I picked up 3 ultimate when I saw that the eShop was gonna go, but I also picked up the original Tri for 6 bucks at a gamestop. I started my Monster Hunter journey in 4U so that's always gonna be with me.

[@Dgrif12]

When it comes to acquiring these games, I would highly recommend purchasing used, physical copies and avoiding purchasing the digital license, if you can. At least with a physical copy, the game data can be dumped and playable, like a digital copy would be, but you can do far more with that as well. Though, even digital downloads can be backed up to keep around even after the shop prevents downloads.

[@Briarcastle]

Seconded. Even if you spend the money on a digital copy, there is going to come a time when those aren't accessible to be downloaded again (and I'd guess that's going to be a short window at this point), and then you have to rely on that hardware never getting damaged so you don't lose your only digital copy.

[@DulcetCatharsis]

*PSA: ALL OF THESE GAMES ARE NOW 90% OFF UNTIL THE ESHOP CLOSES* I just bought MH3U for 3 dollars on the eShop, and it looked like 4U, Generations, and Stories were all also about $3-4

Guys not to downplay the eshop closing down but these games are literally all available physically for pocket change. But you definitely should get the 3U save transfer tool and 4U software update.

But all those games are easy to find physically on Ebay or Amazon and personally I prefer to have them in that way, in fact, I do actually own them. 😆

[@CrossbreedAzure]

You forgot one very important thing make sure to download all the DLC because they have exclusive monsters that aren't in the games. Monster Hunter 3 ultimate has online High rank and G Alatreon. Monster Hunter 4 ultimate has Online G rank Dalamadur, Black Fatalis, and White Fatalis. Monster Hunter Generations has a few Hyper monsters like Silver Rathalos and Gold Rathian I think. And yes Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate does run at 60 frames a second but only on New 3DS not the regular 3DS.

[@damilkman2900]

MH3U Is awesome. It has underwater combat, It had Ceadeus, First game with Alatreon, Jhen Mohran, AND The awesome Dire Miralis. I'm so glad it was my first Monster Hunter game, introducing me to the series as a kid

I still listen to Ceadeus' theme sometimes because it's just that great! Monster Hunter X was also the game that got me to homebrew my 3DS back then, as I didn't know of region lock and when I imported Monster Hunter X I wasn't able to start the game unless I'd get rid of the regional restriction. I can't remember where I ordered the game back then but they also sent a japanese version of Monster Hunter 4 (not ultimate) for free. That was pretty cool

[@Armameteus]

Cut my teeth on the Franchise with Tri, then proceeded to play 3U and especially 4U pretty much to completion. Admittedly, I bounced off Generations not just due to burnout (since I played the previous games all pretty much back-to-back), but also due to a lot of the gimmickry injected into the combat system and, to be blunt, the _horrendous_ UI. It's the worst I've ever seen in the franchise as far as I've played them and it genuinely made it hard to engage with due to how janky and poorly-designed it was. Wold, conversely, felt like a complete 180 in that regard and has the best UI in the franchise to date, along with some of the most engaging combat mechanics and side-content yet, even compared to Rise. World is still my favourite of the franchise due to all the improvements it made to the formula overall, but I'll always have a soft spot for the older titles. I've not gone back to any of them for a while, but maybe now's a good a time as any, if this encourages people to go back and grab them while they still can.

After falling in love with the series playing Rise, I wanted to get my hands on as much of the catalog as I could. I'm really happy I caught the eshop while I could still add funds.

Monster hunter always intregied me ever since the Tri commercials. Later I would play the 4U demo and get my ass beat by gore when I tried the bow. It wasn't until 2020 when my friend got me to play GU when it went on sale on the eshop. It was awesome. I then played 3U and got stuck on G1, while my friends were being too lazy to get 3U. Then we blitz through 4U the month before rise came out. That was fun. Rise was fun and sunbreak is good too but it seems like capcom is dragging it out longer than it needs to be so to combat burn out I've been waiting every 2 title updates for sunbreak to go back. Maybe world and iceborne players felt similarly. I have world iceborne, stories 1 and 2, Tri and generations waiting on the shelf. I also got the wii u version and its downloads to play 3U online so when I go back to make the other weapons I main, I can go online to move up to fight Dire Miralis. Eventually I'll also get MH1 and then a PSP to play freedom 1,2 and unite.

I wanted to add some clarification for the statement at 5:16 about MH4U running at 60 FPS: MH4U is intended to run at 60 FPS ONLY on the New3DS, but most of the time it's around 45-55 FPS. Not an issue imo, it certainly runs very well and the framerate doesn't feel bad at all. On standard 3DS, the framerate is uncapped but it runs along 30-36 FPS, sitting at around 35 FPS when there's no action.

For anyone who knocks owning things physically because digital is easier or more convenient; things like this should always be a reminder and a lesson to you that your digital purchases and your cloud libraries are going to vanish at the whims of a corporation. If you can't touch the cartridge or the CD, there will be a point at which you can not play that game. We are right in the middle of watching Netflix, a previously incredibly profitable physical-to-digital platform hemorrhage money and publicly fail (on top of all the digital gaming platforms that have already failed). There are no too big to fail companies and they will all happily shed IPs and storage and cut corners, at your expense. Nothing is safe, nothing is sacred; none of these companies view their own products as worth salvaging at the end of the day. So if you love this stuff, if you value it, make sure you actually have it on hand.
