Monster Hunter Tales first launched on Nintendo 3DS again in 2017. The sport launched to constructive opinions from followers and critics alike, however as time has marched alongside, the 3DS household of methods have develop into a relic of the previous and, thus, it’s tougher to get ahold of Monster Hunter Tales and provides it a play. Fortunately, Capcom introduced in March of this yr that Monster Hunter Tales can be remastered and enhanced for launch on Nintendo Swap beginning June 14, 2024. That’s just some days away and fortuitously we had been in a position to pattern this rerelease throughout Summer season Recreation Fest and are prepared to provide you all of the deets earlier than you decide it up on Friday.
First off, as one would possibly count on, it’s obvious from the outset that this was initially a Nintendo 3DS recreation. Visually, it’s not on the identical stage as its glorious sequel, Monster Hunter Tales 2: Wings of Wreck. That mentioned, the sport nonetheless seems to be actually good, with higher textures, sharpened up character fashions, and an general stage of polish that merely wasn’t doable on Nintendo’s little handheld. What followers will probably be seeing on this remaster is the most effective model of the sport they may ever hope for and not using a full remake.

This iteration of Monster Hunter Tales additionally brings with it the complete suite of updates that the unique recreation obtained over time. This consists of content material that was launched solely in Japan. Look forward to finding monsters Teostra, Kushala Daora, and Rajang, out there from the outset. There will even be post-game content material just like the Tower of Phantasm, and even themed components to customise your character with. Diehards will particularly benefit from the grindy nature of the Tower of Phantasm; it ought to give them lots to sink their enamel into.
Museum Mode is one other contemporary addition to Monster Hunter Tales, carried over from its sequel. Those that resolve to peruse this a part of the sport will discover over 200 items of authentic design artwork to have a look at. There will even be a bunch of background music tracks to take a seat and hearken to. What’s extra, the designers of the sport have even supplied commentary on the work inside the museum, providing a pleasant perception into their thought processes whereas engaged on the sport. It’s a most welcome inclusion that I want extra video games had.
One factor that will probably be missing on this rerelease is amiibo compatibility. Particularly, the amiibo that had been launched in Japan alongside the unique Monster Hunter Tales. Whereas it was doable to import these figures and use them within the US launch of the sport, for this iteration of Monster Hunter Tales the compatibility has been eliminated. Gamers can, nevertheless, nonetheless use the Monster Hunter Tales 2 amiibo that launched with that recreation within the new Tales.
