Monster Hunter is hot, we're in a dry year for releases, and there's a 20th anniversary coming up, and man, I think it'd be pretty neat if Capcom re-released some of the older Monster Hunter games. Here's my opinion on why these games should return and how I'd do it. Enjoy!

​​@@dilophoraptordouble well, I think a lot of people would go bananas for old gen monster hunter with new gen monster hunter QoL changes. 3U was my entry into the franchise and while I only played for 400 hours and did relatively little post dire miralis grinding (rath mantle farm made me drop the game and well I had BotW to play), I think I played enough to say that I was fully okay with the old gen quirks. My parents weren't going to buy me a switch to play 4U or GU so I never got to play this even though I wanted to. All these years later and I do have a switch (got it for rise) but after World, I refuse to go back and play without all the QoL changes. I don't even mind the controls (and they have implications for difficulty so aren't just QoL) but things like zone transitions, the radial menu, etc, I have no interest in playing without. Hell, I still have my WiiU so I could've gone back to play to unlock abyssal lagi which I never did because I was a noob that gave up too quickly. I think it's less an HD remaster people are looking for and more a modern remake. Relatively few new gen hunters play old gen games and from the way a lot of them want to fight monsters that have yet to debut in new gen, I know they do want to play those games. And well they clearly want another monster hunter game.

I would definitely say just pure ports of 1G, Freedom Unite, 3U, and 4U would be a fairly logical choice. They're the capstone games of each respective generation and cover a massive amount of ground content wise, and they still hold up for the most part. I think they may decide just to leave behind 2 and P3rd due to them having content that mostly gets covered by the aforementioned games.

I started the series last year and have been devouring almost every game I can get my hands on. As a classic game collector, I love that these games are still cheap. That said though, I would love to see official re-releases to keep online play for them painless and easy. Fans are keeping old games online with fan servers which is awesome, but more stable officially run online play would be ideal. I put in 300 hours on 4 Ultimate since I started last year, and I would absolutely do it all over again. I honestly wouldn't change much either. Rez up the textures, unlock the frame rates, have item sets and equipment sets in every game, speed up some menu animations, and *that's it*.

Capcom won't do it for 3 reasons. 1: Internal Politics This might come as a shock to anyone that hasn't read japanese exclusive interviews and journalism pieces but the was a lot of infighting around the Monster Hunter devs during the franchise's life from DOS to the release of 4 Ultimate. From the main series and portable team having internal beef because the portable team constantly took the main team's game and made it better and easier to sell (MHF to MH1, MHFU to Dos, MHP3RD to Tri, etc), to both teams hating the devs of Monster Hunter Frontier. Most of the people working at Capcom do not look fondly on the days of older Monster Hunter and the moments when they do call back to older Monster Hunter stuff, is done out of the desire to give fans something to speak out to their nostalgia and fan favourite games, not because anyone at Capcom still cares about those games. 2. Capcom knows the community has always valued emulation The MH Community is perhaps one of the most emulation friendly communities in gaming. For what is now decades, people have been helping each other to play the older Monster Hunter titles on emulators compared to other franchises like Zelda where most of the community is either against or unwilling to get into emulation. ALL the emulators needed to play every single Monster Hunter game ever released are perfected emulators without any bugs, glitches or setbacks. They all have an extremely easy setup with just dragging the game's file into a folder. Capcom knows this and knows that if they release remasters/rereleases for older MH games, no one except youtubers that need content would engage with them, because you can already play every MH flawlessly on your pc. 3. Franchise Reset. World has been everything Capcom ever dreamed of and they want every other upcoming mainline MH game to follow its gameplay, ideas, live service model, designs, etc. Rise and Sunbreak were much more appreciative of older Monster Hunter content but thats a portable team game, and what Capcom cares about is the main team, the ones that made World. And that team has been moving towards forgetting or abandoning older Monster Hunter strengths and not catering to the discussions around it. Capcom knows there is a large conversation in the community about World's less enjoyed "modern" mechanics and its live service elements, and Wilds is the next "World" game and I promise you Capcom's main direction is gonna be doubling down and making Monster Hunter even more of a modern multiplayer live service game. Releasing something that reminds the community of "old" Monster Hunter is gonna cause the conversation to get even louder as people see all the stuff World, Iceborne and probably Wilds left behind or ruined, and they don't want that kind of talk around their now premier franchise.

