Monster Hunter Generations for Nintendo 3DS

About Monster Hunter Generations for Nintendo 3DS

Monster Hunter Generations was built as a celebration of the series, gathering villages, monsters and ideas from across its history into one generous adventure. You start in the mountain village of Bherna and travel to familiar ports and towns, each with its own quests and characters. Four flagship monsters lead the roster, including the owl like Malfestio and the bubble breathing Mizutsune, while Deviant monsters offer twisted and tougher takes on old favorites. It feels like a festival for long time fans and a rich welcome for curious newcomers alike.

The big new idea is choice. Four hunting styles change how every weapon plays, from the balanced guild style to the daring aerial style that vaults off monsters into the air. Hunting arts add powerful special moves that charge during a fight and can turn a hunt around when they land. You can even play as a Felyne in Prowler mode, with no stamina limits and a scrappy fighting style all its own.

Modern buyers need the physical route. The Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023, which ended new digital purchases for the whole system. A physical cartridge from a retailer is the honest way to play this one now. This celebration entry was a major retail release everywhere, so cartridges are easy to source, and its save data even rewards players of the previous game. If you bought a digital copy before the closure, you can still access your purchased games today.

Pick a style, pick an art and make every hunt your own show.
