Monster Hunter Stories

Nintendo published a launch trailer for Monster Hunter Stories, available today in North America and Europe. Watch it below.

System: 3DS
Release date: September 8, 2017
Developer: Capcom / Marvelous
Publisher: Nintendo


To be quite frank, Monster Hunter Stories came as a surprise to me. I didn’t look too much into what the game was before trying it out, because with all my previous Monster Hunter experience I should be fine, right? Upon starting the game, I only knew fragments of information from the announcement trailer. But once my time with Monster Hunter Stories began, the game subverted my expectations, and it became clear that this wasn’t such a bad thing.

Nintendo has uploaded a new Monster Hunter Stories trailer to promote the international release of the game. Monster Hunter Stories is available tomorrow on the 3DS.

Watch the video below.

Nintendo and Capcom sadly decided against bringing the Monster Hunter Stories amiibo west. However, all of the figures from Japan work with the game, and can be used to unlock special Monstie eggs. IGN shows them all off below.

Amazon has a pre-order bonus for Monster Hunter Stories. If you reserve the game, you’ll receive the “Rider Set” comprised of four different monsters. Each one is pictured above.

You can place an order Monster Hunter Stories on Amazon here. Amazon will provide the DLC for all buyers who pre-order through September 8.

The final localized build of Monster Hunter Stories is starting to reach YouTubers and other media members. Have a look at the game’s first hour below.

Monster Hunter Stories is about two weeks away from launching in the west. Since the release is so close, Nintendo has started a pre-load option on the North American 3DS eShop.

Pre-loading will let you get an early start on launch. You can purchase Monster Hunter Stories in advance and download most of its data. Then on release date, you’ll only need a small update to begin playing.

Monster Hunter Stories takes up 14,736 blocks digitally. That amounts to 1.8GB.

It didn’t take long for Nintendo to open the full North American website for Monster Hunter Stories. You can access it here.

The site has plenty of details about Monster Hunter Stories, along with screenshots and gameplay clips. We’ve rounded up the footage below.
