Which MH game do you guys think is better? MH 1 (PS2) or MH Frontier ?

Quick corection the axel axe was from Monster hunter Explore not frontier, frontier had The Switch axe F wich is basically almost a difrent kind of switch axe had difrent mechanics but same idea

Not sure if you know this, but Frontier has been revived by the fanbase! It's an utter nightmare to actually get it working, but I was even able to play it in English. Also, I think the fact that we got Espinas in Rise is a sign that Capcom hasn't forgotten about Frontier and it might mean that they're going to implement some of the better and more grounded ideas from Frontier into the main series!

Pirating games on Nintendo consoles is simply the morally correct choice

Can we get some Fs in the chat for Monster Hunter Explore since this guy actually forgot it

Great vid, just a clarification based on our convo: Emulators for these kinds of games exist, but this game is not playable on them atm. The phone that runs the game encrypts the data, so it can be dumped properly at the moment. Unfortunately that means it's not playable to a wider audience, but hopefully in the future this will be possible. At the moment I have the only known device with the game, but I would imagine there are more out there. Thanks for using the footage! Again, great vid!

4:17 "some of these assets elsewhere in the future." lowkey think this scene and that specific quote was intentionally put together lol

just a heads up to people wanting to play older games, contrary to what I see everyone say you can buy the physical games for cheap if you look for them. just last week I bought freedom 2 and freedom unite for $5 (combined) after a few days spent checking various second hand retailers (and yes they both were in excellent condition). don't be disheartened by exorbitant resale prices online, any older title that was relatively popular enough to have a decent number of copies still in circulation will be able to be found for a good price if you take the time to look.

the only thing that i truly want to happen to this franchise is another triple a title that doesn't cut lagiacrus BRING MY BOY BACK CAPCOM HE DON'T DESERVE THIS

Accel Axe is from Monster Hunter Explore, not Frontier, Explore was a Mobile Monster Hunter game, that, as a common trend, also featured unique and currently still exclusive monsters 👍and generally, i think Explore played really well, so hopefully MonsterHunter Now plays a little like it

One of my favourite (and apparently obscure) MH games was Monster Hunter Hunting Quest, a weird mix of RPG, Card game and Idle Game, in which you create a deck of litteraly Hunters to explore and hunt monsters, while trying to upgrade each individual card I remember sinking lots of time on it using Google screen translation trying to understand what I was doing every 4 seconds

If the company is no longer actively trying to make money off of a game then its ok to pirate it

I'm so glad you mentioned MH: Spirits. I played it on my trip to Japan back in 2016, and even bought the special Zinogre accessory (essentially a proto-kinship stone that could be placed on a part of the arcade cabinet that read a QR code which is revealed after it pops open) available in the electronics section of the local superstore. I still have the small deck of cards I collected from my several plays of the game. I wish western arcades had more game cabinets with cards and progression to draw in regular customers. Couch gaming is great, but the thrill of playing at an arcade, as well as the social aspects, is such an amazing thing that I regret is missing from western culture.

The Mesaporta Reclamation games looks like something I genuinely would of loved and enjoyed for the strategy.

I played Monster Hunter Spirits, it was a great experience, the idea that you could either level up the monster you used during the fight or get a new monster was a fun experience.

i hope that they make a combination between frontier, world and tri for the water mechanic, cause i think the way they're evolving i think this can be an amazing feature in the future games

Great video! But I'm surprised you didn't even mention Monster Hunter Explore. The (I think) most succesfull and probably "most genuine" smartphone Monster Hunter experience. Was really sad when they shut that down. The gameplay WAS somewhat stripped down, but very fun and enjoyable in its own way.

the Accel Axe was from EXPLORE not FRONTIER, the Switch Axe F was in Frontier

came here from the Hey Jay! video reacting to yours! I wanted to see it unedited since this was always an interesting topic for me! keep up the good work

Isn't generations already on the switch? Also is generation like a combination of all the monster hunter games (exception being stories) put together but with a few upgrades? Genuinely asking as i haven't played it yet.

Hey dark hero I’ve been a fan of your Chanel for while ever since I found it a 1,5 years ago, And I’ve been wondering a question that I’m hoping you can answer for me, when it comes to the dromes and greats of monster hunter, which one in you opinion would be considered the deadliest? I’m hoping in A future video of yours you can explain the dromes and the greats in detail

A lot of people probably already said this, but the Excel axe is from MH explore, not frontier.