My partner and I were new to MH with World (during the whole return to world hype) and still haven't dug into Rise yet, since World has given us a lot to do, but I have picked up GenU for the switch to play while traveling and found it very fun and cozy. I'd be really happy to get any of the games you suggested (FU, 3U, 4U) as soft remakes or remasters. I know its probably not likely, but I'd really like personally for Frontier or MH Online to become available again. Probably not in the cards but they seem like fun games I'd like to try someday. 😊

Definitely agree with this vid! We need the older titles on the market. I started with world and loved every second. Then when rise came out I got a switch with rise and GU and loved them. After playing GU last I actually like that old format a lot. It was tough to get used to but it clicks. I very much want to play the older ones but haven't been able to. I've seen all the monsters and alot of gameplay and it just deserves to be experienced by everyone. Capcom should take this opportunity to really go ham and show their old games love. I feel like the old fans haven't been getting the attention all the new fans have. We should live in a world where the old games and new games can all be played on the same systems easily.

I’d personally prefer soft remasters, with *maybe* some small changes. Like, if they incorporated GU’s “hold to gather” mechanic I wouldn’t complain. Obviously they’d have to update the UI, as it was made for handhelds and the map covers a fourth of the screen, so scaling that down and just making it look higher res would be great. For FU in particular I’d just say to speed up UI animations, like you showed with the item box, include item icons in the UI (like in your inventory), and include prompts when near gathering spots. Hell, even the IOS port of FU included that last one. I’d love a collection to release, but if I had to choose one I’d say either FU or P3rd. 4U is my favorite but it’s still relatively new compared to the others, and while I love 3U idk if they’d bring it back without tweaking underwater combat, and idk if that’s within the scope of a “soft remaster”. FU on the other hand is a lot older, and has an obscene amount of content and monsters that still haven’t seen the light of day since. P3rd on the other hand literally never released here at all, and while I’ve played it and love it thanks to fan translations, I’d love for it to actually release and be officially playable.

I really believe Capcom will release some kind of "serious" (not MHNow) Monster Hunter title to commemorate the 20th Anniversary. They've made a lot of smart choices when it comes to how they release MH games and have shown, especially recently that they listen to the community. There is demand for the old style of MH, or MH in general and Capcom knows it. They will release something. I'd place my money on multiple old games getting ported to all plattforms, but i could also imagine them doing one seriously touched up remaster, possibly for MHP3RD. Or maybe even both. I would be happy with anything classic style MH. And lastly,news on the Timi game would be nice. Seems like nobody's even thinking about that anymore

That kinda stuff they do in patches so it shouldn't be a huge deal and the rest doesn't bother me.

Personally a port of tri and 4u would be enough for me, I think they look visually good enough that they would look good on a PC without a remaster. What I would like to see is new games made with segmented hunting grounds released. This is as they should be faster to make then the games with the modern hunting grounds and if they become popular could be released between the console and portable games. This seems like it would be good as monster hunter games are getting bigger and thus longer to make. It would also be a nice chance to mix the older mechanics with the new ones in interesting ways. These could serve as a testing bed for more monsters as lots of animations that are needed as a result of unsegmented hunting grounds would not need to be made, and as such more experimental monsters could be made at a lower cost and in a shorter time frame and if they are liked could be brought into the games without segmented hunting grounds. It would also be useful for testing other mechanics like a new skill system that doesn't get as bloated as the present one but isn't as complex as the old one.

As I write this, I'm currently in my first playthrough of MH3U, playing on Wii U, maining Hammer and up against that annoying bastard Uragan. I started with the original MH1 back in the day, played the PSP games and didn't play the series again until World due to not having the right consoles at the time. Platinumed World, beat Fatalis and got my girlfriend into the series, very successful. Played the hell outta MHGU and then continued into Rise, and then bought it again on PS5 cause my friends and I all want that higher frame rate haha. Last year and this year I've been going back through the series from the original all the way to MH4U, I even bought a 3DS and Wii U, I also bought physical copies of every game, even Japanese exclusives, and played some through less legitimate ways via Steam Deck (MHP3rd is AMAZING), doing this has taught me just how fantastic the old games are and why we need a modern port of them. I'd say do a remaster of MHFU, MH3U and MH4U, slap em on every current system so everyone can play them, wham bam everyone happy and Capcom makes a craptonne of money, though thats probably wishful thinking.

