Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is out now for Switch

Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is out now for Nintendo Switch, letting players take their hunting adventures on the go, either starting fresh or transferring data from the Nintendo 3DS version.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate tasks players with becoming a brave hunter who must go on a perilous journey to defend each of the game’s four villages from a major threat known as the Fated Four, plus an even more dangerous all-new Elder Dragon. The title features a blend of classic gameplay and unique new twists, brand new explorable areas and monsters, plus returning fan-favourites like the lightning fast Zinogre and the stealthy long-tailed Nargacuga while also boasting the series’ largest roster of unique monsters.

This release also introduces a new quest level called “G” rank that features even more formidable versions of familiar foes, truly testing experienced hunters’ battle tactics now with different moves and abilities never before seen in the wild! 

For newcomers to the series, the gameplay features tons of powerful super moves called Hunter Arts that can be executed with a quick tap on the touch screen. Players can experiment and choose from six different Hunting Styles including two new ones called Valor Style, which rewards players with new moves for landing successive attacks, and Alchemy Style, a support style that grants the ability to creating useful items on the fly during combat. Hunters are encouraged to explore and customise the experience between quests to find the most personalised playstyle.
