"Over a year since the original game’s launch in Japan, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is finally set to release on these shores next month, alongside Nintendo’s snappily named ‘New 3DS’. Whilst the new hardware and it’s second analog nub will certainly help you get the most out of the title, owners of the ‘old’ 3DS and 2DS haven’t been left out in the cold and will be able to embark on hunts alongside their freshly unwrapped console brethren on February 13th.
Monster Hunter is amongst Capcom’s most iconic series, though it’s never entirely found a home in the West. In Japan the franchise’s popularity is immense, and since its first appearance on the Playstation 2 in 2004 it has firmly embedded itself in Japanese culture. Its subsequent move to handheld and Sony’s PSP gave the console a killer-app, and helped ensure its popularity, particularly amongst gamers in its home nation. Such is the series success that Monster Hunter Portable 3rd’ remains the all-time highest selling game for Sony’s handheld system, despite never being released outside Japan."

Nintendo will be shutting down the eShop for the 3DS and Wii U completely in 2023. Makes sure to check out these games before they do.
If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.
Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.
This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!
Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.
Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?
It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.
You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

What's the best Monster Hunter of all time? In a series where half of the titles have the word 'Ultimate' fixed on the end, it can be a difficult decision to make. NL are not averse to difficult decisions though, so have taken it upon theirselves to rank every single Monster Hunter game (yes, even the non-Nintendo ones) to determine which is the very best.

Monster Hunter World is close to releasing, which means it’s no better time to reminisce and look back at some of the best Monster Hunter games that came before it.
