The latest issue of gaming magazine EDGE features an article in which a small sentence not only hints at a western release for Monster Hunter Tri G, but also at the added inclusion of an online play mode.
Note that there is no official statement from Capcom concerning the addition of an online feature or even a localisation as of now, so this is still to be treated merely as rumours. Still: Let the speculation begin!
i hope the online mode will be inclueded because im too lazy to meet with 3 friends at 1 place just to farm together >_> i already bought the Slide pad pro and i like the design it reminds me of that one gadget in Digimon advantures 2. it even fits my pocket so i never putt it off. I already used to it.

They say it's better to play with the slidepad, but that damn thing just makes it look awkward to press the standard buttons with it attached.

Still haven't had one in my hands, but I read it is in fact quite comfortable, and a sheer necessity for MH3G.
It's lovely, and it makes you hold the 3DS like a console controller, so you don't really need to reach for the ABXY buttons.

I was about to say "You must have big pockets." but I just tried it myself and it actually fits in my pockets, too. Well, not in all of my trousers, but most have the same size pockets so that's pretty cool.
Not that I usually put anything in those pockets, but it's nice to know.
Capcom would decide to NOT include Online in the Japanese release, knowing all too well that Japan is their primary market for Monster Hunter where it reaps the most profits and would add one to an international release for no reason whatsoever.
I'm excited about this, I bought Tri when it first came out but hated the control setup so I sold it and enjoyed the hell out of the PSP variants of Monster Hunter instead. If the 3ds version has online play, this will be the second 3ds title I'm actually excited about. The first was/is Tales of the Abyss.
