During today’s Capcom Highlights showcase, fans were treated to another look at the updated version of the first Monster Hunter Stories with a release date and new trailer. The title is being re-released on Switch after its original 3DS debut with updated graphics and more.

Monster Hunter Stories will launch for Switch on June 14, 2024. There’ll be a couple of Navirou outfits as pre-order bonuses – specifically king and queen. You’ll also get the Mahana Rider outfit as a save data bonus for having played Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin.

Another round of concept art has been spotted for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and one of the images even includes Daisy.

The art comes from Jed Diffenderfer, who worked as a story artist on the film. There are eight images in total showing different aspects and possibly cut elements. Daisy is a big one here as she’s shown in the final battle – plus there’s even a Toad riding a Blue Yoshi, which is straight out of Super Mario World.
