Monster Hunter Stories is getting a Switch remaster this summer
Monster Hunter Stories, Capcom's first — and surprisingly successful — stab at adapting the series' classic monster battling action into a family friendly turn-based RPG, is getting a Switch remaster sometime this «summer». Seperately, Capcom has confirmed it's coming to PS4 and PC too.
Switch owners have, of course, already had a chance to sample the Monster Hunter Stories series when its accalaimed second outing launched on Nintendo's platform back in 2021. However, Nintendo's latest Direct showcase has revealed the original game — first released for 3DS back in 2016 — is getting a thorough spruce-up for modern audiences.
Moster Hunter 1 cast players as a Monster Ride, setting them loose in a colourful, cartoony rendition of the series' universe to indulge in some classic RPG-style questing, crafting, and, of course, some Pokemon-esque monster collecting, battling, and rearing — and very good it was too.
