeff’s jealous brother, Barry. After realizing destroying Barry’s robot ruined their best chance of destroying the asteroid, the team is out of options. In an honorable notion, Floyd, the quiet little robot that defected from Mizar and followed the team, offers to sacrifice himself to destroy the asteroid. Hesitantly, the team agrees and attaches a timed warhead to Floyd before sending him into the core. With no time to spare, the team returns to the Tribal craft and departs only seconds before Floyd reaches the core. In a brilliant flash of light, the asteroid is destroyed mere miles away from entering the atmosphere of Earth. Afterwards on Earth, Jet Force Gemini is given the highest honors for their many accomplishments.[2]

I just hope we get voice chat as a compensation, at least now we know that whoever we speak to online speaks the region’s majority language, in NA it would be english. Can’t wait to play with those french speaking Quebec players.

PING anyone?

I see nothing bad in this decision….

Most of them are able to speak English, but the only native-ones are people from UK. Europe is a Tower of Babel, but amazing and wonderful place.

Yeah, and not a lot of people complained about it then. But I guess now it’s okay to complain about something that was to be expected from a port in this day and age…

You ever feel like gamers act like they’re entitled to every little thing, even if it’s something they thought up because it was recently brought up? Next thing you know, they’ll be asking for the game on a silver platter and having the in-game characters serve them like butlers. (¬_¬)

Can’t wait for this game :) Gettin 3DS and Wiiu version.

Too late to release in time on Wii U now. It would take way too long in the rating process, production and advertising.

Well, just like everything Capcom does, they already fucking sold it, so why would they give a shit -__- re-release galore with good old Capcom. Someone needs to punch Svensson square in the jaw.

I think most of us were hoping they’d realise it was stupid and changed it.

Agree, I will probably start to “hate” people who talks Spanish even more. I mean, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get some of them to talk anything other than Spanish, even on English sites I have seen Spanish-speakers talking nothing but Spanish.

No offense towards people who speaks Spanish, but it gets annoying when people try to tell you something but you can not understand them as they refuses to learn/speak the international language that is pretty much required to visit internet.

And I do not look forward to talking to kids who have not learned English yet. Hopefully there will be many Swedes, would be nice talking Swedish with someone online though :)

American children?? Try British children… -__-

I is real Nintenlord. You believe me right?

I think this is a mistake and the versions that where suposed to be lock where the japanese 1.

I is real Nintenlord. You believe me right?

So there’s no guarantee that this region locking is absolute?
