It appears that western 3DS owners can get their hands on the title starting later this year.

Monster Hunter 3G is being localized for both Europe and the US, as reported by EDGE.
The title is releasing in Europe during the third quarter of this year, and the United States will be recieving a localization at a currently unannounced date. The announcement was made in an article featuring the title, which was originally released in Japan in December of last year.
Monster Hunter 3G is a 3DS expansion of the Wii title Monster Hunter 3 (Tri), which includes expanded gameplay as well as 3DS exclusive features.
I'll be kind of surprised if this turns out to be true, considering other remakes like Monster Hunter G and Monster Hunter Portable 3rd never left Japan. I guess it either means that they're trying to push the series more in other regions, or that MH4 is far off.Why does eveyone seem to think Monster Hunter Portable 3rd is a remake? It's not.
Then why does it have all of the areas, monsters, and content from MHT plus new content? I don't know what to call that if not a remake. I guess "reimagining" might work but that's usually used for games that are completely different in content.I'll be kind of surprised if this turns out to be true, considering other remakes like Monster Hunter G and Monster Hunter Portable 3rd never left Japan.

Only downside: I might need to invest in a circle pad pro attachment now.
This is all well and good since I was not in a good mood when they said originally "Japan only", but my real question now is, will it support online play and not just local, because that could still be a game breaker to me.
I'm guessing they're announcing 3G now so it can sell some units before they release 4 in the west as well. After all who'd buy 3G if 4 is available?They actually didn't remove the underwater combat since that was one of the things most fans liked and was new to the series.
Did 3G remove the underwater combat? If not then it'll be REALLY hard to play without a CPP, even if you can do the claw.
