Moving data between platforms and enabling 3DS online play will have to wait a few days.

With a lengthy flight to and from Boston in my immediate future, I was looking forward to transferring my Dual Blades-wieldin’ assassin, Detta, from my Wii U to my 3DS.

That’s not to be.

Capcom's revealed two applications meant to launch with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate have been delayed until Friday, March 22.

The “data transfer program” is what allows saved data to move between both versions of the game, perfect for hunting and gathering during a commute, while the “packet relay tool” is what allows 3DS users to play online using the Wii U as a conduit. Otherwise, only local play is possible on the handheld.

“We sincerely apologize for the delay and appreciate that eager fans are looking forward to the feature set offered by the two apps,” said the company on its community site, Capcom Unity.

Ah well. I guess I’ll...read.