I did sink in around 100h into MHO and I remember playing mezaporta reclamation for a bit. Both were fun games. I wish there was a way to play them today

I would argue that Freedom Unite is not as expensive. I think it is around $40 canadian for a physical copy at the time of writing. For a psp game is not bad, considering that some games on that console have gotten pretty pricey this days, and Freedom Unite has so much content that it is worth it. Or the digital version on Ps vita, despite looking a bit choppy is also a good alternative. Great video.

4:16 I like how you direct the word "Assets" on this section .. it's too straightforward but I like that one 😆😂

I was able to play MHO on my PC for a few months with the English patch and sucked that it closed

Subbed... because of the very funny intro and the awesome accent!

Dear Capcom.... GIVE ME MY MAGNET SPIKE YOU COWARDS! Thank you.

Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii was a wild trip of a childhood, played Monster Hunter Portable Third through emulation 6-8 years ago and then JUST tried it again couple months back and the servers are miraculously just as populated as they were way back when

Correction: The axcel axe was from the mobile game monster hunter explore. You probably confused it for the magnet spike weapon, which is completely different.

With Espinas (as a Frontier’s « exclusive » and also a pseudo flagship) in Sunbreak, who knows. Maybe we’ll get Tonfas or a similar weapon in future titles (because we really need a fast blunt weapon, like dual hammers!) Monster Hunter Online had some of the greatest exclusive Monsters too, let’s hope for the best for the next main title!

What's the BGM in 0:30?

That Pokemon diamond/pearl city music doesn't go unnoticed :)

One of capcoms forgotten mh game (kind of) is monster hunter explore. Basically its an rpg monster hunter in a phone which you control with a joystick on the screen and swipe on the screen to dodge. It also has a unique monster which is one of my most favorits of all time named morudomunto. It has the frame of gor, but the arms have a mouth in it and that its arms stretches, its black in color and has a big crown like horns with a big tail and it splurges out this black slime that hardens and becomes spikes on the ground infilcting wound meaning when you roll you take damage. And another one nef-garmat. Basically an edgyptian dragon, it has gold scales with a black skin and has blue glowy lines when enrages and here's the unique part. to un-enraged nef-garmat you need to attck the crystal attached to its tale that he picked up on the ground, if you pick up the crystal you get a buff making the fight easier thats why its necessary to take Off the crystal. And to name a few variants we have nargacuga with water jets for wings, a watermelon uragaan, a flaming rathian and rathalos (literally... they are on fire), a zinogre that's color green (looks cool ngl), we also ahve the OG frostfang barioth, a literally demonic rajang, and a golden lightning kirin fuk that guy. i dont know if my network was slow as hell but i was fr sure that bitch was teleporting. And dont even mention the events for example we have a colosal titan pickle, and an alfons diablos from full metal alchemist etc... In short "loved" the game.

dude i came from a digimon world stream and i decided to close it and watch your video i thought i didn't close the stream cause of the city music in you video XD

Freedom Unite in RE style remake would probably kill me. I'd lap that stuff up like a stray dog at a buffet who doesn't know when the next meal is going to be.

I would really like to see tri remastered. Underwater controls are fine if you are using a ps or Xbox controller and they can only get better with a remaster

Tbh I would love to see a remake of Freedom Unite.

Correction about the Monster Hunter i part, while the SuperRAD did make a good video on it he had to get the Japanese flip phone to in order to play it. His community did help by sharing info about the game and donating for him to pay for the phone but as of now the only way to play this game is to own that phone it is impossible to emulate it. He had just been able to record footage that he can share for the video.

I logged over way to many hours on the original monster hunter on ps2. The controls were bad compared to today's monster hunter games. But I did get use to them and still enjoyed the game. Good memories buying that game on launch day😊

I heard that Digimon World music in the background boi

at 5:36 ...Doesn't that look like the sword on the back of the hunter in the new Monster Hunter: Wilds trailer?

Using citra to play through GenU (Japanese release on 3DS before switch, has all the content as the switch port, massive modding community that translates it to English, and unlocks a lot of special event quest and a lot of graphical overhaul mods that make it look better than the switch port) and 4U and using CemU to play 3U

@2:36 I thought you were doing an ad for "monster hunter ... to reclamation" for like a good minute there

Does anyone know where I can get the “monster hunter i” mobile phone game?

