The Nintendo UK store has revealed a couple of pre-order bonuses for Monster Hunter Rise. By reserving the game, you’ll receive a free steelbook and collectible cards set. You can get a closer look at these items above.

Monster Hunter Rise launches for Switch on March 26. Pre-order the game on the Nintendo UK store here.

Here’s an impressive little Switch tidbit for you. It turns out that Nintendo’s console sold as much as the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One combined in the UK last year. Unfortunately, we don’t have specific sales figures.
