Monster Hunter Tales first launched on Nintendo 3DS again in 2017. The sport launched to optimistic critiques from followers and critics alike, however as time has marched alongside, the 3DS household of programs have change into a relic of the previous and, thus, it’s more durable to get ahold of Monster Hunter Tales and provides it a play. Fortunately, Capcom introduced in March of this 12 months that Monster Hunter Tales could be remastered and enhanced for launch on Nintendo Swap beginning June 14, 2024. That’s only a few days away and by chance we have been capable of pattern this rerelease throughout Summer time 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 sport. Visually, it’s not on the identical degree as its glorious sequel, Monster Hunter Tales 2: Wings of Destroy. That stated, the sport nonetheless appears to be like actually good, with higher textures, sharpened up character fashions, and an general degree of polish that merely wasn’t doable on Nintendo’s little handheld. What followers will likely be seeing on this remaster is the perfect model of the sport they might ever hope for and not using a full remake.