MH Online, my beloved. I gave it a try back in 2017 (VPN w/ the English patch), but didn't get into full swing until about a year before it's shutdown announcement. Sure, it had it's janky moments and was a little rough around the edges, but I enjoyed every bit of it.

The real game abandoned by capcom is the entirety of the MegaMan franchise 😢

For Mesaporta Reclamation: one of the girls in its anime op looks like Chaika from an anime, may be that can be a good hint witch studio is it from

Mhgu is also on the switch, right?

4:17 believe me i want tome of those game experience and armor's in a future monsters Hunter 😏😂

MONSTER HUNTER ONLINE HAD 800H in this GAME CAN RECOMMEND SO GOOD ARBITER ESTRELLIEN MY BABY OR PURPLE SLICEMAGIL:D!

I remember loving Monster Hunter Dynamic since it was a little phone game my brother uses in-between exercises when I was little. I've tried many times to get various apks working, from emulating old phones to trying to get my old brothers phone to work. I would love for it these to work but no success yet.

Is it just me or Monster Hunter Riders was not mention in this video? Also, damn it Capcom, where is my Monster Hunter Stories 2 expansion dlc?

You've forgot about Monster Hunter Explore which was the game with Accel Axe. Frontier only had Tonfas and Magnet Spike there :D

MHO was a lot of fun, I played about 800-1k hours of it right before MHW release on PC It is pretty much MHFU but with MH4 influence. At that time it was the most high fidelity graphic monster hunter game we have, looks gorgeous yet it play exactly like traditional MH game with instance map instead of open interconnected one like MHW/Rise. The problem is that it is in Chinese so we have to wait for fan translation every update tho once you get used to it you can play it without it. There is some P2W element but the game difficulty isn't much different from traditional MH so it was mostly whalebait and ofc gacha cosmetic that looks cool but doesn't offer much else. You can still look great as F2P anyway with camo and you can get some in game currency from grinding to buy weapon camo and limited time armor. Oh and I love the Hunter character creation, IMHO my chara looks hella pretty even more so than MHW, such a shame I can't see her anymore. Oh and I play completely F2P and have a blast playing alone and with the discord community or even with random. Really wish there is an offline version of the game cuz honestly, it was a solid MH experience comparable to the general mainline title unlike MH Frontier who is on a completely different world

Freedom Unite was me and my brothers first entry to the series. Such a fun time.

MH Frontier G was also ported to ps vita. And now people revived this game, there's custom server for it now.

I hope we see some form of remaster for the older games, either for the switch or all platforms, or even see some new form of frontier, with all the speculation of some new monster hunter game probably coming around march of next year, it would be great to give the fans something fresh while working on the next major game

“Buying physical copies of older games will cost you” … I bought a double bundle deal of 3U and 4U for the 3DS on Amazon for $50CA… seriously😆

@ 9:57 "There is always emulation (becuase freedom unite costs a lot)" It's $15.99 usd for an out of box UMD There are thousands of them Only the sealed box costs $90 usd. Working copies go for $15-25

Monster hunter footage with Digimon World OST. You sir are a brother from another mother.

New sub!!

sorry out of topic, but how 4U is the best? i think that is the only one i've never played before (minus Gen because i played GenU instead) and i would love to try it

I always think of that DarkSouls like by capcom (which i always forget its name)

I managed to play almost all mainstream games before World with emulation but 4 ultimate and god this game look amazing. I have MHF installed on my PC and it's a really nice game. It's a shame this mmo never went worldwide, it's one of the best old school game I played, right next to Tri and Generation. I'm still trying to emulate 4 with a nice quality, my CPU isn't all that good I guess, I have framerate issues while playing and it's kinda bad. I can't really play handheld games, my carpal tunnels doesn't like the 3DS all that much.

Ah yes the accel axe a weapon introduced in monster hunter explore being used in frontier, could've sworn explore was released a year after frontiers shut down

Idk, tri was the 2nd MH I tried and I loved it. I miss the days where everything was found out my trial and error and there were secrets to every little thing that it took time to figure out. You could buy books to help you mix items. That was it.

Estrellian NEEDS to come to the main games. I feel like Malzeno is even a prototype for Estrellian

Heads up, the iOS ver of freedom unite was never updated for the most recent ver of iOS, so that no longer works.

