Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin

Here’s an interesting tidbit about Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin. In the game’s launch month – which was July – it has already outsold the first game on 3DS. In fact, it has actually more than tripled the lifetime sales of the original title.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin came in strong on the just-released NPD charts for July. It managed to come in third for the month.

On July 19, Capcom announced that the game had already shipped over one million copies worldwide.

It’s been three years since the arrival of Monster Hunter Stories on 3DS – or four if you want to look back on the original Japanese release. The title hasn’t been forgotten though, as it was announced today that new Funko Pops are in the works. Lute & Navirou, Ratha, Avinia, and Frostfang will all be receiving new figures.

This isn’t the first time Monster Hunter Stories has been given official merchandise. Capcom produced a few amiibo figures, though they never left Japan.

There’s no word yet on when the Monster Hunter Stories Funko Pops are launching. However, they’re expected to be available “soon”.

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.