In a perfect world, we would get legacy collection with one of two outcomes. 1. Just slap every game before GU onto modern consoles and PC, even the more redundant ones in hindsight (Keeping Freedom 2 around when Freedom Unite is strictly better). Even keep stuff like DOS and Tri which are some of the more unique titles. Or 2. Release a sort of “Super Ultimate” version of each gen so you get the full experience of each. For example, in Gen 1, low rank would be in village, high rank in the guild hall, and G rank in the city of Minegard. But this is a true pipe dream. Above all else, old gen games with online on PC, please Capcom I beg of you. Even give us Peer to Peer for longevity ;-;

Freedom Unite remaster: My favorite Monster Hunter. My friends and I all clocked in over 1000 hours in it. Its more deliberate pace could be a bit jarring for the newer audience. 3 Ultimate remaster: I'm currently replaying 3U on the side. Underwater combat would benefit greatly from modern control schemes. 4 Ultimate remaster: Safest choice. It's the Monster Hunter game that I remember the least about, so I'd definitely be down for a full replay of it on modern hardware. New content for World or Rise: With so many people returning to these games, they could drop some new monsters into them. Like a teaser to set up some Wilds reveal.

I would so love to see the older games available again. If I had to only pick one, it might be Portable 3rd. There was never an English release and it's just so pretty. Shame more people couldn't enjoy the debut of Jinouga (Zinogre) and the Misty Peaks. But if I could totally have it all, give me remasters of MHFU, P3rd, Tri, MH3u, and MH4u. Remasters would be way better than a remake. But just so people here know, ad hoc (local) multiplayer still works for the old portable games on PSP and 3ds. Kinda wonder if the same would be true for 5th gen games.

13:30 I didn't mention this in my original comment the first time I watched this video, but I actually think there are legal reasons holding these games back from being re-released, and that is the collaboration event quests. It's not worth it for Capcom to re-up their deals with other companies for these collabs (and any Nintendo collabs would be a complete no-go on other platforms), but at the same time you can't just remove a lot of those event quests because they have armor and weapons that would make a lot of people upset if they were removed (like the Star Knight armor in 4 Ultimate), and it's not like they're gonna make new assets to layer over that old collab gear either. It's certainly a dilemma.

Ever since the announcement of the 3DS and WiiU servers shutting down, I've been playing through 3U and 4U. My goal is to fight every monster and subspecies exclusive to those games. Though for 3U I added experiencing every underwater monster. The only other "Old World" Monster Hunter I've played was GU. These games, and the monsters exclusive to them, deserve to be more accessible to "New World hunters." I'd prefer a slight remake, where the only change is the World/Rise dynamic monster health. That would make it so the games aren't insane to solo if you want to experience everything. In my playthroughs, I've even used different weapons than my GU main. Switch Axe for 3U and Insect Glaive for 4U. 3U's goal has been done for months, loved all of the new monsters and am pro-underwater combat. With 4U, I have White Fatalis left. While he isn't exclusive, I heard his GU fight is so much worse.

Replaying Freedom Unite right now actually, there's so many memories and challenges that perplexed my youger self, now I'm just coasting through. Would definitely recommend playing the older titles if you like the new ones. Please start with mh4u, you'll find the adjustment and the monster pool more accommodating (we do have one shot monsters in end g rank though). I would then recommend mh3u, then mhfu! 3u had a really unique swimming mechanic that really added to certain fights, and feels waaaay better on a controller. That said still not a perfect idea, they didnt put swimming back in after. The game itself is fantastic. Freedom Unite is amongst the hardest monster hunter games Ive played, but the title is incredibly enjoyable despite that! The movesets are incredibly simple, and hitboxes linger. But dont let that deter you!!

I kinda want the old way to gather.. I came from MH (PS2) 2005, was 8 years old back then, had to follow a Mosswine to find a mushroom gathering spot, had to manually find herb to gather, just the knowledge alone, made me feel the same as slaying my first Yian Kut Ku to break out from being a Greenie Hunter, but keep the pickaxe, I hate bringing a few pickaxe and breaking after 2-4 picks. Hate em'. Oh and I played Tri, I love the idea of "Build your own Bowgun." Please let it return, I love my HBGs and I hope Gunner Style Armor comes back, just make it when I equip it with a range weapon it has a different look, like the old ones where 1 side is well protected while the other is more exposed, just change it back to visually, fashion has become kinda boring when everyone practically look the same, and like it or hate it, I like needing entry fees for a quest, I like prepping for a hunt, and maybe MH TRI REMASTERED TO STEAM THIS YEAR !? Come on, its AN ANNIVERSARY !