2:11 From what I know this case is similar to “Super Mario RPG”. In this case it’s true that the one owning the rights of the franchise is obviously CAPCOM, but because the game was make in collaboration with Tencent Games CAPCOM doesn’t own all the rights of MHO. Which in short means that almost (if not all) of the content in MHO will never be in other MH (by this I mean like CAPCOM can’t extract a monster or armor set directly from MHO and put it in a new game or dlc, but they could still introduce something equivalent or inspired from this collaboration).

Unsure if you've heard of this one yet, but try looking into Monster Hunter Pachislot as well, it's pretty obscure

Aaaah yeah I can confirm it's way harder to get MH Generations even for emulation I've been looking for days and every page has either the game removed, links broken or bad servers that end with the download restarting or cancelled by itself

Slight correction the accel axe was in monster hunter explore not frontiers instead frontiers had a very different version of the switch axe called the switch axe f

I remember still having monster hunter generations cuz I bought the 3DS XL MH edition that had a preinstalled copy of the game in it

My first game was 3Ultimate on the Ds (or 3D i dont remember) and i got 4 ultimate and generations. Sucks they're hard to get now

AWWWW MH Online still hurts my soul they had a full English port of it in like 2018 and i was having such a blast that was so close to the perfect monster hunter game

4:17 Capcom pls utilize the "ASSETS" of the future MH games

Freedom Unite on mobile was sadly taken down from the AppStore and if you didn’t have it downloaded before the shutdown then it can’t be redownloaded as far as I know. Very sad loss

I'm sure if you're in a country that has used game stores or thrift/charity stores, you could find physical copies of the older games for a good price. Most likely cheaper than ebay, maybe as low as $5 or less.

I still play mh4u a lot and mhxx on 3ds even more, tho the online shutting down really really sucks... tho I mostly play with my irl best friend in person so it wont stop us from playing

I'd love it if Capcom would simply upload all of their older titles to Steam as they were first released, with all of their content, and just let us host private servers on our own. I'd love to go back and experience Dos for the first time with friends

Isn't monster hunter generations ultimate basically the upgrade to regular generations? If so then you should still be able to get that on nintendo switch. I own it digitally and I haven't heard any news of them removing that. I also thought I had monster hunter 4 ultimate but i think i was mistaken. I might still have some physical DS copies though.

hey! I think you missed the Monster Hunter Explore which is also an Android/iOs exclusive...

that file city theme in the background

pretty funny that the first game has digimon world 1 background music xd

3:55 Probably Tencent, you can see their logo on the right corner

I remember playing Monster Hunter Freedom Untie on IOS. It was my introduction point to monster hunter and I was hooked for life!

It's not just Generations (though there's at least a Switch port of THAT one exists), 3U and 4U, but also Stories is no longer purchasable unless you can find it physically... Which is a shame, as Stories 2 is on Switch but not the first Also quasi-related, but also Animal Crossing on the 3DS had MH content if you have the MH Stories Amiibo to scan, giving you an exclusive villager and a bunch of furniture items you can't get anywhere else, not even on the Switch version of Animal Crossing.

ONLY 1%! man you got my sub just for that, I can't believe how low that is. For such good content.

I'd like to see the next monster hunter that comes out on the main consoles/platforms be a multi year title receiving more than one expansion something akin to frontier

I played alot of Monster Hunter Online for aropund 2 years it was an amazing game I really hope it comes back like MHFZ did last year it would be amazing to play again.

I mean Generations Ultimate is Generations for 3DS but with all the dlc, extras, and polished better for switch. You can also get the physical copies actually pretty easy and cheap for MH3U and 4U

What about portable 3s home page mini game?

i still have 3G/4G/gen lying around for my 3DS but going back to play on that console just feels bad, i would really like to go back to 3G or 4G but i prefer playing with a proper controller. having remakes with maybe slightly better grafics and some small quality of life changes would be so great going back to portable 3rd on emulator in between world and iceborne release with a friend was a lot of fun

im surprised you didnt mention Monster Hunter Explore

Capcom also seems to forget about Sengoku Basara series and how it just dies silently . . . 😢

The accel Axe is from explore not frontier.

I saw "the game abandoned by Capcom" and immediately thought this video was going to be about dragon's dogma

10:03 Seems like they are doing it now starting with the port of Monster Hunter Stories 1 to pc and modern consoles!

Monster Hunter 3 ultimate on Wii U was my first MH game