Would love to get a retro port pack for old monhun games. The current unofficial way of multiplayer with emulators is a lot of work and it's hard to convince my friends for that. Playing the janky freedom unite with friends today or even potentially online lobbies with randoms sounds crazy cool. These old game's hub quests are an absolute marathon solo as well so it would be fun to see how they work in multi. Maybe FU doesnt stand for "Fuck You" after all xd... then again those small monsters...

In an optimal world they would do some kind of bundle but I just wanna play some Monster Hunter

TL;DR- You could get a 3DS together with MH:Generations for under $60, 3U for around $100, and 4U for around $140 if you're not picky about which 3DS model you're getting. All of the 3ds titles are on Amazon for prices that aren't too ridiculous for discontinued content. MH4U is the most expensive at ~$99, MH3U is $60 new and $45 used, and Generations(non-ultimate) is the cheapest at about $15. The 3ds is a bit trickier, but the cheapest ones are under $100 and the most expensive ones are about $340. I just replaced my old one for about $170

started with world, then rise, went back and tried GU. Generations ultimate was by far my favorite by a landslide. hunter styles and hunter arts are amazing. I also 100% agree regarding being able to restock mid hunt on items, i think its broken and it kind of ruins the game for me. In old MH you can only make so many mistakes before you run out of resources. You can get more pots if you bring the ingredients to craft more mid mission, but at the end of the day its up to you to play aggressive enough to do enough damage while minimizing getting hit. In new MH as long as the monster doesnt 1 shot you, you can basically get hit as many times as you want. just insta teleport back to camp and full restock. Ive found playing the newer monster hunter games i just turn my brain off honestly, like who cares if i get hit, there is barely any punishment behind it. specially in rise lmao just wirebug away and use one of your infinite pots, just kind of boring honestly. Just started playing frontier and even though its insanely hard, i already like it more than world and rise. Im sure wilds will continue the trend of allowing full restocks mid hunt. Personally i think its a terrible design choice.

yes, i agree with you and Rurikhan, the one quality of life thing they need to remove is infinite restock. it makes lazy MMO gimmicks required in the endgame, rather than just being a novelty once in a while. it's funny to think on how the series has grown. little known fact, the first portable game in gen 1 only had 1 new monster in yian garuga. somehow, he wasn't the flagship of that game! i'd love them to establish a third team for remake/remasters, give us gen 1/2 in their entirety as 1 game. 3u, no that has too much potential, let them do the gen 1/2 to test them out, as a "this team exists now" and have them do 4U next. finally, after they've proven themselves worthy, with those 2 releases, have them remaster MH3U with it as the testing ground for redoing underwater combat but better. let them use that to get feedback from the wider audience before they bring it back for real in a new game. that's the dream.

So here's my thoughts on this topic Fiest off what games, obviously the big most important ones are freedom unite, 3U and 4U and if any will get ports it will be them, I would however love a port of tri and the first 1 aswell as finally having dos and portible 3rd translated, but the ultimate games are the way to go Secondly what form, i don't want them remade from the ground up, all I want is a port with some slighty touched up graphics and functional Mutiplayer and controller options so they are playable in the ways people are familiar with but nothing else changed, Finaly my big point, we should be playing the long game so we should pick one, everything pre world could be used to Bridge the gaps between games for many years to come if we stretch things out, so if we only get one it's between FU/3U/4U and personally my vote goes to freedom unite as its the oldest as such is in the most need to new exposure, however the first game would be perfect as the 20th anniversary title

Started with Rise and made my way backwards. Played GU then got a New 3DS for 3/4U. Planning on playing Tri, have FU on Vita and I'm gonna play World with my friend and girlfriend. Remastering 4U would be perfect seeing how GU on Switch shows how great a 3DS game can look while 3U they'll probably port the Wii U version. It would also be great if you could transfer content from your 3DS/Wii U to the current consoles but I have no idea how that would work It would also be nice to add some improvements like how GU let's you hold down the gather/carve button compared to previous games where you had to mash the button to continue or they could possibly add layered gear into the older games but again, I'm not sure if that's even possible
